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 …

In the presence of a tipping point for dangerous climate damages, the cooperation problem of climate protection can be transformed into a coordination problem that is much easier to deal with (Barrett, 2013). This holds in particular if the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that triggers the...

This paper studies the long-term distribution of energy-efficiency outcomes in the German residential sector. To uncover the underlying energy efficiency of buildings, we estimate the causal response of building-level heat energy demand to variability in heating degree days. We examine...
