Download or read book Small States Resilience to Natural Disasters and Climate Change Role for the IMF written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Small developing states are disproportionately vulnerable to natural disasters. On average, the annual cost of disasters for small states is nearly 2 percent of GDP—more than four times that for larger countries. This reflects a higher frequency of disasters, adjusted for land area, as well as greater vulnerability to severe disasters. About 9 percent of disasters in small states involve damage of more than 30 percent of GDP, compared to less than 1 percent for larger states. Greater exposure to disasters has important macroeconomic effects on small states, resulting in lower investment, lower GDP per capita, higher poverty, and a more volatile revenue base.

Download or read book Building Resilience to Natural Disasters An Application to Small Developing States written by Ricardo Marto and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We present a dynamic small open economy model to explore the macroeconomic impact of natural disasters. In addition to permanent damages to public and private capital, the disaster causes temporary losses of productivity, inefficiencies during the reconstruction process, and damages to the sovereign's creditworthiness. We use the model to study the debt sustainability concerns that arise from the need to rebuild public infrastructure over the medium term and analyze the feasibility of ex ante policies, such as building adaptation infrastructure and fiscal buffers, and contrast these policies with the post-disaster support provided by donors. Investing in resilient infrastructure may prove useful, in particular if it is viewed as complementary to standard infrastructure, because it raises the marginal product of private capital, crowding in private investment, while helping withstand the impact of the natural disaster. In an application to Vanuatu, we find that donors should provide an additional 50% of pre-cyclone GDP in grants to be spent over the following 15 years to ensure public debt remains sustainable following Cyclone Pam. Helping the government build resilience on the other hand, reduces the risk of debt distress and at lower cost for donors.
Download or read book Enhancing Macroeconomic Resilience to Natural Disasters and Climate Change in the Small States of the Pacific written by Ezequiel Cabezon and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural disasters and climate change are interrelated macro-critical issues affecting all Pacific small states to varying degrees. In addition to their devastating human costs, these events damage growth prospects and worsen countries’ fiscal positions. This is the first cross-country IMF study assessing the impact of natural disasters on growth in the Pacific islands as a group. A panel VAR analysis suggests that, for damage and losses equivalent to 1 percent of GDP, growth drops by 0.7 percentage point in the year of the disaster. We also find that, during 1980-2014, trend growth was 0.7 percentage point lower than it would have been without natural disasters. The paper also discusses a multi-pillar framework to enhance resilience to natural disasters at the national, regional, and multilateral levels and the importance of enhancing countries’ risk-management capacities. It highlights how this approach can provide a more strategic and less ad hoc framework for strengthening both ex ante and ex post resilience and what role the IMF can play.
Download or read book A Possible Approach to Fiscal Rules in Small Islands Incorporating Natural Disasters and Climate Change written by Ryota Nakatani and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A big challenge for the economic development of small island countries is dealing with external shocks. The Pacific Islands are vulnerable to natural disasters, climate change, commodity price changes, and uncertain donor grants. The question that arises is how should small developing countries formulate a fiscal policy to achieve economic stability and fiscal sustainability when prone to various shocks? We study how natural disasters affect long-term debt dynamics and propose fiscal policy rules that could help insulate the economy from such unexpected shocks. We propose fiscal rules to address these shocks and uncertainties using the example of Papua New Guinea. Our study finds the advantages of expenditure rules, especially a recurrent expenditure rule based on non-resource and non-grant revenue, interdependently determined by government debt and budget balance targets with expected disaster shocks. This paper contributes to the literature and policy dialogue by theoretically analyzing the impact of natural disasters on debt sustainability and proposing fiscal rules against natural disasters and climate changes. Our fiscal policy framework is practically applicable for many developing countries facing increasing frequency and impact of natural disasters and climate change. Our rules-based fiscal framework is crucial for sustainable and countercyclical macroeconomic policies to build resilience against devastating natural hazards.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Starting Your Own Nursery – Red Roses Planting Your Roses Food for your roses – Pruning Added Ingredients in what you buy… Making Traditional Rosewater – the Easy Way Infused Essential Oil Starting the Infusion Process Quick Kitchen Method: Infused oil rose creams and ointments Healthy Traditional Rose Jam Rose Petals to cure Stomach Ulcers Traditional Cooling Rose Sherbet Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction In our book series publications, you are going to get informational books about how you can manage your finances, start up your small businesses, and even earn from home along with other useful necessary business and financial management tips. These books are not restricted to millennials only, because I passed the age limit of millennials – 35, more than a decade ago, and you can call me belonging to generation Y. Nevertheless, these books are based upon my experiences and the experiences of my colleagues, friends, relatives, acquaintances and Legion of cohorts. Some of them are millennials, belonging to the generation Z, age group 18 to 35, some are of generation Y, 36 to 60, and some belong to Generation X above 60. They can also find plenty of practical information in these books, and say, “yes, she is right, the financial situation and economic conditions through which we have passed and, of which generation Z does not know anything about, has been a global phenomenon, and we went through it can empathize and understand.” And that is why I decided that at least a couple of my books were going to be based on one single natural product, on which you could build your own small business, without lots of initial investment. The place in which you would make your products based on this ingredient would be either your kitchen or in a nice small corner in your basement, which is well aired, well ventilated and well lighted. Who knows that like Estée Lauder and like grandma Brown, this would be the location for a multibillion-dollar industry 20 years down the line, and you would be known all over the world as the Rose Queen or the Rose King – no doubt that dread appellation would have been bestowed upon you by the cynical press just waiting out there to pounce upon successful people. So today, we are concentrating on one product, roses, of which, we are going to be using the plants, rose petals, their leaves, their hips to make a large number of products. These products have been in use it, throughout the centuries all over the world, so I had to do a little bit of research to get the original recipes for herbal healing jam made in Persia, since ancient times, and then spread all over the world. Rosewater - Made at home Along with this, you are going to learn about healthy lotions and potions, which are going to use Rose items as a base and other natural ingredients as carrier oils. Also, red roses – this book is going to use just one plant, red roses not being not white, because these are not power enough, nor do they have the healing qualities which one expects from a fresh rose or dried rose petals. Remember these books are to help you start up your small businesses, without investing thousands of dollars in seed funding and starting up your business initially. You just need to have that product, right at hand, and a ready supply of red rose
Download or read book Reptile Amphibian and Small Mammal Species Associated with Natural Gas Development in the Monongahela National Forest West Virginia written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burgeoning energy in the United States has led to increased natural gas exploration in the Appalachian Basin. Despite increasing natural gas development in the region, data about its impacts to wildlife are lacking. Our objective was to assess past and ongoing natural gas development impacts on reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals in the Monongahela National Forest in West Virginia. We sampled 40 gas well sites and compared amphibian, reptile, and small mammal captures among active producing, plugged (inactive), and storage well types. Total species richness and diversity were greater at storage gas well sites than at plugged wells. Although natural gas development adversely impacts moisture-sensitive woodland salamanders, our results suggest that maintained gas well openings may benefit other herpetofauna and small mammal species that use early successional habitat within predominately forested central Appalachian landscapes.

This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western drugs and target medicines for disease treatment come with undesirable side effects that have limited their use in patients for an extended period of time. It is warranted to develop a treatment strategy with alternative medicines to reduce toxicity relating to drugs, in particular, cancer drugs. Thus, a combination therapy with herbal medicines provides a more effective treatment method for hard-to-treat diseases. The recent breakthroughs in naturally occurring small molecules from herbal medicines have provided experimental evidence and are clinically significant in treatment strategies.This unique volume presents the recent developments in the field of herbal medicines for the treatment of diseases and cancer. Recent progress on small molecules isolated from herbal medicines that exhibit therapeutic benefits in humans is highlighted. The book provides an overview of the significant discoveries and pioneering contributions of herbal medicines in combination with other drugs; the author's evaluation of the combination therapy in cancer treatment; and a recent discovery of crocodile tissue extract with pharmacological properties.
