Carolyn Kousky
Carolyn Kousky’s research focuses on natural resource management, decision making during uncertainty, and individual and societal responses to natural disaster risk. She has examined how individuals learn about extreme event risk, the demand for natural disaster insurance, and policy responses to potential changes in extreme events with climate change. She is also interested in ecosystem services policy, the design of incentive-based mechanisms to supply ecosystem services, and the use of natural capital to reduce vulnerability to weather-related disasters.
