Adaptation to catastrophic events with two layers uncertainty : central planner perspective

Bondarev, Anton; Krysiak, Frank C. - 2018

We study the optimal adaptation to extreme climate events by the central government in a setup where events are dynamically uncertain and the government does not know the true probabilities of events. We analyze different policy decision rules minimizing expected welfare losses for sites with...

Potentials and Limits of Bayesian Networks to Deal with Uncertainty in the Assessment of Climate Change Adaptation Policies

Catenacci, Michela; Giupponi, Carlo - 2010

Bayesian networks (BNs) have been increasingly applied to support management and decision-making processes under conditions of environmental variability and uncertainty, providing logical and holistic reasoning in complex systems since they succinctly and effectively translate causal assertions...

The role of data and priors in estimating climate sensitivity

Ikefuji, Masako; Magnus, Jan R.; Vasnev, Andrey L. - 2023

In Bayesian theory, the data together with the prior produce a posterior. We show that it is also possible to follow the opposite route, that is, to use data and posterior information (both of which are observable) to reveal the prior (which is not observable). We then apply the theory to...

Sellin' in the rain : adaptation to weather and climate in the retail sector

Roth Tran, Brigitte - 2019

Using novel methodology and proprietary daily store-level sporting goods and apparel brand data, I find that, consistent with long-run adaptation to climate, sales sensitivity to weather declines with historical norms and variability of weather. Short-run adaptation to weather shocks is...

Nature-based, structural, or soft measures of adaptation? : preferences for climate change adaptation measures to limit damages from droughts

Ščasný, Milan; Zvěřinová, Iva; Hunt, Alistair - 2019

The objective of this paper is to examine preferences of citizens of three European countries regarding various adaptation plans and measures to limit damages from drought under climate changes. For this purpose, we conducted a survey in the Czech Republic, Italy, and the United Kingdom. We...

Modelling Adaptation to Climate Change in Agriculture

Ignaciuk, Ada - 2014

This paper investigates how climate change can affect agricultural production and proposes some adaptation measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the negative effects of climate change while enhancing the positive ones. The paper stresses the importance of planned adaptation measures and...

Rural households in a changing climate

Baez, Javier E.; Kronick, Dorothy; Mason, Andrew D. - 2012

This paper argues that climate change poses two distinct, if related, sets of challenges for poor rural households: challenges related to the increasing frequency and severity of weather shocks and challenges related to long-term shifts in temperature, rainfall patterns, water availability, and...

Are German tourists environmental chameleons? : a micro-econometric analysis of adaptation to climate change

Schwirplies, Claudia; Ziegler, Andreas - 2013

This paper empirically analyzes the determinants of individual tourism-related adaptation to climate change, i.e. the stated choice of alternative travel destinations due to increasing temperatures in the future. By examining the tourism sector, our study investigates an industry which was not...
