• What do exogenous shocks tell us about growth theories (2007, background): “Panel estimation methods, on the other hand, offer ways to control for unobservable time-invariant effects and hence give more reliable estimates.”
• 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).”
• The Costs to Developing Countries of Adapting to Climate Change. New Methods and Estimates. (2010, background): “Several studies have focused on the effect of rising income per capita: as communities get richer, they have greater willingness and ability to pay for preventive measures (Horwich 2000; Tol and Leek 1999 Burton and others 1993; Kahn 2005).”
• The economics of natural disasters in a developing country: The case of Vietnam (2010, background): “Much of the literature calls these dynamics ‘creative destruction;’ but this concept deviates significantly from the Schumpeterian concept (see Schumpeter, 2008). In fact, a more accurate term for the Schumpeterian dynamics of innovation that destroys obsolete firms would be ‘destructive creation.’ ”
• Economic Resilience to Disasters (2009, background): “Another insight into resilience in the face of disasters comes from the work of Horwich (1995).”
• The power of people: social capital’s role in recovery from the 1995 Kobe earthquake (2011, unknown): “However, population growth serves as a more realistic proxy for recovery following disaster as it demonstrates whether or not survivors and newcomers are repopulating what may otherwise be a ‘‘ghost town.’’ ( Horwich 2000: 523).”
• The economic growth impact of natural disasters in developing countries: Evidence from hurricane strikes in the Central American and Caribbean regions (2012, background): “replacement capital and disaster-related rescue, [and] relief and clean-up activity” ( Horwich, 2000, p. 524 ).”
• The macroeconomic consequences of disasters (2009, background): “The second existing strand examines specific case studies – disaster events – such as the devastating hurricane Mitch in Honduras, and estimates some of the specific costs and consequences of those individual events (e.g., Benson and Clay, 2004; Halliday, 2006; Horwich, 2000; Narayan, 2001; Selcuk a”
