Última Assessing the Consequences of Natural Disasters on Production Networks: A Disaggregated Approach AgEcon Henriet, Fanny; Hallegatte, Stephane. This article proposes a framework to investigate the consequences of natural disasters. This framework is based on the disaggregation of Input-Output tables at the business level, through the representation of the regional economy as a network of production units. This framework accounts for (i) limits in business production capacity; (ii) forward propagations through input shortages; and (iii) backward propagations through decreases in demand. Adaptive behaviors are included, with the possibility for businesses to replace failed suppliers, entailing changes in the network structure. This framework suggests that disaster costs depend on the heterogeneity of losses and on the structure of the affected economic network. The model reproduces economic...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/46657 Determinants of Participation in a Catastrophe Insurance Programme: Empirical Evidence from a Developing Country AgEcon Akter, Sonia; Brouwer, Roy; Chowdhury, Saria; Aziz, Salina. The paper presents empirical evidence of the determinants of catastrophe insurance participation in one of the poorest and most disaster prone countries in the world. In a large-scale household survey carried out in 2006 we ask 3,000 residents in six different districts in Bangladesh facing various environmental risk exposure levels about their willingness to participate in a catastrophe insurance programme. Combining factors put forward in risk theory and economics, we estimate a model of insurance participation. We show that the household decision to participate in the insurance programme differs depending on both exogenous and endogenous risk exposure levels. As predicted by micro-economic theory, ability to pay, measured in terms of household income...

Ano: 2008 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/5984 Disaster Risk, Social Vulnerability and Economic Development AgEcon Ward, Patrick S.; Shively, Gerald E.. We examine the extent to which economic development reduces both a country's disaster risk and its social vulnerability to climate-related disasters. Global climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and various types of storms. Moreover, the effects of these extreme weather events are expected to be borne disproportionately in areas of the world already challenged by underdevelopment. We find that the ability of economic development to reduce disaster risk depends on a country's income level; additional income becomes less effective in reducing disaster risk as countries become wealthier. We find that, conditional on a disaster occurring, higher incomes generally reduce a...

Ano: 2011 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/102984 Do Natural Disasters Affect Trust/Trustworthiness? Evidence from the 2010 Chilean Earthquake AgEcon Fleming, David A.; Chong, Alberto E.; Bejarano, Hernan D.. A series of trust games were conducted in Chile to analyze whether the past 2010 earthquake affected trust and trustworthiness in rural communities. Results show that trust levels are invariant between villages affected by the earthquake and villages not affected by this shock (control group). However, we find statistical evidence that trustworthiness has diminished in areas affected by the earthquake. Results are relevant for policy regarding aid and recovery of communities affected by these types of disasters.

Ano: 2013 Food Security and Nutrition in Bangladesh: Progress and Determinants AgEcon Hossain, Mahabub; Naher, Firdousi; Shahabuddin, Quazi. For Bangladesh food security was synonymous with achieving self-sufficiency in rice production and stabilization in rice prices. The country has made good progress in increasing rice production through technological progress, facilitated by private sector investment in small scale irrigation. But, it is difficult to sustain the progress made in view of the growing pressure of population on scarce land resources. Domestic food grain production remains susceptible to floods and droughts thereby perpetuating the threat of major production shortfalls, inadequate food availability, and vulnerability from fluctuation in prices. The availability of other foods has not increased, and the progress in nutritional outcome has remained slow. Forty percent of the...

Ano: 2005 URL: http://purl.umn.edu/110131 Household Consumption and Natural Disasters: The Case of Hurricane Mitch in Nicaragua AgEcon van den Berg, Marrit; Burger, Kees. This paper analyses coping strategies and consumption reactions of rural households in Nicaragua to hurricane Mitch, which caused massive losses in especially the agricultural sector in 1998. A switching-regression model confirms theoretical considerations which indicate that responses to transitory incomes depend on wealth. Asset-poor households do and asset-rich households do not adjust their consumption to transitory income changes.

Ano: 2014 Natural Disasters in a Two-Sector Model of Endogenous Growth AgEcon Horii, Ryo; Ikefuji, Masako. This paper studies sustainability of economic growth considering the risk of natural disasters caused by pollution in an endogenous growth model with physical and human capital accumulation. It is shown that economic growth is sustainable only if the tax rate on the polluting input is increased over time and that the long-term rate of economic growth follows an inverted V-shaped curve relative to the growth rate of the environmental tax. The social welfare is maximized under a positive steady-state growth in which faster accumulation of human capital compensates the productivity loss due to declining use of the polluting input.
