Abstract: | This paper employs a growth model with public infrastructure, which is included in both utility and production functions, and investigates the importance of a victim-oriented recovery policy after major natural disasters such as the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. More concretely, the role of deep parameters in the recovery process is closely examined. Through the analysis, we find that the magnitude of public concerns about infrastructure and the magnitude of the intertemporal elasticity of substitution substantially affect the progress of recovery. In terms of economic recovery in general, production activities tend to be emphasized, but our results imply that one should not disregard victim-oriented recovery. |
