Trust, Risk, and Time Preferences After a Natural Disaster: Experimental Evidence from Thailand (2017, background): “From 1980 to 2004, direct economic damage from natural disasters was estimated to be about $1 trillion, with over five billion people cumulatively affected (Stromberg, 2007).”
Determinants of International Emergency Aid - Humanitarian Need Only? (2009, background): “Closely related to this paper is also recent work by Eisensee and Strömberg (2007) on US disaster relief payments.”
Natural Disaster, Poverty, and Development: An Introduction (2017, background): “Many reports implicate climate change in the recent increase in hydro-meteorological natural disasters, such as cyclones, floods, and droughts (e.g., Cavallo & Noy, 2009; Kellenberg & Mobarak, 2011; Strömberg, 2007; World Bank, 2013).”
Natural disasters and labor markets (2017, background): “Despite the total number of natural disasters being roughly equal for high and low income countries, their impact in terms of fatalities has been found to be substantially higher in low income countries (Stromberg, 2007).”
Enterprise Recovery Following Natural Disasters (2010, neutral): “See, for example, the discussion in Strömberg (2007).”
Semi-parametric and Parametric Inference of Extreme Value Models for Rainfall Data (2010, background): “In the past twenty five years, five billion people were affected by natural disasters resulting in approximately $1 trillion in economic losses around the world (Stromberg 2007).”
Financing Flood Losses: A Discussion of the National Flood Insurance Program (2017, positive): “2008) and have affected the most people (Stromberg 2007).”
The impact of extreme weather events on budget balances (2009, neutral): “Nordhaus and Boyer (2000), Strömberg (2007) and Dayton-Johnson (2006) point out that the vulnerability to climate change varies among countries.”
Natural disasters' impact, factors of resilience and development: A meta-analysis of the macroeconomic literature (2014, background): “Table 9 and 11 presenting the less parsimonious specification exclude the studies by Strömberg (2007) and Tavares (2004) due to missing number and list of countries respectively.”
Multinationals' response to major disasters: how does subsidiary investment vary in response to the type of disaster and the quality of country governance? (2011, methodology): “We operationalized the severities of the disasters (i.e., natural disasters, technological disasters, and terrorist attacks) using the number of people killed because it is a common measure in research on disasters (Eisensee and Strömberg, 2007; Strömberg, 2007; Van der Vink et al., 2007).”
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).”
Climate Change and Adaptation in Global Supply-Chain Networks (2019, background): “We conjecture that our high-granularity heatwave and flood incidents data and the country-level 10See for example: Strömberg, 2007; Noy, 2009; Lesk, Rowhani, and Ramankutty, 2016 data from EM-DAT differ along two dimensions.”
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.”
Examining Flood Insurance Claims in the United States: Six Key Findings (2017, neutral): “Of all natural disasters, floods are the most costly (Miller, Muir-Wood, and Boissonnade, 2008) and have affected the most people (Stromberg, 2007).”
Rising Food Prices, Food Price Volatility, and Social Unrest (2015, positive): “The natural disaster data used to construct the IV come from the CRED EM-DAT database, which was used by Strömberg (2007) to study the relationship between natural disasters and economic development.”
