Are there long-term negative educational effects that stem from hurricanes? Does living through hurricanes during key educational years (6 to 9 yrs.) entail worse long-term educational outcomes? In my honors thesis, I explore these questions focusing on Puerto Rico, an understudied territory subject to extreme climate risk. I found that, on average, hurricanes have little impact on the long-run highest grade completed in Puerto Rico; I also find no statistically significant results that those individuals ages 6 to 9 are more at risk than other cohorts
