Abstract

A DiD analysis of the impact of Abruzzo earthquake on annual labor income. Our paper shows that the earthquake’s impact was particularly severe on annual labor income. Gender differences were not significant in our study and, if any, females suffered less in the short-run. The negative effect on income represents a policy failure, as governmental action was not able to offset the earthquake’simpact on the labor market
