摘要：
In this study, we addressed impacts of natural disasters on economic status in coastal and disaster-prone areas within the context of previous theoretical and empirical literature. Our spatio-temporal model accounted for nonlinear causality and spatial heterogeneity in assessment of unexpected disaster events employing a Matérn covariance structure, an empirical variogram, kriging, spatial regression, and spatial-temporal model. Empirically, we developed this model to estimate the natural disaster risk using county-level data in the U.S. State of Florida. Despite high prediction errors, empirical results suggest that both Atlantic and Gulf Coast counties experienced significant negative economic impacts of natural disasters.
