Abstract: This study uses panel data for the 50 states of the U.S. plus the District of Columbia from 1998 to 2018 to examine pricing effects of climate change on housing and insurance markets. We apply the mean group estimator and separate short-run from long-run impacts. The results indicate long-run relationships between the housing/insurance market and climate change, although no significant impacts of climate change on these markets appear in the long-run. In the short-run, we find significant negative impacts of fire occurrences on housing prices and mortgage rates, and significant positive impacts of flooding on insurance markets. Further analysis of states exposed to severe climate risks indicates no short- or long-run impacts of climate change. Thus, while realtors and insurance providers may price some climate-risks into mortgage and insurance in the short-run, they do not in the long-run.
