Climate change, hurricanes, and sovereign debt in the Caribbean basin
Caribbean Islands are exposed to hurricanes, the damage from which is projected to intensify due to anthropogenic climate change. The Caribbean region is also highly indebted; and so we focus on the interaction between climate change, hurricanes, and public debt. We investigate what has been the increase in public debt following Caribbean hurricanes, and how has anthropogenic climate change shaped this increase. We show that for the ten most seve…
The Welfare Gains from Macro-Insurance Against Natural Disasters
Catastrophic Natural Disasters and Economic Growth
We examine the average causal impact of catastrophic natural disasters on economic growth by combining information from comparative case studies. For each country affected by a large disaster, we compute the counterfactual by constructing synthetic controls. We find that only extremely large disasters have a negative effect on output in both the short and the long runs. However, we also show that this results from two events where radical politic…
Natural Disasters and the Economy — A Survey
This paper surveys the state of the economic literature examining the aggregate impacts of natural disasters. The paper reviews the main disaster data sources available, discusses the determinants of the direct effects of disasters, and distinguishes between short- and long-run indirect effects. The paper then examines some of the relevant policy questions and follows up with a survey of current projections about the likelihood of future disaster…
Estimating the Direct Economic Damages of the Earthquake in Haiti
This article makes an initial assessment of the monetary damages caused by the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Damages are estimated for a disaster with both 200,000 and 250,000 total dead and missing, using Haiti's economic and demographic data. The base estimate is US$8.1bn, but for several reasons this may be a lower-bound estimate. While the results are subject to many caveats, including possibly high forecast error, the implications of such an est…
