Small Regions, Large Floods: Local Economic Effects of Coastal Flooding in Europe 1: Joint Research Center, European Commission, Seville, Spain; 2: London School of Economics, United Kingdom This study quantifies the long-term economic impacts of coastal floods across Europe using a high-resolution open-economy Solow model. The framework considers capital and labor mobility across more than a thousand regions. The economic model integrates natural science bottom-up projections of direct economic damages of coastal flooding as exogenous shocks. Results show that coastal regions face substantial and increasingly uneven economic losses as global warming intensifies. Under moderate warming, expected losses remain modest but already affect tens of millions of people; under high warming, impacts increase non-linearly for affected coastal regions, with some coastal regions exposed to consumption losses exceeding 10 percent by the end of the century. The implications for inland regions are naturally much smaller, with some realizing small gains through new investment opportunities, partially offsetting coastal losses at the aggregate level. | |
