Our design was, therefore, able to effectively address the problem of recall bias in most studies conducted in post-disaster settings. A limitation is that selection bias might have arisen due to the 59% response rate to the baseline survey. However, this response rate is quite comparable to ...
Furthermore, regions that experience natural disasters tend to have a decrease in the birth rate following the disaster, which must be accounted for when assessing outcomes.27,28 Case-control studies prove difficult as composition of the control group must be carefully considered, and recruiting ...
In addition to these variables,Fomby et al. (2013)point out that the timing of the event is also an important characteristic. They find that negative impacts tend to occur immediately after the disaster, while positive impacts occur with some delay. Finally,Roth Tran and Wilson (2022)emphasize...
The natural disaster management market is projected to expand from USD 63.95 billion in 2024 to USD 114.04 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period. The increasing occurrence of hurricanes, floods, wildfires, and other extreme weather patterns, intensified by climate change...
Savings rateAgingNatural disasterEconomic growthPanel analysisOECDThere has been a long-standing debate over the development of savings rates in developed economies, and an emphasis has been placed on aging societies and a global savings glut. Meanwhile, with rising global temperatures and more ...
Where did the most costly natural disaster occur?Natural disasters are extreme, sudden catastrophes that are caused by natural processes by the earth. Different types of natural disasters include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. There are many consequences that occur as a ...
Why would the frequency of natural disasters be increasing? Increased human population = more humans expected to suffer from otherwise natural events. Humans are moving toward the coasts, areas most vulnerable to hazards. Additionally, our availability to communicate disaster news has increased especially...
The map and a report showed that parts of the central United States were facing a ground-shaking disaster equal to the famously unstable terrain(地形) of California.Some 7 million people lived in places easily attacked by these man-made quakes,and almost all the risk of increasing man-made ...
CCAPM framework and estimate risk aversion using state-level consumption data and state-level series of asset returns. In a first analytical approach, we separate the risk aversion parameter into two components, one of them varying by state and time as a function of the amount of disaster ...
Notes: %G – relative growth; GRD –growth rate dynamics. Nevertheless, when analysing growth rates after the disaster when compared with the previous trends, one can see clearer differences as, in case of HDI, the short-term impact becomes more significant but also the benefits in the long ...
