Abstract

Natural disasters are more frequent and more violent than ever before, while at the same time, the economies of the world are completely interconnected in a global network. This study took both a random effects approach and a spatial lag and spatial error approach to understanding how Hurricane Irma has impacted employment in Florida counties. This study confirms previously found relationships between specific industries and post-disaster growth trends. Concluding, the study finds that displaced workers follow previously existing migration networks when finding new employment after a disaster.
