The impact of hurricanes and floods on domestic migration

Natural Disasters and the Demand for Health Insurance

“…Within this domain, our research aligns more closely with numerous Australian studies investigating the influence of various factors such as income, health status, and policy interventions on PHI enrolment (Cameron & Trivedi 1991;Stavrunova & Yerokhin 2014;Buchmueller et al 2021;Kettlewell & Zhang 2024). However, none of these prior 1 Our research also relates to studies on impacts of cyclone/hurricane/typhoon on other outcomes such as migration (Mahajan & Yang 2020;Sheldon & Zhan 2022;Nguyen & Mitrou 2024b), economic growth (Hsiang & Jina 2014), income (Deryugina et al 2018;Groen et al 2020) and health (Currie & Rossin-Slater 2013;Bakkensen & Mendelsohn 2016).…”

The global long-term effects of storm surge flooding on human settlements in coastal areas

“…The literature investigating how damaging storm surge events affect local populations itself is rather mixed. For instance, sometimes it has been found that people move away after a damaging event [19,20], while other studies have indicated that people prefer to stay and adapt or just move very nearby [17]. There are even findings that indicate that there is subsequent inward migration, in particular by poorer people [21,22], following such events.…”

“…Moreover, strong social and communal bonds [17] or a sufficient governmental support system [18] may deter affected individuals from moving, even after they have suffered considerable losses. Additionally, poor households sometimes do not have sufficient monetary means to move out of hazardous areas [19].…”

Residential Responses to Cyclones: New Evidence from Australia

“…Extensive research explores the social and economic consequences of these events, with a particular focus on the link between natural disasters and migration patterns (Cattaneo et al 2019;Kaczan & Orgill-Meyer 2020). Acknowledging the distinct nature and impacts of different disasters, a growing body of research investigates the specific relationship between cyclones and migration (Gröger & Zylberberg 2016;Sheldon & Zhan 2022).…”
