Weathering the Storm : Supply Chains and Climate Risk

Castro-Vincenzi, Juanma; Khanna, Gaurav; Morales, Nicolas; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2024

We characterize how firms structure supply chains under climate risk. Using new data on the universe of firm-to-firm transactions from an Indian state, we show that firms diversify sourcing locations, and suppliers exposed to climate risk charge lower prices. Our event-study analysis finds that...

Preserving the Ocean Circulation : Implications for Climate Policy

Minimax-Regret Climate Policy with Deep Uncertainty in Climate Modeling and Intergenerational Discounting

DeCanio, Stephen J.; Manski, Charles F.; Sanstad, Alan H. - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Integrated assessment models have become the primary tools for comparing climate policies that seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Policy comparisons have often been performed by considering a planner who seeks to make optimal trade-offs between the costs of carbon abatement and the...

Policy with Stochastic Hysteresis

Riabov, Georgii; Tsyvinski, Aleh - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

The paper develops a general methodology for analyzing policies with path-dependency (hysteresis) in stochastic models with forward looking optimizing agents. Our main application is a macro-climate model with a path-dependent climate externality. We derive in closed form the dynamics of the...

The Effects of Climate Change on Labor and Capital Reallocation

Albert, Christoph; Bustos, Paula; Ponticelli, Jacopo - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

We study the effects of climate change on labor and capital reallocation across regions, sectors and firms.

Climate Change Uncertainty Spillover in the Macroeconomy

Barnett, Michael; Brock, William A.; Hansen, Lars Peter - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

The design and conduct of climate change policy necessarily confronts uncertainty along multiple fronts. We explore the consequences of ambiguity over various sources and configurations of models that impact how economic opportunities could be damaged in the future. We appeal to decision theory...
