Climate-related natural disasters, economic growth, and armed civil conflict (2012, background): “21 Generally, it seems to be that richer and more developed countries experience less direct damages from natural disasters (Kahn 2005; Toya and Skidmore 2007; Kellenberg and Mobarak 2008).”
Understanding the adaptation deficit: why are poor countries more vulnerable to climate events than rich countries? (2013, methodology): “The insight is based partly on forward looking studies that assess the likely impact of future climate change (Tol 2002a, b, Parry et al. 2007) and partly on empirical evidence that looks at the impact of extrme climate events in the past (Kahn 2005, Noy 2009, Toya and Skidmore 2007).”
Economic development and losses due to natural disasters: The role of hazard exposure (2011, background): “…associatedwith natural disasters are larger the poorer a country is.2 This was first shownby Burton et al. (1993) and Tol and Leek (1999) for a sample of 20 nations and later confirmed in more comprehensive studies covering a large panel of countries by Kahn (2005) and Toya and Skidmore (2007).”
Climate change, adaptation and economic growth (2012, background): “More and better education can help people to understand, cope with and respond to changes in climatic conditions (Toya and Skidmore 2007).”
Does rising income increase or decrease damage risk from natural disasters (2008, background): “…allows a country to better manage and mitigate the risk from disasters has intuitive appeal, and recent empirical research using cross-sectional or panel macro data (e.g. UNDP, 2004; Anbarci et al., 2005; Kahn, 2005; Toya and Skidmore, 2007) report results that are broadly supportive of this logic.”
Diversification strategies and adaptation deficit: evidence from rural communities in Niger. (2018, background): “…rainfall, temperature, and other climatic parameters and that these modifications will probably lead to an increase in the incidence of environmental disasters (IPCC, 2012; Kahn, 2005; Parry, Rosenzweig, Iglesias, Livermore, & Fischer, 2004; Toya & Skidmore, 2007; Olsson et al., 2014 among others).”
How do governments respond after catastrophes ? natural-disaster shocks and the fiscal stance (2011, neutral): “31 UNEP (2005). Environmental Management and Disaster Reduction. Session Concept Paper, UNEP Thematic Session on Environmental Management and Disaster Reduction: Building a Multi-Stakeholder Partnership. World Conference on Disaster Reduction Uribe, M. and Yue, V. (2006). Country Spreads and Emergin”
Destruction, Disinvestment, and Death: Economic and Human Losses Following Environmental Disaster (2013, background): “…requires that we understand the full cost of disasters (Kunreuther et al. (2009); United Nations (2009)); if a sizeable portion of a disaster’s costs manifest after the event itself, then models of humanitarian intervention which focus on immediate damages may need to be reassessed or expanded.”
Unmitigated Disasters? New Evidence on the Macroeconomic Cost of Natural Catastrophes (2012, positive): “It is well documented that many more people are affected in disasters striking low- and middle-income countries; the number of fatalities generally declines with measures of development (Toya and Skidmore 2007, Strömberg 2007, Noy 2009, Loayza et al. 2009).”
Climatic natural disasters, political risk, and international trade (2010, background): “Higher income per capita and government effectiveness (Kahn, 2005; Strömberg, 2007), education attainment and trade openness (Skidmore and Toya, 2007), and government stability and better investment climate (Raschky, 2008) were found to reduce the impact.”
