Abstract

This study examines how exporters make export decisions when faced with production and demand shocks. Using a unique dataset of French wine shipments from 2001 to 2020 across 134 Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) regions, and daily weather data from M´et´eo-France, we employ gravity estimations to show that extreme weather affects both trade intensive and extensive margins, while favorable weather boosts them. A heterogeneity analysis reveals that exports to core markets are less sensitive than peripheral markets to extreme weather, indicating market prioritization by exporters. Our theoretical analysis explains how climate-induced production shock volatility shapes export behavior, leading firms to reallocate resources to most attractive markets and streamline their destination markets portfolios by exiting less favorable ones.
