We show that climate tipping thresholds, disagreement about climate risks, and preferences that price in long-run risks are crucial to an understanding of the impact of climate change on asset prices. Our model simultaneously explains several findings that have been established in the empirical literature on climate finance: (i) news about climate change can be hedged in financial markets, (ii) the share of green investors has significantly increased over the past decade, (iii) investors require a positive, although small, climate risk premium for holding “brown” assets, and (iv) “green” stocks outperformed “brown” stocks in the period 2011–2021. The model can also explain why investments in mitigating climate change have been small in the past. Finally, the model predicts a strong, non-linear increase in the marginal gain from carbon-reducing investments as well as in the carbon premium if global temperatures continue to rise.This thesis also presents an adapted numerical solution approach based on projection methods and Gauss-Hermite quadrature to solve long-run risk asset-pricing models with disasters and heterogeneous agents, where closed-form solutions are unavailable. We demonstrate an effective approach for handling nonlinearities, such as a tipping threshold. The proposed approach demonstrates sufficient accuracy in solving the equilibrium conditions, making it computationally efficient even for models involving multiple states and agents.}, cin = {811110}, ddc = {330}, cid = {$I:(DE-82)811110_20140620$}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)11}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-2023-10094}, url = {https://publications.rwth-aachen.de/record/972304}, }
