- 요약This dissertation examines the interplay between climate risk management policies, specifically flood insurance pricing, and their impacts on flood mitigation efforts and housing markets.The first essay delves into the effectiveness of financial incentives offered by the Community Rating System (CRS) for flood risk mitigation and the unexpected negative effects of increased flood insurance premiums. It finds that a significant proportion of communities eligible for net benefits from CRS participation opt out, highlighting the ineffectiveness of financial incentives in promoting flood mitigation. Moreover, it reveals that higher insurance premiums discourage policy adoption, thereby reducing municipal incentives for implementing flood mitigation strategies. This illustrates a misalignment of incentives between city governments and flood insurance policyholders, suggesting that higher premiums could inadvertently lower mitigation efforts.The second essay investigates the implications of rising flood insurance costs, driven by climate change, on the real estate market. It studies how the cost of hedging disaster risk changes home prices by using a 2012 law that mandated flood insurance premium increases for properties discontinuously around flood zone boundaries and based on the timing of construction. With a triple-difference approach, it finds that homes that experience the largest increase in premiums experience the largest decline in home values. Evidence suggests that the effect is partly driven by increases in perceived risks triggered by increases in premiums. While the effect on home prices is unrelated to current hazard risk, the estimate is three times larger for homes that are exposed to long-term sea level rise than those not exposed, suggesting that insurance pricing can accelerate the incorporation of climate risk in asset markets.Together, these essays contribute valuable insights into the complexities of incentivizing flood risk mitigation and the broader economic effects of climate change on insurance and property markets. They underscore the need for carefully designed policies that align the incentives of homeowners, governments, and insurers to effectively manage and mitigate the risks of climate-induced disasters.
