It’s time to introduce the Center for Social Complexity of Climate Change (SC3 www.sc3.center). We work on climate change and how different agents interact in this context. Follow us to learn about the relationship between #ClimateChange and #Society and #Economy. This is the team ⬇️

What do older workers do when the value of their home falls?
For many, home equity is their biggest asset. When housing prices fall, most can’t work more to recover the loss. Instead, they claim Social Security earlier, which can reduce lifetime benefits. #EconSky #housing #socialsecurity
