About
This collection of economic and geographic statistics quantifies the effect of severe natural events on regional labour markets. It provides a detailed view of economic disruptions by correlating specific disaster data with country-level economic indicators, such as GDP growth rates and wages growth rates. The dataset also includes critical sector-specific measurements for industries like agriculture and manufacturing, allowing for granular analysis of economic resilience following a shock event.
