Abstract (FR)
Cet article étudie l'effet des typhons sur les activités économiques au Vietnam. Au cours de la période couverte par notre analyse, 1992-2013, nous avons observé 63 typhons affectant différents endroits du pays à différents moments avec une intensité variable. En utilisant des mesures de luminosité nocturne provenant de l'observation satellitaire comme indicateur du niveau d'activité économique, nous étudions comment varie l'intensité lumineuse dans les endroits qui ont été affectés par les typhons. Les résultats suggèrent que les typhons ont en moyenne réduit l'intensité de la luminosité nocturne des localités touchées de 5 ± 5.8% ou 8 ± 7.8% en fonction des hypothèses de nos modèles.
Abstract (EN)
This paper investigates the effect of typhoons on economic activities in Vietnam. During the period covered by our analysis, 1992-2013, we observed 63 typhoons affecting different locations of the country in different years with varying intensity. Using measures of the intensity of nightlight from satellite imagery as a proxy for the level of economic activity, we study how the nighttime light brightness varies across locations that were variably affected by the tropical cyclones. The results suggest that typhoons have on average dimmed nighttime luminosity of the places hit by 5 ± 5.8% or 8 ± 7.8% depending on the specifications we made.
