Topic: Sensitivity Analysis of Macroeconomics Models on Climate Change


Date of Presentation: Wednesday, Nov 9, 2022


Location:  BSB 121 and Online


Abstract:

Climate change is now happening at a significantly faster rate than ever seen in the history of modern civilization which is caused by growing economic activity. However, Estimating the influence of climate change on the economy is a very complex task, as not only the economic system but also the climate model is very uncertain. As a result, there are many economics-climate models with different properties and uncertain variables. We will present a sensitivity analysis to be comparing and select those models, so it can help policymakers to select a better choice in order to make green policies.
