Descripción
We study the impact of the 2007 Pisco, Peru earthquake, the larger registered since 1970. We define treatment and control groups within concentric circles, and use a diff-in-diff estimator using highly detailed georeferenced microdata from both national household surveys (2005-2015) and three unusually close censuses, in 2005, 2007, and 2013. Our findings show that, in the very short run, the main impacts are the destruction of physical infrastructure of housing and subjective wellbeing. Remarkably, we find that the destructive power of the quake was particularly severe on bad-quality houses, and that the recovery pattern was anti-poor and unequal.
Evaluamos el impacto del terremoto del 2007 en Pisco, Perú, el de mayor fuerza registrado desde 1970. Definimos a tratados y controles usando círculos concéntricos alrededor del epicentro y usamos el modelo de diff-in-diff usando datos de encuestas de hogares (2005-2015) y tres censos poblacionales que estuvieron inusualmente próximos (2005, 2007 y 2013). Nuestros resultados muestran que, en el corto plazo, los principales impactos destructivos se dieron en la calidad de las viviendas y en el bienestar subjetivo. Notablemente, encontramos que el impacto fue particularmente severo para las viviendas de peor material, y que la recuperación fue anti-pobre y desigualadora.
