Abstract
With climate change as prototype example, this paper analyzes the implications of structural uncertainty for the economics of low- probability, high-impact catastrophes. Even when updated by Bayesian learning, uncertain structural parameters induce a critical tail fattening of posterior-predictive distributions. Such fattened tails have strong im- plications for situations, like climate change, where a catastrophe is theoretically possible...
