Multinationals' response to major disasters: how does subsidiary investment vary in response to the type of disaster and the quality of country governance? (2011, background): “New foreign investment may take place because firms expect to participate in large government recovery projects after disasters and because consumers are likely to demand new products and services as they return to their normal lives (Vigdor, 2008).”
Hurricane Iniki: measuring the long-term economic impact of a natural disaster using synthetic control (2011, background): “Several research projects examine the economics of specific natural disaster events – such as the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan (Horwich, 2000), the 2001 earthquake in El Salvador (Halliday, 2006), the 1999 earthquake in Turkey (Selcuk and Yeldan, 2001) and the 2005 Hurricane Katrina (Vigdor, 2008).”

Valuing Ecosystem Services for Coastal Wetland Protection and Restor ation : Progress and Challenges (2013, background): “As damage estimates for Hurricane Katrina and other storms indicate, the most important flooding impact caused by hurricane storm surges along many temperate coastlines is to residential property [40,43,45].”
Cash holdings and labor heterogeneity:the role of skilled labor (2017, unknown): “…caused by Hurricane Katrina, the declining economy in New Orleans, even pre-evacuation, and the uncertainty about the pace of recovery (e.g., Vigdor 2008), we assume that Houston-based firms might not have anticipated this significant reverse flow, which, therefore, should not have affected…”
