Abstract
This study aims to estimate and evaluate the economic impacts of a catastrophic earthquake in regional and interregional contexts, emphasizing interregional commodity flows in conjunction with inter-industry relationships as well as the assessment of seismic damages on production facilities and transportation network. The analytical model employed is a multi-regional input-output commodity flow model. The economic impacts of a catastrophic earthquake are estimated and evaluated based on some hypothetical scenarios to analyze the magnitude and the extent of the direct and indirect impacts. As a possible extension, the model developed in this study can be utilized as tools for strategic management of the recovery and reconstruction efforts after the event.
