Learned a lot about how property insurance & mortgage markets are responding to climate risk from reading this awesome testimony by @SenIshita1 on her work with @parisastry. There are some (worrying) parallels with securitization in 2000s! budget.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
In states like Florida, homeowners have seen their insurance premiums double between 2020 and 2023. NOW: @SenIshita1 explains how climate change is leading to a proliferation of less reliable insurance providers, threatening homeowners and taxpayers alike.
Climate change is destabilizing insurance markets ➡️ making coverage less affordable and less accessible ➡️ threatening mortgage markets. LIVE: @SenateBudget holds a hearing to examine the economy-wide risks.
With trepidation, some thoughts on how to increase the number of women in economics grumpy-economist.com/p/modest-propo…
