Economic analysis of illegal settlements in flood prone areas in Palangkaraya City in Indonesia : a general equilibrium modelling approach

Miyata, Yuzuru; Shibusawa, Hiroyuki; Permana, Indrawan - 2014

Since initially steaming from von Thünen's work (1826), bid-rent approach has been rigorously applied to analyze land use configuration. Alonso (1964), Muth (1969), Beckman (1973), Solow (1973), and Fujita (1989) are among the scientists who greatly contributed to forward von Thünen's theory...

Inundated by Change : The Effects of Land Use on Flood Damages

Howden, Wesley - 2022

Proper land-use policy can help mitigate damages from natural disasters. Management of such policy occurs at different geographic levels, with potential implications for optimal management given the level of aggregation. This study examines this by quantifying the effects of land-use change on...

Coping with increasing tides: technological change, agglomeration dynamics and climate hazards in an agent-based evolutionary model

Taberna, Alessandro; Filatova, Tatiana; Roventini, Andrea; … - 2021

that boost agglomeration forces and innovation, fostering further concentration of economic activities. For historic …-offs between agglomeration economies and increasing climate-induced hazards, we develop an evolutionary agent-based model with …-reinforcing and path-dependent agglomeration processes. We then introduce five scenarios considering flood hazards characterized by …

A dynamic rural-urban-natural environment interactive spatial model of Palangkaraya City in Indonesia

Miyata, Yuzuru; Shibusawa, Hiroyuki - 2014

Permana and Miyata (2009) showed a partial equilibrium urban economic model to explain the existence of illegal settlements in flood prone areas in Palangkaraya City in Central Kalimantan Province, introducing the expected damage rate on household asset. Applying this new idea, one can derive...

Expecting Floods : Firm Entry, Employment, and Aggregate Implications

Jia, Ruixue; Ma, Xiao; Xie, Victoria Wenxin - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

Flood events and flood risk have been increasing in the past few decades and have important consequences for the economy. Using county-level and ZIP-code-level data from the United States during 1998-2018, we document that (1) increased flood risk has a large negative impact on firm entry,...

Cities and the sea level

Lin, Yatang; McDermott, Thomas K. J.; Michaels, Guy - 2021

Construction on low elevation coastal zones is risky for both residents and taxpayers who bail them out, especially when sea levels are rising. We study this construction using spatially disaggregated data on the US Atlantic and Gulf coasts. We document nine stylized facts, including a sizeable...

Perilous Flood Risk Assessments

Weill, Joakim - 2022

Flooding is among the costliest natural disasters in the United States. Although the federal government provides floodplain boundary maps and subsidizes insurance, demand remains extremely low. This paper assembles the most comprehensive set of files ever compiled on flood risk and insurance to...

Using a High-Precision Flood Risk Assessment Tool to Understand Commercial Building and Market Impacts in the United States

Porter, Jeremy R. - 2022

Environmental changes are predicted to exacerbate changes in flood events, resulting in consequences for exposed systems. While the availability and quality of flood risk analyses are generally increasing, very little attention has been paid to flood impacts related to the commercial market....
