I wonder if anyone is working on the possibility of internalizing catastrophic risks into current economies? Or else: why wouldn’t it be useful?
After all, I think that debates on computing and internalizing carbon costs have made climate change policy a more tractable issue (and have helped foster an economic literature relevant for longtermism)… I have some hypothesis on why this wouldn’t apply to other major GCR and x-risks, but I wonder if someone has already written about it.
[Question] Is there any research on internalizing x-risks or global catastrophic risks into economies?
