Climate Generated Disasters and Cataclysm in an Economy

Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

Abstract

I model the effects of climate change on a real business cycle model economy subjected to climate moderated disasters and the possibility of a worldwide cataclysm that destroys the economy. I find that the rise of greenhouse gas production in the economy leads to more frequent and more destructive disasters that affect the real economy, at the same time leading to lower risk-free rates and higher risk premiums.
