Climatic hazards such as tropical cyclones pose multi-faceted threats to coastal tourism, inflicting physical damage to infrastructure, causing business interruption, and requiring the evacuation of tourists, not to mention the ensuing damage to the destination's image. Using the State of Florida, USA...
Tropical cyclones of all scales can have significant socio-economic impacts that affect not only local governments, but also an entire state or region. These impacts are well documented, and often include the damage caused by heavy precipitation. However, what is not well documented are the ...
influential tropical cycloneAdverse impacts and increasing economic losses from tropical cyclones (TCs) are a major focus in respect to the potential global warming of 1.5 °C or even 2.0 °C. Based on observed meteorological data and county‐scale loss records, loss‐inducing rainfall and wind ...
Third, we empirically showcase how to implement this approach by producing novel estimates of the impacts of tropical cyclones and climate change on economic outcomes and welfare in Vietnam. Our approach (i) matches the empirical literature's standard of causal identification by using plausibly ...
Despite assessing several climatic components from which economic impacts have recently been identified3,7,8, this assessment of aggregate climate damages should not be considered comprehensive. Important channels such as impacts from heatwaves31, sea-level rise36, tropical cyclones37 and tipping points...
Criterion 5: We do not consider studies assessing the ecological impacts of processes that interrupted mangrove restoration (i.e. impacts of tropical typhoons on restored mangroves). We followed PRISMA protocol for study selection and inclusion74(Supplementary Fig.1). The first search was performed ...
The short-term economic impact of tropical Cyclone Pam: an analysis using VIIRS nightlight satellite imagery Cyclones are relatively instantaneous shocks where arguably most of the important consequences take place in the first few weeks or months. In this article, we construct destruction proxies of ...
Important channels such as impacts from heatwaves31, sea-level rise36, tropical cyclones37 and tipping points38,39, as well as non-market damages such as those to ecosystems40 and human health41, are not considered in these estimates. Sea-level rise is unlikely to be feasibly incorporated ...

Note that Hsiang and Jina (2014) find much larger impacts of tropical cyclones on the future global economy by focusing on the consequences for long-term economic growth. Mortality effects have not been incorporated in the model for other climate damages. However, in the case of diseases, it ...
