• Normalizing economic loss from natural disasters: a global analysis (2010, background): “…the US and in the Central American and Caribbean region have been subject to various focussed studies (Pielke and Landsea 1998, Pielke et al. 2003, Nordhaus 2006, Pielke et al. 2008).17 We do not find a significant trend either in the United States (figure 7c) or in Central America and the…”
