America's Climate Change Future – Session 1: Coastal properties and climate change
America's Climate Change Future: Housing Markets, Stranded Assets, and Entrenched Interests
Session 1: Coastal properties and climate change
Presider/discussant: Curt Spalding (Brown University)
Lint Barrage (Brown University), “Flood risks and coastal property values: going under water?”
Matthew Gibson (Williams College), "Climate change and flood risk: Evidence from New York real estate"
Stephie Fried (Arizona State University), “Seawalls and Stilts: A Quantitative Macro Study of Climate Adaptation”
The Rhodes Center for International Economics, the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society, and the Office of the President are pleased to announce a one day conference on the economic and political consequences of climate change. The conference focuses on three key areas. First, the economics of rising sea levels for real coastal estate markets, which comprise a large portion of US housing market growth and hence personal wealth. The economics of ‘stranded carbon assets.’ That is, the raw materials and financial assets tied up in carbon release that have a high current value but whose values could decline precipitously in the future, especially if ambitious action is undertaken as scientific consensus suggests is needed. The third is the organized politics of climate denial: who are the agents and institutions behind scientific disinformation and how can such a politics best be countered? A lunchtime keynote speech will be given by Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse. Lunch will be provided for participants.
