Natural disasters and regional development : the case of earthquakes

Fabian, Marius; Lessmann, Christian; Sofke, Tim - 2019

We analyze the impact of earthquakes on nighttime lights at a sub-national level, i.e. on grids of different size. We … geophysical event data on earthquakes together with satellite nighttime lights. Using panel fixed effects regressions covering the … entire world for the period 1992-2013 we find that earthquakes reduce both light growth rates and light levels significantly …

Measuring the economic risk of COVID-19

Noy, Ilan; Nguyen Doan; Ferrarini, Benno; Park, Donghyun - 2020

We measure the economic risk of COVID-19 at a geo-spatially detailed resolution. In addition to data about the current prevalence of confirmed cases, we use data from 2014-2018 and a conceptual disaster risk model to compute measures for exposure, vulnerability, and resilience of the local...
