Solution
Hurricane may destroy an economy in a sense that it damages agricultural production, fish production, output, factory buildings, factors of production, etc. Monetary value of all such losses is economic loss.
The following assumptions are required:
1) Fish industries should be focused: Production should decrease at the time of hurricane, which must reflect in such industry data.
2) Net worth: Difference in net worth before and after gives the true picture of damage. Net worth should low after the hurricane.
3) Price change: Since goods are damaged, supply would be low in the short-run. It increases price, since there should be excess demand.
4) Effects on partners: Such partners may not able to do business with L, because they might be facing high price and low supply.
Only on option is not correct:
Holding as constant: Damages property is infrastructural loss; and there is loss of life too, which is the loss of labor factor. These can’t be held as constant. If this is done then that study is not effective for hurricane effects.
