Economic activity during extreme events
Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.Abstract Although extreme weather events, natural disasters or infrastructure failures potentially have important economic effects, quantifying these effects over small areas and fine time intervals has been difficult because of the fairly coarse scales available in most data sources. This paper surveys the use of relatively new and finely grained data
