optimal policy balance in the context of catastrophic climate risk. The analysis uses the WITCH integrated assessment model … with a module that models the endogenous risk of experiencing an economic catastrophe if temperature increases above a … certain threshold. We find that the risk of a catastrophic outcome would encourage countries to reduce emissions even in the …

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...

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 prevention services, claim management, and refusal to insure — used by … could have a significant effect on risk mitigation. Finally, I discuss the possibility and feasibility of regulation by …

Results indicate that the presence of catastrophic risk induces … responsiveness of mitigation to changes in adaptation decreases. Compared to a world without climate catastrophes, risk reduces the …

Research on disaster risks has also actively been pursued in the macroeconomic models of climate … change. Our paper uses insights from the former work to study disaster risks in the macroeconomics of climate change and to …
