Adaptation to climate risk: Evidence from cyclones and flooding in Bangladesh

Project Active from 25 Mar 2024 to 31 Aug 2025 Sustainable Growth and Energy

This project examines how adaptation to climate change impacts economic outcomes by analysing data on flooding and cyclones in Bangladesh. It focuses on three adaptation strategies—crop choice, sectoral employment in agriculture and migration—and uses a structural model to assess the welfare costs if these adaptation channels are unavailable.
