DESCRIPTION:How climate damages\, economic shocks\, and policy responses j
 ointly shape political dynamics remains poorly understood. In the seminar\
 , I present ongoing work on two topics.\nFirst\, I develop a political eco
 nomy model to study how political power\, uncertainty\, and technological 
 transition shape climate policy outcomes over time. Lobbying is most effec
 tive when policy costs are uncertain and credibility constraints are weak.
  The study provides a first step toward understanding why firms increasing
 ly align themselves with climate goals while continuing to obstruct or del
 ay specific policies.\nSecond\, I synthezise the recent wealth of empirica
 l contributions on political outcomes from damages and policy costs to ana
 lyse under which conditions climate impacts reinforce public acceptability
  of ambitious policy rather than catalyze opposition.
