The local impact of typhoons on economic activity in China: A view from outer space (2015, background): “For example, Strobl (2012) shows that tropical storms in the Central American and Caribbean region cause country growth rates to fall by 0.6 percentage points in the year of the strike.”
Climate change impacts in Latin America and the Caribbean and their implications for development (2017, background): “Tropical cyclones have important impacts in LAC such as an average 0.83 % drop in economic output after tropical cyclone strikes with large variations between countries (Strobl 2012).”
Understanding the adaptation deficit: why are poor countries more vulnerable to climate events than rich countries? (2013, background): “Other contributions are concerned with effect of disasters on economic growth (e.g. Noy 2009, Strobl 2010, 2011, McDermott et al. 2013) as opposed to explaining the severity of the disaster losses.”
Supply Chain Disruptions: Evidence from the Great East Japan Earthquake* (2016, methodology): “Our work is also related to papers such as Noy (2009), Raddatz (2009), and Strobl (2012), which study the macroeconomic effects of natural disasters.”
Economic Vulnerability and Resilience to Natural Hazards: A Survey of Concepts and Measurements (2018, background): “Some opt to directly use proxies for the hazards, such as wind-speed, or the magnitude of an earthquake [61,62].”
