The United Nations Sendai (2015) framework aims to reduce disaster risk. We offer a careful definition and computation … of the individual and property risk targets. Selecting the largest and better studied class of “natural disasters” over … the period 1970-2018, we show that individual risk is “likely” falling, that property risk is neither rising nor falling …

climate change. The risk of uncertain and potentially irreversible catastrophes is an important issue related to the latter … benchmark integrated assessment model. This study moves beyond recent catastrophe or tipping point studies with arbitrary risk … introduced here informs risk management strategies that balance uncertain future climate change impacts with the costs of …

Whilst studies have looked at the impact of one-off exogenous events on risk preferences, few have used longitudinal … field data to assess the long-run effects of cumulative exposure to shocks. This paper studies how risk preferences are … provides causal evidence that past disaster experience leads to decreased risk aversion over time. Heterogeneity analysis finds …
