Shedding light on the spatial diffusion of disasters
Felbermayr, Gabriel; Gröschl, Jasmin Katrin; Sanders, Mark - 2018
Climate research suggests that global warming will lead to more frequent and more extreme natural disasters. Most disasters are local events with effects on local economic activity. Hence, assessing their economic impacts with the help of econometric country-level analysis may lead to biased...

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...
