Climate Economics and Finance

'This book by Stéphane Dees and Selin Ozyurt-Miller is an excellent overview of the state of knowledge on climate change economics, the importance of financing the climate transition, and the role of central banks. This is essential reading for scholars and policymakers. It is particularly useful for understanding how central banks are thinking about the climate transition and the potential impacts on central bank policy.' Warwick McKibbin, Australian National University, and The Peterson Institute for International Economics, Washington, DC 'This book provides an excellent and very comprehensive overview of the economic and financial consequences of climate change and the concepts, tools, and policies developed to address those consequences. It is a great source for policymakers, financial professionals, and academics who want to dig into the current policy debate.' Frank Smets, Bank for International Settlements 'In this new book, Stéphane Dees and Selin Ozyurt-Miller tackle an enormous – but vitally crucial – issue of how global climate change influences economics and finance, in an impressively comprehensive and yet understandable way. Without shying away from discussing the intricacies of statistical and economic models, the authors cover the implications of climate change, as well as the costs and benefits of the various means of addressing the challenges that have arisen. I'll certainly refer to this text when I teach my macroeconomics courses.' Menzie D. Chinn, University of Wisconsin–Madison
