Evaluating the myriad dimensions of how disasters can affect
economic activity and decision-making, this cutting-edge Handbook
presents a timely analysis of the conditions that reduce or
exacerbate disaster impacts. Addressing developments in research on
disaster economics, internationally recognized scholars explore the
role of both the private and public sectors in managing and
mitigating disasters. Chapters discuss important theoretical
considerations in the evaluation of the impacts of disasters on
economic activity, including the behavioral consequences, biases
and heuristics, and risk preferences. Delving deeper into disaster
economics, the Handbook then presents empirical methods and
applications used in modelling disaster impact evaluation, with
research focusing on impacts on economic growth, government fiscal
and social conditions, well-being, and migration. Informed by the
latest research on the economics of pandemics, the Handbook
concludes by presenting novel approaches to evaluating and
improving risk management, resilience, recovery and adaptability in
the face of disasters. A valuable resource for conducting research,
this Handbook will prove vital to students and scholars of
developmental and environmental economics. Providing a broad range
of guidance from disaster response experts, it will also prove
useful to practitioners and policymakers concerned with the
economics of disasters.
