abstract: 'This paper uses longitudinal data from Current Population Surveys
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
conducted between 2004 and 2006 to estimate the net impact of Hurricane
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Katrina-related evacuation on various indicators of well-being. While
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
evacuees who have returned to the affected region show evidence of
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
returning to normalcy in terms of labor supply and earnings, those who
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
persisted in other locations exhibit large and persistent gaps, even
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
relative to the poor outcomes of individuals destined to become evacuees
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
observed prior to Katrina. Evacuee outcomes are not demonstrably better
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
in destination communities with lower initial unemployment or higher
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
growth rates. The impact of evacuation on total income was blunted to
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
some extent by government transfer payments and by self-employment
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
activities. Overall, there is little evidence to support the notion that
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
poor underemployed residents of the New Orleans area were disadvantaged
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
by their location in a relatively depressed region.'
