| Abstract |
This thesis contributes to understanding the economic consequences of climate change and environmental disasters. It does so from three perspectives. First, from the point of view of industrial organisations, it studies firms’ diversification incentives and the formation of supply chains in response to possibly correlated environmental shocks. Then, it takes a step back and examines the macroeconomic consequences of rapid and potentially irreversible climate shifts. Finally, it focuses on how different world regions can react to such rapid changes.
