Hurricane‐induced risk contagion in commercial real estate: Evidence from Hurricane Sandy

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines how hurricane‐induced destruction affects the prices of nearby undamaged commercial real estate properties, using Hurricane Sandy as a natural experiment. Using Real Capital Analytics transaction records spatially merged with Federal Emergency Management Agency building‐level damage data, we empirically employ a difference ...

Thresholding species distribution models: Simple approaches for land‐use planning in multifunctional landscapes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are often used to understand changes to species' distributions and their habitats under different land‐use scenarios, enabling decision makers to prioritize areas for management efforts and balance environmental conservation with socio‐economic demands on the landscape.

Development of Seismic Demand for Chang-Bin Offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan Strait

Energies, 2016
Taiwan is located on the Pacific seismic belt, and the soil conditions of Taiwan’s offshore wind farms are softer than those in Europe. To ensure safety and stability of the offshore wind turbine supporting structures, it is important to assess the ...

Sensitivity of Building Loss Estimates to Major Uncertain Variables [PDF]

, 2002
This paper examines the question of which sources of uncertainty most strongly affect the repair cost of a building in a future earthquake. Uncertainties examined here include spectral acceleration, ground-motion details, mass, damping, structural force ...

Electoral responses to economic crises

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract How do voters respond to economic crises: Do they turn against the incumbent, reward a certain political camp, polarize to the extremes, or perhaps continue to vote much like before? Analyzing extensive data on electorates, parties, and individuals in 24 countries for over half a century, we document a systematic pattern whereby economic ...

Statistical modeling of ground motion relations for seismic hazard analysis

, 2013
We introduce a new approach for ground motion relations (GMR) in the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA), being influenced by the extreme value theory of mathematical statistics. Therein, we understand a GMR as a random function.

Online Jump and Kink Detection in Segmented Linear Regression: Statistical Optimality Meets Computational Efficiency

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider the problem of sequential (online) estimation of a single change point in a piecewise linear regression model under a Gaussian setup. We demonstrate that certain CUSUM‐type statistics attain the minimax optimal rates for localizing the change point.
