Natural disasters cause great havoc in the short term, but may also have long-lasting economic effects through capital destruction, precautionary savings, and exclusion of production options. Empirical analyses of the economic impact of natural disasters are still rare because data have become widely available only recently. The current project will expand on this literature with a focus on business cycles, coping mechanisms and micro-data. The exact details, both conceptually and geographically, will depend on data availability and the preferences of the successful candidate.
