The impact of a large-scale natural disaster on local economic activity : evidence from the 2003 Bam earthquake in Iran
Farzanegan, Mohammad Reza; Fischer, Sven - 2023
This study provides new causal evidence for the impact of a large-scale natural disaster on local economic activity in Iran using nighttime light intensity. We apply the synthetic control method (SCM) and nighttime light (NTL) data from 1992 to 2020 for 31 provinces and 429 counties to study the...
