A trend analysis of normalized insured damage from natural disasters
As the world becomes wealthier over time, inflation-adjusted insured damages from natural disasters go up as well. This working paper analyses whether there is still a … read more »
High impact, low probability? An empirical analysis of risk in the economics of climate change
To what extent does economic analysis of climate change depend on low-probability, high-impact events? This question has received a great deal of attention lately, with the … read more »
Economic policy when models disagree
We propose a general way to craft public policy when there is no consensual account of the situation of interest. The design builds on an extension … read more »
