商品描述

This book is a machine-generated literature overview that explores the theoretical and empirical aspects of economics of natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, droughts, and earthquakes from a policy perspective. It provides a comprehensive collection of economic theories in Disasters and empirical findings that would benefit scholars in academia and policy-making. On the theory side, there is a growing use of game theory, Input-Output, computable general equilibrium models, and Catastrophe models to analyze the economic impacts of natural disasters. These models provide optimal decisions for the government concerning disaster relief. On the empirical front, studies showing causal and associative relationships between disasters and socio-economic variables are important for estimating disaster-related losses and making appropriate policy suggestions.

The book explores different critical aspects and interlinkages of natural disasters; economic, social, and political. Besides having localized effects, disasters influence macroeconomic parameters, such as impacts on international trade and foreign direct investment. Moreover, the effects of disasters are subject to interventions from various national and international agencies. It discusses fiscal pressures caused due to disasters and existing policies related to disaster-risk mitigation and management as a guide to policy-making. It is an important guide to researchers and policymakers examining the socio-economic impact of natural disasters and public investment for disaster-risk mitigation.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書是一部機器生成的文獻綜述,從政策的角度探討自然災害(如洪水、颶風、乾旱和地震)的經濟理論和實證方面。它提供了一個全面的經濟理論與災害相關的實證研究的集合,將對學術界和政策制定者有所裨益。在理論方面,越來越多地使用博弈論、投入產出模型、可計算一般均衡模型和災難模型來分析自然災害的經濟影響。這些模型為政府提供了有關災害救助的最佳決策。在實證方面,顯示災害與社會經濟變數之間因果和關聯關係的研究對於估算災害相關損失和提出適當的政策建議至關重要。

本書探討了自然災害的不同關鍵方面及其相互聯繫,包括經濟、社會和政治。除了具有地方性影響外,災害還會影響宏觀經濟參數,例如對國際貿易和外國直接投資的影響。此外,災害的影響還受到各種國家和國際機構的干預。書中討論了由於災害造成的財政壓力以及與災害風險減緩和管理相關的現有政策,作為政策制定的指導。這是一本重要的指南,供研究人員和政策制定者檢視自然災害的社會經濟影響及公共投資在災害風險減緩中的作用。
