This technical appendix provides detailed descriptive statistics and robustness tests for the study on Jewish persecution and weather shocks from 1100 to 1800. It includes tables with five-year and one-year data, grain prices, and continuous measures of soil suitability and state antiquity. The appendix also discusses the robustness of the findings through various regression analyses, including those using continuous variables for soil quality and state antiquity, and controls for spatial correlation. Additionally, it examines the impact of rainfall on persecution probability, finding that extreme rainfall events, like those during the Black Death, led to higher agricultural output and subsistence crises, making persecutions more likely. The appendix further details the data sources and methods used, including the creation of a database of cities with Jewish presence and the analysis of urban density and temperature data. Historical examples, such as the Black Death and the Armleder massacres, are provided to illustrate the causal mechanisms identified in the empirical analysis.This technical appendix provides detailed descriptive statistics and robustness tests for the study on Jewish persecution and weather shocks from 1100 to 1800.
