abstract="We propose that natural disasters discourage economic development in the short-run by inhibiting entrepreneurship start-up activity, which is largely responsible for job creation and growth. Our findings indicate that natural disaster events decrease start-up activity in the short-run (i.e., 1-2 years) but have no effect beyond that term. Furthermore, this relationship is driven by climatic natural disasters in low and middle-income countries and geologic disasters in high-income countries.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
