Digests

Our monthly Digests are curated by economists working on climate economics. They are based on the curator’s latest research and highlight the most critical contributions to a specific subject. The Digests aim to illuminate current research and policy debates on mitigating and adapting to climate change from an economic perspective. By distilling complex academic papers into an accessible format, the Digests enable readers to efficiently keep up with this rapidly evolving research area. The series offers a reliable source of current climate economics knowledge to inform analysis and decision making.

Quantifying trade-related transboundary climate risks

Nina Knittel (University of Graz) sheds light on the research investigating how physical damages from one region can spill-over to trading partners.

What do we know about climate finance?

Matteo Gasparini (Oxford University) creates a map of the main branches of the climate finance literature and classifies it according to different dimensions, shedding light on the emerging strands.

Clean energy’s material dependencies

Hugh Miller (OECD) has selected the most recent literature looking at the consequences of a low-carbon global economy for mineral mining.

Efficient pricing of past and future CO2

Derek Lemoine (University of Arizona) introduces a novel market-based instrument that simultaneously measures and controls climate damages.

Biodiversity-adjusted sovereign credit ratings

Patrycja Klusak (Norwich Business School), highlights recent research that aims to adjust sovereign credit scores for the impact of biodiversity risks.

Judge progress at COP27 against the demands of the science

The demand for ‘loss and damage’ finance by vulnerable developing countries is growing. This demand featured heavily at the recent COP27. Danae Kyriakopoulou (LSE Grantham Institute) shares her thoughts on its successes and failures.

Frontiers of climate and nature in macroeconomics and finance

The macroeconomic challenges from climate and nature change are constantly becoming more prevalent. At a conference hosted by the Banque de France on October 24-25, 2022, early career researchers presented cutting-edge analysis and policy solutions to tackle these challenges. This digests highlights important moments of this conference.

Making sense of corporate climate disclosures

Julia Bingler (CEP) has chosen the latest research aiming to improve corporate disclosures on their exposure to transition risks. Climate disclosures, she argues, can be a potent signal to investors only if they are available, understandable and properly processed.

Likely emissions pathways in the 21st century

Frances Moore (UC Davis) has selected recent research that attempts to estimate the likelihood of different greenhouse gas emission pathways. Such estimates must take the socio-political-technical processes that influence emission pathways into account.

Heterogeneous expectations and climate change

Francesca Diluiso (Bank of England) has selected some recent research on how to incorporate heterogeneous expectations in models that evaluate effects of climate policies on the macroeconomy.

Locating the financial impacts from stranded fossil-fuel assets

Gregor Semieniuk (UMass Amherst) has selected the latest literature on how can we determine who will incur the ultimate financial impact from stranded fossil-fuel assets.

Modelling uncertainty in climate economics

Loïc Berger (Researcher at the CNRS and Professor of Economics at IÉSEG School of Management) highlights research on incorporating uncertainty in analytical models for the purpose of making quantitative assessments of alternative policies.
