Fanny Henriet et al., « Firm-network characteristics and economic robustness to natural disasters », HAL-SHS : économie et finance, ID : 10.1016/j.jedc.2011.10.001
This article proposes a theoretical framework to investigate economic robustness to exogenous shocks such as natural disasters. It is based on a dynamic model that represents a regional economy as a network of production units through the disaggregation of sector-scale input-output tables. Results suggest that disaster-related output losses depend on direct losses heterogeneity and on the economic network structure. Two aggregate indexes - concentration and clustering - appear as important drivers of economic robustness, offering opportunities for robustness-enhancing strategies. Modern industrial organization seems to reduce short-term robustness in a trade-off against higher efficiency in normal times. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
