Economic Effects of Natural Disasters: Theoretical Foundations, Methods, and Tools explores the mechanism through which natural disasters affect sources of economic growth and development. Using theoretical econometrics and real-world data and drawing on advances in climate change economics, it shows scholars and researchers how to use various research methods and techniques to investigate and respond to natural disasters. No other book presents empirical frameworks for the evaluation of the quality of macroeconomic research practice with a focus on climate change and natural disasters. Because many of these subjects are so large that different regions of the world use significantly different approaches to them, Economic Effects of Natural Disasters strives to present a comprehensive global portrait of economic applications and evidence. Connects economic theories and empirical work in climate change to natural disaster researchShows how advances in climate change and natural disaster research can be implemented in micro- and macroeconomic simulation modelsAddresses structural changes in countries afflicted by climate change and natural disasters INDICE: 1. Evidence from developing countries 2. Impacts on environmental and socioeconomic systems 3. Impacts on the energy and the transport sectors 4. Impacts on financial development/markets
