Virtual Lecture: Climate Policy, Financial Frictions, and Transition Risk

Who
Garth Heutel (Georgia State University)
Where
via Zoom

Using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model featuring both a pollution market failure and a market failure in the financial sector, we explore transition risk – whether ambitious climate policy can lead to macroeconomic instability.
