The Impact of Climate Change on Global Tropical Storm Damages

The Impact of Climate Change on Global Tropical Storm Damages

This paper constructs an integrated assessment model of tropical cyclones in order to quantify the impact that climate change may have on tropical cyclone damages in countries around the world. The paper relies on a tropical cyclone generator in ea...
