The Resilience of FDI to Natural Disasters through Industrial Linkages

Kato, Hayato; Okubo, Toshihiro - 2021

When do multinationals show resilience during natural disasters? To answer this, we develop a simple model in which multinationals and local firms in the host country are interacted through input-output linkages. When natural disasters seriously hit local firms and thus increase the cost of...

Keeping our heads above water : spatially heterogeneous social vulnerabilities and climate adaptation

Ceolotto, Stefano; Farrell, Niall - 2024

Climate change is among the biggest challenges of our time. Climate impacts and socioeconomic vulnerability are spatially heterogeneous. Hence, adaptation policies are more effective when designed at lower administrative levels. However, spatially-detailed social vulnerability profiles are often...
