To explain economic impacts of flood damage due to climate change over time in Japan, this study develops a dynamic … spatial computable general equilibrium model, and measures flood damage costs through some numerical experiments. It is … inferred that the frequency and the intensity of flood are on the long-term increase. In the category of flood damage in Japan …

Recent theoretical work in the economics of climate change has suggested that climate policy is highly sensitive to 'fat-tailed' risks of catastrophic outcomes (Weitzman, 2009). Such risks are suggested to be an inevitable consequence of scientific uncertainty about the effects of increased...

Climate change adaptation efforts are heavily dependent on a country's fiscal capacity and the associated costs of undertaking adaptation policies. The current accumulation of high debt levels in emerging and low-income developing countries, which are disproportionately affected by climate...

The sources of economic growth and development have been puzzling economists from the modern dawn of the profession. While the Solow-Swan neo-classical model dominated research on growth in the 1960s and 1970s, the 1980s saw the emergence of growth theories that disputed, largely on theoretical...
