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.'
