Abstract
|
Before
Located at the intersection of the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates, Pakistan is one
of the most seismically active countries in the world. This vulnerability is compounded by
the presence of over 7,253 glaciers, the largest number outside the polar regions, making
the country more prone to large scale flooding. In view of the country’s susceptibility to
natural disasters, it is important to understand firm’s existing adaptive capacity in order
to determine the optimal firm and government response.
Research Questions:
1. How did the firms adapt differentially after 2005 earthquake and 2010 and 2022 floods in Pakistan?
2. What drives the differences in adaptation responses across different catastrophes?
3. How do firms that have suffered more than one major shock adapt and respond?
4. How do multiple shocks change drivers of growth?
This is a follow-up to my earlier paper titled "From Disruption to Resilience: How Firms in Pakistan
Weather Natural Disasters"

4. How do multiple shocks change drivers of growth?
5. How do firms affected by a single and multiple disasters respond differentially to different recovery stimulus?
