Using multitemporal night-time lights satellite imagery, this paper explores the economic recovery from natural disasters. Hypotheses regarding the role of disaster recovery aid from other countries and pre-event insurance market penetration are developed and tested. While both aid and insurance are hypothesized to speed recovery and reduce the long-term effects of disasters, little empirical research currently exists to support this. Using the Swiss Re Sigma reports to identify disaster events globally, as well as reported insured losses to estimate insurance market penetration, lights data is used to estimate both short- and long-term economic impacts. A multi-variate difference-in-difference approach will be utilized.
