A Multiregional Impact Assessment Model for disaster analysis (2016, background): “…from direct and indirect losses, tangible and intangible losses (see Meyer et al., 2013 for an overview of existing literature), to short-term (e.g. Li et al., 2013; Hallegatte, 2014; Koks et al., 2015; Santos et al., 2014) and long-term losses (e.g. Skidmore and Toya, 2002; Coffman and Noy, 2012).”
From Poverty to Disaster and Back: a Review of the Literature (2020, methodology): “Using the same counterfactual methodology as Coffman and Noy (2012) and comparing across countries and decades, Cavallo et al. (2013) find that natural disasters do not have any significant effect on subsequent long-term economic growth.”
Synthetic Control Methods: Never Use All Pre-Intervention Outcomes Together With Covariates (2015, methodology): “…and Gardeazabal (2003), SCM were applied, i.a., by Nannicini and Billmeier (2011) as well as Billmeier and Nannicini (2013) (economic growth), Coffman and Noy (2012) as well as Cavallo et al. (2013) (natural disasters), Hinrichs (2012) (college affirmative action bans), Hosny (2012) (free…”
DISASTER IMPACT AND INPUT–OUTPUT ANALYSIS (2014, unknown): “…appear much greater than in developed countries.5 In contrast to the short-run impact estimation of an event or to the long-run trend analysis with cross-country data, Coffman and Noy (2011) measured the long-run economic impact of a hurricane based on the empirical data with econometric models.”
The Impact of Disasters on Inflation (2017, unknown): “Coffman and Noy (2012) use synthetic control methods to estimate a 12 percent drop in population on the island of Kauai in Hawaii, following Hurricane Iniki.”
