A bridge over troubled water : flooding shocks and supply chains

Bijnens, Gert; Montoya, Mariano; Vanormelingen, Stijn - NBB Conference Deglobalisation, Decarbonisation and … - 2024

This paper estimates how the impact of a natural disaster propagates through the production network. More precisely, we look at the excessive rainfall in the summer of 2021 that caused large areas to be severely flooded in Belgium. We first look at the direct effects on firms active in the...

General equilibrium approach consistent with travel cost method for economic evaluation of Beach erosion by climate change

Nakajima, Kazunori; Sakamoto, Naoki - 2013

Numerous attempts have been made to evaluate economic impacts by climate change, and the evaluation method can be classified into two approaches. One is a partial equilibrium approach and the other is a general equilibrium approach. The former method includes a travel cost method (TCM) and a...

The distribution of energy efficiency and regional inequality

Hobbs, Andrew; Singhal, Puja - 2021

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...

Climate change related risks, opportunities and adaptation actions in European cities : insights from responses to the CDP cities program

Groth, Markus; Brück, Maria; Oberascher, Teresa - 2016

Cities, home to more than half of the world's population and important economic hubs, are vulnerable to impacts of climate change and worthy to protect. To address these challenges, implementing climate change adaptation measures is inevitable. The paper provides insights into climate change...

Coalition formation with border carbon adjustment

Schopf, Mark - 2020

The present paper analyzes the impact of a climate coalition's border carbon adjustment on emissions from commodity production, welfare and the coalition size. The coalition implements border carbon adjustment to reduce carbon leakage and to improve its terms of trade, while the fringe abstains...
