The Distributional Incidence of Climate Adaptation: Evidence from Flood-Control Infrastructure
Single-authored · Presented at Monash, HKUST, Zhejiang University, and NOVA SBE
Research question: Who gains—and who pays—when flood-control infrastructure redistributes climate risk?
Key finding: Dams protect downstream production but generate concentrated upstream adaptation costs through inventories, insurance, and supply-chain exposure.
