A stochastic simulation approach to estimating the economic impacts of climate change in Bangladesh
Thurlow, James; Dorosh, Paul; Yu, Winston - 2011
Climate change assessments often inadequately address uncertainty when estimating damages. Using a dynamic economy-wide model of Bangladesh, we estimate and decompose damages from historical climate variability and future anthropogenic climate change. Our stochastic simulation approach avoids...

Climate change and infrastructure investment in developing countries: The case of Mozambique
Arndt, Channing; Chinowsky, Paul; Strzepek, Kenneth; … - 2011
Climate change may damage road infrastructure to the potential detriment of economic growth, particularly in developing countries. To quantitatively assess climate change's consequences, we construct a climate-infrastructure model based on stressor-response relationships and link this to a...
