Global Earthquake Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles
Entry ID:
CIESIN_CHRR_NDH_EQUAKE_PELRD
Summary
Abstract:
Global Earthquake Proportional Economic Loss Risk Deciles is a 2.5 minute grid of earthquake hazard economic loss as proportions of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per analytical unit. Estimates of GDP at risk are based on regional economic loss rates derived from historical records of the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT). Loss rates are weighted by the hazard's frequency and distribution. The ...
 Purpose: To provide a spatial surface of the proportional economic impacts of global earthquake hazard.

Building upon a methodology pioneered by Sachs et al. (2003), a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) value (US$, 2000, purchase power parity adjusted (PPP)) is estimated for each grid cell. The process begins by determining the contribution of each subnational unit to national GDP using data of varied origin. The ratio of the subnational production estimate to the national GDP is the contribution ratio. ...
