Tamma Carleton, Esther Duflo, Kelsey Jack, & Guglielmo Zappalà explore the literature on two main forms of #climate adaptation (ex-post and ex-ante), outline how each can evaluate #policy, and consider how they can directly inform policy design and implementation. cepr.org/voxeu/column... #EconSky
Adapting to climate change – finding ways to prevent the harshest effects or deal with crises when they occur – is a first-order issue. But research on the economics of adaptation has offered little guidance for policy. This column reviews the existing literature on adaptation and considers how it can more directly inform policy design and implementation. The authors identify two distinct streams of adaptation literature, outline how each can be used to evaluate policy, highlight limitations and opportunities for public intervention in private adaptation markets, and provide guidance for future work.

Ending the session, @guglielmozappala.bsky.social (UC Berkeley) introduces “Endogenous Green Preferences”. The study shows that exposure to strict environmental policies, especially in early adulthood, increases long-term support for them, highlighting preferences evolve with policy experience.

Our chapter on adaptation is now available both as NBER WP and in the hot off the press Handbook of the Economics of Climate Change! An uplift of unifying theory, literature review, methods, and recommendations that will hopefully spur new work in this exciting area
