The climate change impacts on sea level rise and coastal disasters, and the possible adaptation responses have been studied using very different approaches, such as very detailed site-specific engineering studies and global macroeconomic assessments of costal zones vulnerability. This paper...

Coastal flooding, exacerbated by sea level rise, is a considerable economic threat to low-lying regions. I investigate whether investors account and insure for this hazard by exploiting the heterogeneity of country exposure to current and future coastal floods. Using sovereign credit default...

Recent hurricanes and other severe coastal weather have caused substantial property damage, which, in turn, has increased insurance rates and made insurance difficult to obtain in some locales. This Report suggests that subsidizing the cost of insurance by creating a federal wind insurance...

This book examines in detail the resource management problems and challenges posed by the intensification of the environmental change process in coastal areas around the globe. The analysis deployed is by and large buttressed by methods and techniques drawn from social science disciplines:...
