| description |
Uninsured natural disasters can have
devastating effects on human welfare and economic growth,
particularly in developing countries where large segments of
the population are in poverty and government resources and
capacity to assist in relief, recovery, and reconstruction
are limited. Therefore there is interest in exploring how
these countries can design and implement disaster relief
financing and insurance programs. This paper discusses four
aspects of the microeconomics of disaster relief financing
and insurance programs that are important for the ex post
impact evaluation of such programs: (1) use of game setups
to analyze the private willingness-to-pay for disaster
protection through risk transfer or risk retention
instruments; (2) use of ex post analysis of existing
disaster relief financing and insurance schemes (such as
Mexico’s programs) to analyze the willingness to provide
political support to such schemes; (3) use of ex post
analysis of existing schemes to analyze not only ex post
coping with shock, but also the ex ante risk management
impact of disaster relief financing and insurance schemes,
with the expectation that the latter can have a large
effects on growth; and (4) use of mainly global data to do
ex post impact analysis of natural disasters and the
resilience-enhancing value of disaster relief financing and
insurance schemes (examples exist for the disaster-impact
relationship that can be extended to the role of disaster
relief financing and insurance in risk reduction, coping
with shock, and risk management). The paper proposes
concrete research projects to pursue the analysis of these
four dimensions of micro-level impacts of disaster relief
financing and insurance. |
