SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Anticipating Climate Change Across the United States\, with E. Rossi-Hansberg
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab’s Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. 	Speaker: Adrien Bilal – Harvard University 	 	Register: https://harvard.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ORfldxS0QwaTky5BhjVUsw 	Website: https://sites.google.com/site/adrienbilal/ Paper: NBER Working Paper 31323 -https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w31323/w31323.pdf 	Abstract: We evaluate how anticipation and adaptation shape the aggregate and local costs of climate change. We develop a dynamic spatial model of the U.S. economy and its 3\,143 counties that features costly forward-looking migration and capital investment decisions. Recent methodological advances that leverage the ‘Master Equation’ representation of the economy make the model tractable. We estimate the county-level impact of severe storms and heat waves over the 20th century on local income\, population\, and investment. 	The estimated impact of storms matches that of capital depreciation shocks in the model\, while heat waves resemble combined amenity and productivity shocks. We then estimate migration and investment elasticities\, as well as the structural damage functions\, by matching these reduced-form results in our framework. Our findings show\, first\, that the impact of climate on capital depreciation magnifies the U.S. aggregate welfare costs of climate change twofold to nearly 5% in 2023 under a business-as-usual warming scenario. 	Second\, anticipation of future climate damages amplifies climate-induced worker and investment mobility\, as workers and capitalists foresee the slow build-up of climate change. Third\, migration reduces substantially the spatial variance in the welfare impact of climate change. Although both anticipation and migration are important for local impacts\, their effect on aggregate U.S. losses from climate change is small. 	Speaker Bio: Adrien Bilal is a macroeconomist with interests in labor and spatial economics. Adrien received his PhD in Economics from Princeton University. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Economics at the department of Economics at Harvard University and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Becker-Friedman Institute at the University of Chicago.
