Economists are not engaged enough with the IPCC

I. Noy

This paper by Ilan Noy delves into the striking underrepresentation of economists in the IPCC Assessment Reports, specifically in Working Group 2. It identifies both a supply and demand issue, shedding light on why economists aren't as involved in climate change discussions, and offers paths for future collaboration.

Abstract
This paper explores the underrepresentation of economists in the IPCC Assessment Reports (ARs), particularly in Working Group 2 (WGII). The author argues this is a dual problem: a supply issue (few economists focus on climate change) and a demand issue (the IPCC doesn't actively recruit economists). The paper examines the types of economic research and why they may not align with the IPCC's needs, and discusses potential paths toward increased collaboration.
