All Climate Events

Monday, February, 18, 2019. 4:30 PM. Valuing the Climate: Recent Advances and Challenges. Solomon Hsiang, Chancellor's Associate Professor of Public Policy at the University of California-Berkeley. More information here.

Hsiang, a past postdoctoral research fellow in Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, will discuss recent policy efforts to manage the climate like a capital asset by measuring the costs and benefits of climate — including hurricanes, weather variations and volcanic eruptions — on society. The integration of econometric methods and climate science have generated new insights and questions that may be extended to valuating non-climate resources.
