This paper develops a methodology for the estimation of total economic consequences seaport disruption, factoring in major types resilience. The foundation is combination demand-driven and supply-driven input–output analyses. Resilience included through series ad hoc adjustments based on various formal models expert judgment. Moreover, we have designed manner that overcomes shortcomings approach. We apply to 90-day disruption at twin seaports Beaumont Port Arthur, Texas, which port area...
Using the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) computable general equilibrium model, we analyze economic impacts of grain export disruptions caused by Russia-Ukraine War during first year hostilities. The simulation results indicate that these not only affect Ukraine and Russia but also generate significant across other world regions. is projected to experience largest impact on its own economy, with a real GDP loss $859 million. In contrast, Russia's decline $3.8 million, primarily due much...
Pandemic influenza represents a serious threat not only to the population of United States, but also its economy. In this study, we analyze total economic consequences potential outbreaks in States for four cases based on distinctions between disease severity and presence/absence vaccinations. The analysis is data parameters obtained from Centers Disease Control general literature. A state-of-the-art impact modeling approach, computable equilibrium, applied wide range impacts stemming...
We present a formal analysis of the macroeconomic impacts COVID-19 pandemic in U.S., China and rest world. Given uncertainty regarding severity time-path infections related conditions, we examine three scenarios, ranging from relatively moderate event to disaster. The study considers comprehensive list causal factors affecting impacts, including: mandatory closures gradual re-opening process; decline workforce due morbidity, mortality avoidance behavior; increased demand for health care;...
We estimate the macroeconomic impacts of mandatory business closures in U.S. and many other countries order to control spread COVID-19. The analysis is based on application a modified version GTAP model. simulate all or parts that had imposed them as 7 April for three-month six-month cases. For scenario, we 20.3% decline GDP an annual basis, $4.3 trillion. employment 22.4% closure represents 35.2 million workers period. If are extended six months because second wave, these negative would...
We aimed to test whether and how ChatGPT understood the epidemiological problems related fluoride intake could produce novel feasible hypotheses tackle challenges in research for disorders caused by a deficient or excessive intake. designed set of questions evaluate knowledge version 4o on Three evaluators then reviewed these answers. requested ChatGPT4o eight insufficient These were evaluated independently three evaluators. Finally, summaries made through group discussions among all...
We partnered with a utility in the U.S. state of Illinois to develop and pilot an approach estimate economic impacts widespread, long duration (WLD) power interruptions. surveyed their customers about hypothetical blackouts, identifying classifying mitigating/resilience behaviors quantifying costs benefits. Survey results are scaled up broader regional economy, used drive computational general equilibrium (CGE) simulation effects interruptions attendant customer responses (e.g., relocation,...
The economic consequences of a tsunami scenario for Southern California are estimated using computable general equilibrium analysis. economy is modeled as set interconnected supply chains interacting through markets but with explicit constraints stemming from property damage and business downtime. Economic impacts measured by the reduction Gross Domestic Product California, Rest U.S. economies. For total represent (essentially quantity price multiplier) effects lost production in industries...
Models to estimate economic impacts of disasters have recently been augmented include resilience. However, most research has incorporated only a limited set resilience tactics and not estimated their individual loss reduction effect. We present comprehensive framework for estimating the relative effects broad post-disaster tactics. Our methodological innovation is illustrated by adapting TERM multi-regional CGE model seaport disruption, distinguishing inherent working through price system...
For the ShakeOut Earthquake Scenario, we estimate $68 billion in direct and indirect business interruption (BI) $11 related costs addition to $113 property damage an eight-county Southern California region. The modeled conduits of shock economy are lifeline service outages that affect economy's ability produce. Property from fire is 50% greater than shaking because more devastating. BI water disruption each represent around one-third total losses long duration outage or restoration...
While most of the attention to COVID-19 is being focused on physical transmission virus across country borders, there also an analogous spatial economic impacts through international trade and global supply chains. This paper presents analysis extent which shocks mandatory closures mitigate pandemic ripple world economy. We utilize a state-of-the-art computable general equilibrium (CGE) model analyze these interconnections trade. compare estimates US GDP in isolation then examine taking into...
Energy conservation is a long-term strategic policy in China to support its economic and social development. This strategy important for saving resources, protecting the environment, ensuring secure supply of energy. However, energy often involves large amounts investment may also have dampening impacts on some local regional economies. Moreover, has many features public good. Therefore, government will play strong role foster efforts interregional cooperation this issue. paper analyzes...
