Risk and Adaptation: Evidence from Global Hurricane Damages and Fatalities (2016, result): “Unlike the previous literature that aggregates events to country-year averages (Kahn 2005; Noy 2009; Hsiang and Narita 2012; Neumayer et al. 2014), one major difference in our analysis is that our unit of observation is a single storm striking a country.”
Economic Vulnerability and Resilience to Natural Hazards: A Survey of Concepts and Measurements (2018, methodology): “Like Noy [60], he finds evidence of the negative (but small) consequences of the direct disaster impacts on capital stock to macroeconomic output, though his focus is on the medium-term and in the long-term (five years).”
Is Green Growth Good for the Poor? (2014, background): “Noy (2009) showed that higher GDP per capita and better institutional and human development indicators reduced losses from climate-related disasters.”
How do governments respond after catastrophes ? natural-disaster shocks and the fiscal stance (2011, neutral): “…disaster category the intensity is similar or averaged within the category.7 Starting from this variable, we also construct a different measure that not only counts the number of disasters but also takes into account the month of the year when a disaster occurs, in a manner similar to Noy (2009).”
The economic growth impact of natural disasters in developing countries: Evidence from hurricane strikes in the Central American and Caribbean regions (2012, background): “In contrast, Noy (2009) finds that natural disasters will typically cause a drop in output of 9 percentage points in developing countries.”
The Economics of Natural Disasters (2010, positive): “ The coexistence of these two dynamics explains why it is so difficult to “extract” the effect of natural disasters from macroeconomic data series (Strobl, 2008; Noy, 2009).”
Guest Editorial, part of a Special Feature on Education and Differential Vulnerability to Natural Disasters Is Education a Key to Reducing Vulnerability to Natural Disasters and hence Unavoidable Climate Change? (2014, background): “While richer households and countries generally suffer greater monetary losses, they are likely to recover more quickly than their poorer counterparts (Noy 2009, Cavallo and Noy 2010).”
Informing Climate Adaptation: A Review of the Economic Costs of Natural Disasters, Their Determinants, and Risk Reduction Options (2012, neutral): “Developing countries appear to be harder hit by disasters (Noy, 2009), a finding that will be echoed by the studies in Section 5.”
Natural disasters and labor markets (2017, background): “About 99% of people a↵ected by natural disasters over the period of 1970-2008 reside in the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America and the Caribbean or Africa, accounting only for 75% of the world population (Cavallo and Noy, 2009).”
Household income strategies and natural disasters: Dynamic livelihoods in rural Nicaragua (2010, background): “They therefore face much larger shocks to their economies after a disaster of a similar relative magnitude (Noy, 2009).”
The economics of natural disasters in a developing country: The case of Vietnam (2010, methodology): “Several papers investigate the institutional and structural determinants of initial disaster costs (Anbarci, Escaleras, & Register, 2005; Kahn, 2004; Raschky, 2008; Skidmore & Toya, 2007) or of the subsequent impact on the economy (Cavallo, Galiani, Noy, & Pantano, 2009; Noy, 2009).”
