“…9 The data are collected using self-administered paper questionnaires, which are hand delivered to and picked up from the houses of participating households. 10 The surveys are conducted in January and February each year. Since the Earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011, the data before the Earthquake are from the 2011 survey and the data after the Earthquake are from the 2012 survey for short-term analysis.…”

We investigate whether individuals' risk preferences change after experiencing a natural disaster, specifically, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. Exploiting the panels of nationally representative surveys on risk preferences, we find that men who experienced greater intensity of the earthquake became more risk tolerant a year after the Earthquake. Interestingly, the effects on men's risk preferences are persistent even five years after the Earthquake at almost the same magnitude as those shortly after the Earthquake. Furthermore, these men gamble more, which is consistent with the direction of changes in risk preferences. We find no such pattern for women. (JEL D12, D81, J16, Q54)

“…The literature on the economic consequences of violent conflicts at the micro level is not very extensive. Klapper et al (2013), Collier and Duponchel (2013) and Mishra and Ongena (2020) are among the few studying the impact of violent conflicts directly on firm outcomes. Collier and Duponchel (2013) propose that the loss of workers' skills is a possible channel through which firm performance is affected, while Mishra and Ongena (2020) document that interest rates increase following shelling incidents in Indian border areas.…”

We estimate dynamic treatment effects of violent political conflicts on firm decisions to purchase inventory. We analyze monthly purchase data of 431 clients of a multinational beverage firm in Mozambique, as well as annual survey data. Firms respond to increases in conflict by decreasing purchases of inventory by up to 15%. This effect is significantly more pronounced for smaller firms. Firms exposed to violent conflicts also show greater intention to expand to less violent locations. The eruption of violent conflicts have significant short-term economic impact for small firms however, these do not persist beyond 2 months.
