Shelter from the Storm : Which Safe Asset for Climate Disasters?
Lanfear, Matthew - 2020
Hurricanes give rise to flight-to-safety episodes during which High Tech stocks consistently behave differently from stocks in other industries. We isolate a safety premium of 3.75\% which peaks at 16% annualized for periods of 20 days after landfall. The safety premium is greater than the short...

Death caused by natural disasters : the role of ethnic heterogeneity
Yamamura, Eiji - 2011
Kahn (2005) found that ethnic heterogeneity reduces the number of deaths caused by natural disasters, a finding that is contrary to theoretical predictions. This paper casts doubt on this finding and uses cross-country data from 1965 to 2008 to conduct a re-estimation. To alleviate omitted...
