Measurement of flood damage due to climate change by dynamic spatial computable general equilibrium model
Nakajima, Kazunori; Morisugi, Hisayoshi; Morisugi, Masafumi - 2014
To explain economic impacts of flood damage due to climate change over time in Japan, this study develops a dynamic spatial computable general equilibrium model, and measures flood damage costs through some numerical experiments. It is inferred that the frequency and the intensity of flood are...

The great North Sea flood of 1953, the Deltaworks and the spatial distribution of people
Husby, Trond Grytli; Groot, Henri L. F. de; Hofkes, … - 2013
Large shocks, such as natural disasters, are often found to have little or no effect on the equilibrium distribution of economic activity across space. Two apparently competing theoretical explanations for this phenomenon are the increasing returns theory and the locational fundamentals theory....

Natural disasters, growth and institutions : a tale of two earthquakes
Barone, Guglielmo; Mocetti, Sauro - 2013
We examine the impact of natural disasters on economic growth by applying a synthetic control approach. In contrast to previous literature, we adopt a within-country perspective, which allows us to use richer and more comparable data and to better define the geographic area hit by the disaster....

Natural disaster, migration, and regional development
Ikazaki, Daisuke - 2015
As described in this paper, a simple matching theory is constructed to ascertain how natural disasters affect regional economic activities and migration. Section 2 introduces a simple matching theory model based on previous studies. This theory explains how the unemployment rate, a measure of...

Coordinating to avoid the catastrophe
Bühl, Vitus; Schmidt, Robert C. - 2020
In the presence of a tipping point for dangerous climate damages, the cooperation problem of climate protection can be transformed into a coordination problem that is much easier to deal with (Barrett, 2013). This holds in particular if the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that triggers the...

NatCats and insurance in a developing economy : new theoretical and empirical evidence
Hott, Christian; Xuyen Thi Tran - 2020
Our paper analyses the effect of natural catastrophes on insurance demand in a developing economy and the specific role of insurance regulation in this relationship. We base our analysis on a theoretical model as well as a panel regression using household survey level data for Vietnam and...
