Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of climate change on the service sector in ASEAN economies, using a 40-year panel dataset covering 21 Asia-Pacific countries. Focusing on temperature and precipitation anomalies, we estimate fixed-effects regressions with linear and nonlinear specifications. A sector-wide result shows a significant negative loading on temperature, while precipitation remains insignificant. Sub-sector estimates uncover sharp heterogeneity: Wholesale & Retail Trade, Hotels & Restaurants and Transport, Storage & Communications display robust negative first-order temperature components; Financial & Real Estate exhibits a weak concave response; Community, Social & Personal Services show no discernible effect. These results imply differentiated adaptation priorities. Policymakers should channel resources toward heat-resilient retail, logistics and tourism operations, while monitoring and incremental digitization suffice for the currently less-sensitive service sectors.
