The impact of ballooning insurance rates in certain areas is creating an increasingly risky market. The New York Times published an article using First Street data to examine the distortion of American insurance premiums. 📣 "The market is incentivizing all sorts of crazy behavior,” said Ishita Sen, a professor of finance at Harvard Business School. Link to full article: https://lnkd.in/gbDqDPgR First Street has been investigating the connection between insurance rates and climate change for some time, and so we have integrated insurance scenarios into our property-specific climate risk data. The research behind the article, incorporating climate risk data from First Street and other sources, was conducted by Ben Keys and Philip Mulder. 📄 Full study is available at NBER: https://lnkd.in/empMgk5a #climaterisk #insurance #NYT #NewYorkTimes #climatechange

Don't wait for financial losses to incorporate climate risk into your risk mitigation strategy. Turn climate risk data into a strategic advantage. The Office of Financial Research used First Street data to examine how banks are revising their risk mitigation strategies in response to climate change. The findings reveal that banks generally implement climate risk mitigation strategies only after incurring losses, and rarely do so in highly competitive regions, even when confronted with substantial risks. Link to report: https://lnkd.in/ghJTRNdA First Street physical climate risk data can assist banks in proactively addressing climate risk by providing property-specific exposure and damage impact reports to their whole portfolio. #ClimateRisk #ClimateChange #RiskMitigation #Banking #DataAnalysis #Banking
