摘要

This paper examines the critical relationship between climate-related threats and credit securitization markets, with particular focus on emerging “blue lining” phenomena in hurricane-prone regions resulting from flexible market-based security charges. Our analysis demonstrates that current Federal Housing Finance Agency security charges inadequately incorporate climate risk exposures. Strategic fee adjustments could enhance risk management and promote climate adaptation while potentially exacerbating affordability challenges and altering home ownership distribution patterns, disproportionately impacting lower-income communities dependent on public assistance programs. The study advances the Climate Asset-Backed Financing Hypothesis (CSH), proposing increased naturally occurring disaster credit asset-backed financing through government-sponsored enterprises. Empirical findings underscore the necessity for innovative financial instruments including catastrophe bonds and insurance-linked securities to bolster market resilience and support climate adaptation initiatives. Future research directions include extending analytical frameworks using post-2020 disaster data encompassing Hurricanes Harvey, Ida, and Ian to validate machine learning extensions and improve climate risk generalizability.
