International financial transfers are increasingly being sought as crucial to help developing countries adapt. We use contract theory to investigate what factors affect the feasibility of a financing mechanism to deliver adaptation finance at scale while providing an incentive for adaptation to take place at the lowest possible cost. In particular we look at a representative donor&rsquo;s behavior when different assumptions are made with respect to the observability of adaptation effort by the recipient and with respect to the terms of the financing agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker: Gianni Ruta, PhD student at Grantham Research Institute<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><p>Part of the Grantham PhD seminar series Economic impacts caused by weather-related extreme events and gradual climate change will hurt&hellip;<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"author":43,"featured_media":0,"template":"","tags":[854,763,224,160],"event-type":[381],"topic_area":[],"class_list":["post-6305","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","tag-adaptation-finance","tag-climate-change-adaptation","tag-developing-countries","tag-grantham-phd","event-type-seminars"],"acf":{"start_date":{"ref_value":"field_52f56b18a98ba","value":"20111019","type":false,"post_type":""},"start_time":{"ref_value":"field_52f56b33a98bb","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"end_date":{"ref_value":"field_52f56bb58f239","value":"20111019","type":false,"post_type":""},"end_time":{"ref_value":"field_52f56bd38f23a","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"event_venue":{"ref_value":"field_531c65c575d35","value":"LSE","type":false,"post_type":""},"eventbrite_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f59e0b20728","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"profile_link":{"ref_value":"field_52f164b5189e9","value":["gianni-ruta"],"type":"relationship","post_type":"profile"},"spotlight":{"ref_value":"field_52f80896506d3","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"external_speaker":{"ref_value":"field_5374dcb208782","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"exclude_from_sync":{"ref_value":"field_560538b0e7350","value":"0","type":false,"post_type":""},"location":{"ref_value":"field_559cf9dc612b6","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""},"rss_newsletter":{"ref_value":"field_54f5c2c1544d8","value":"","type":false,"post_type":""}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
