My talk, “Modeling Climate Damage on Capital: Reconstruction Dynamics and Investment Allocation in Growth Models” (with Franziska Piontek, Jiarui Zhong, and Johannes Koch), was part of the parallel session on measuring climate damages. The work uses the MINDCET growth model to represent climate damage as the destruction of capital rather than a direct loss of output, showing that the capital channel is a structural source of persistence whose severity depends on reconstruction capacity, the sector affected, and regional economic structure.</p> Part 3: Aftermath and Lessons for Semi-Peripheral Development 2025-11-25T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/blog/baring-crisis/part-3/ <h2 id="the-long-depression-of-the-1890s">The Long Depression of the 1890s</h2> Part 2: The Crisis Unfolds 2025-11-25T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/blog/baring-crisis/part-2/ <h2 id="the-suspension-of-convertibility">The Suspension of Convertibility</h2> Part 1: Historical Context of Argentina's Financial Integration 2025-11-25T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/blog/baring-crisis/part-1/ <h2 id="the-global-economic-order-of-the-late-nineteenth-century">The Global Economic Order of the Late Nineteenth Century</h2> The Baring Crisis of 1890: A Semi-Periphery Financial Crisis 2025-11-25T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/blog/baring-crisis/ <h2 id="introduction">Introduction</h2> Website Redesign Launched 2025-11-14T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/news/en/2025-11-website-launch/ <p>I am pleased to announce the launch of a redesigned version of my academic website. Built using Jekyll with the al-folio theme, this new version features improved navigation, multilingual support (English, French, Chinese), and better organization of research publications, teaching materials, and technical notes. The website is being progressively developed with new content and features.</p> IAMC Conference: Poster on Climate Damage to Capital 2025-10-29T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/news/en/2025-10-iamc-poster/ <p>I will present a poster at the IAMC (Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium) 2025 Conference on climate damage to capital. The research, conducted at PIK, examines how climate impacts affect capital accumulation and economic growth through integrated assessment models.</p> Started Position at PIK Potsdam 2025-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/news/en/2025-01-pik-position/ <p>I am excited to announce that I have joined the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Research Department Transformation Pathways. My work focuses on examining the links between physical and financial risks of climate change through integrated assessment models, with particular emphasis on climate damages, adaptation costs, and effects on capital markets in developing nations.</p> WPD R Package Released 2024-11-01T00:00:00+00:00 https://benjaminpeeters.com/news/en/2024-11-wpd-package/ <p>I released the WPD (World Panel Data) R package, which provides easy access to comprehensive panel data for over 200 countries since 1960.
