Risk and Aversion in Assessing Climate Policy
Crost, Benjamin - 2013
The precise consequences of climate change remain uncertain. We incorporate damage uncertainty into a joint model of climate and the economy, an integrated assessment model. First, both the science and the integrated assessment community analyze uncertainty by means of sensitivity analysis and...

Climate, Urbanization, and Conflict : The Effects of Weather Shocks and Floods on Urban Social Disorder
Castells-Quintana, David - 2020
In this paper, we test the effect of weather shocks and floods on urban social disorder for a panel of large cities in developing countries. We focus on a particular mechanism, namely the displacement of population into (large) cities. We test this hypothesis using a novel dataset on...
