The Post-Natural Disasters People Losses and Damage Simulator (Ḧ-Simulator)
Ruiz Estrada, Mario Arturo; Umemoto, Michitaka - 2019
In this paper, we introduce a new applicable tool to evaluate any post-natural disaster and its impact on people losses … and damage, the new applicable tool is entitled “the post-natural disaster people losses and damage simulator (Ḧ …-Simulator).” Subsequently, the Ḧ-Simulator works under the application of five indicators such as (i) the post-natural disaster people losses …

Natural disaster risk and the distributional dynamics of damages
Coronese, Matteo; Lamperti, Francesco; Chiaromonte, … - 2018
Literature on climate change and extreme events has found conflicting and often weak results on the evolution of economic damages related to natural disasters, although climate change is likely to bring about an increase in their magnitude (Van Aalst, 2006; IPCC, 2007, 2012). These studies usually...

Risk premia and the social cost of carbon : a review
Kousky, Carolyn; Kopp, Robert E.; Cooke, Roger - 2011
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions not only lowers expected damages from climate change but also reduces the risk of catastrophic impacts. However, estimates of the social cost of carbon, which measures the marginal value of carbon dioxide abatement, often do not capture this risk reduction...

Climate change, sea level rise, and coastal disasters : a review of modeling practices
Bosello, Francesco; De Cian, Enrica - 2013
The climate change impacts on sea level rise and coastal disasters, and the possible adaptation responses have been studied using very different approaches, such as very detailed site-specific engineering studies and global macroeconomic assessments of costal zones vulnerability. This paper...

Informing Climate Adaptation : A Review of the Economic Costs of Natural Disasters, Their Determinants, and Risk Reduction Options
Kousky, Carolyn - 2012
This paper reviews the empirical literature on the economic impacts of natural disasters to inform both climate adaptation policy and the estimation of potential climate damages. It covers papers that estimate the short- and long-run economic impacts of weather-related extreme events as well as...

The Climate Change and Natural Disasters Evaluation in China : Floods
Ruiz Estrada, Mario Arturo - 2014
Global climate change has a potentially large impact on economic growth but measuring their economic impact is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. The central objective of our paper is to set forth a model – the macroeconomics evaluation of climate change (MECC) model – to evaluate the...
