Document Summary
There was a great recession in 2009 that had a big negative a ect to japan"s. The 2010" earthquake completely wiped out the economy in haiti. After the earthquake, which was -5% growth, haiti had 5% growth rate after 2010 for a little while. They had a post disaster stimulus and a slow decline because they were hit with many other problems after 2010. In some cases reconstruction can act as a stimulus for the economy through external aid and/or increased spending and employment during the recovery. Recall that haiti has been hit with follow on problems since 2010. These act as positive feedback loops -> amplify changes and causes system to go away from equilibrium. A nature article about the greatest earthquake ever recorded, and what has been learned from it. The ways in which the earths crust deforms when stresses are put onto it and how the earth breaks on faults.
