The Regional Spillover Effects of the Tohoku Earthquake
In this paper, we trace out how a decline in industrial production in one region can be propagated throughout a country. We use the model to measure how a shock to industrial production in Tohoku--owing to the Earthquake and Tsunami from 2011--can be propagated throughout Japan. In our econometric model, regions and industries within regions are linked by specific structures and these structures discipline how the shocks are spatially propagated.
