Supply-Chain Economics & Disaster Recovery Funding Modeling Lab
Modeling the economics of disaster recovery funding and supply chain disruption to optimize resource mobilization.
Research Mission
The Supply-Chain Economics & Disaster Recovery Funding Modeling Lab applies economic analysis and financial modeling to disaster recovery funding mechanisms, humanitarian supply chain economics, and the macroeconomic impacts of large-scale disasters. The lab develops models that quantify disaster economic losses, assess the efficiency of recovery funding instruments, and optimize resource mobilization strategies — providing the economic intelligence needed to design effective disaster financing frameworks and recovery programs.
Key Research Functions
Economic Loss Modeling
Developing models that estimate direct and indirect economic losses from disasters — quantifying damage to physical assets, business interruption, and macroeconomic impacts to support damage assessments and recovery planning.
Funding Mechanism Design
Analyzing disaster recovery funding instruments — contingency funds, catastrophe bonds, parametric insurance, and donor financing — to assess their efficiency, speed, and adequacy in meeting recovery needs across different disaster scenarios.
Supply Chain Economics
Modeling the economics of humanitarian supply chains — analyzing cost drivers, procurement strategies, and logistics trade-offs to identify efficiency improvements that stretch limited humanitarian resources further.
