We investigate the economic impact of stochastic endogenous extreme events and insurance in a growth model. Our analytical results and computational experiments show that i) transparency of the insurance sector is the decisive requisite for abatement activities, implying substantial policy...

The severity of extreme weather events is increasing due to climate change, giving rise to physical climate risk. However, physical climate risk is not only driven by the severity of individual hazards, but also by the interdependence of those hazards. This paper establishes bounds for the...

Under the influence of climate-related extremes, the world is exposed to more and more catastrophe risks. Regulation by insurance may help realize the goal of mitigating catastrophe risk and the following losses. I explore five regulatory tools — risk-based pricing, contract design, loss...
