This paper examines the role of business interruption insurance in business recovery following the Christchurch earthquake in 2011 in the short and medium term. In the short-term analysis, it asks whether insurance increases the likelihood of business survival in the aftermath of a disaster.
The paper implements a novel way to aggregate the separate measures of disaster impact - the number of fatalities, of injuries, of people otherwise affected, and the financial damage that natural disasters cause.
