Natural Disasters and Human Capital Accumulation
研究发现，自然灾害风险与中学入学率之间存在稳健的负相关关系，且这种关系主要由地质灾害驱动，解释了国家间教育水平的差异。
The empirical literature on the relationship between natural disaster risk and investment in education is inconclusive. Model averaging methods in a framework of crosscountry and panel regressions show an extremely robust negative partial correlation between secondary school enrollment and natural disaster risk. This result is driven exclusively by geologic disasters. Exposure to natural disaster risk is a robust determinant of differences in secondary school enrollment between countries but not necessarily within countries Natural disasters, human capital, education, school enrollment, Bayesian model averaging.
