Abstract:

The purpose of this report is to analyze, synthesize, and assess the extant literature on postdisaster economic recovery in the context of providing a background for policy development. For purposes of the study, the U.S. economy has been divided into two broad components--the physical infrastructure and the institutional infrastructure. The former is comprised of factors of production or, alternatively, all tangible resources used in production, while the latter encompasses the environment that facilitates and coordinates economic exchange.
