28. The Effect of Flood Exposure on Insurance Adoption Among US Households

Abstract

Abstract Despite increasing exposure to flooding and associated financial damages, estimates suggest more than two‐thirds of flood‐exposed properties are currently uninsured. This low adoption rate could undermine the climate resilience of communities and weaken the financial solvency of the United States National Flood Insurance Program. We study whether repeated exposure to flood events, especially the disaster‐scale floods that are expected to become more frequent in a warming climate, could spur insurance adoption. Using improved estimates of residential insurance take‐up in locations where such insurance is voluntary, and exploiting variation in the frequency and severity of flood events over time, we quantify how flood events impact local insurance demand. We find that a flood disaster declaration in a given year increases the take‐up rate of insurance by 7% in the following year, but that the effect diminishes in subsequent years and is gone after 5 years. This effect is more short‐lived in counties in inland states that do not border the Gulf and Atlantic coasts. We also find that the effect of a flood on take‐up is substantially larger if there was also a flood in the previous year, and that recent disasters are more salient for homeowners whose primary residences are exposed to a disaster declaration compared to non‐primary residences. Overall, these findings suggest that relying on households to self‐adapt to increasing flood risks in a changing climate is insufficient for closing the insurance protection gap.

34. In praise of cooking gas subsidies: transitional fuels to advance health and equity

Author

Abstract

Households that burn biomass in inefficient open fires—a practice that results in $1.6 trillion in global damages from health impacts and climate-altering emissions yearly—are often unable to access cleaner alternatives, like gas, which is widely available but unaffordable, or electricity, which is unattainable for many due to insufficient supply and reliability of electricity services. Governments are often reluctant to make gas affordable. We argue that condemnation of all fossil fuel subsidies is short-sighted and does not adequately consider subsidizing gas for cooking as a potential strategy to improve public health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
