Understanding Climate Damages: Consumption versus Investment
Casey, Gregory; Fried, Stephie; Gibson, Matthew - 2021
Existing climate-economy models use aggregate damage functions to model the effects of climate change. This approach assumes climate change has equal impacts on the productivity of firms that produce consumption and investment goods or services. We show the split between damage to consumption...
