Historically, small island developing states (SIDS) bordering the Pacific Ocean have suffered from multiple hazards, such as earthquakes, coastal erosion, floods, and cyclones. Population increase, uneven progress in socioeconomic development, and the ongoing environmental degradation, including climate change, have exaggerated their vulnerability to disasters. At the same time, the recent COVID-19 global pandemic has shown that the small, remote, and less-diversified economies of SIDS are particularly prone to additional external shocks. Events such as COVID-19, in combination with disasters resulting from natural hazards, pose additional challenges for resource-constrained economies' recovery. However, the existing literature has rarely evaluated such interactions. We provide initial insights into the interaction of alternative DRM policies in the presence of additional demand-side constraints, which we evaluated through the recently developed binary constrained disaster (BinD) model. Our results indicate that a targeted increase of government spending in times of crisis could be beneficial for the economic recovery of Fiji. However, short-term trade-offs emerged with respect to financing options. Debt-financed recovery allows a faster and less painful recovery but requires quick and preferential access to foreign borrowing. Tax-financed recovery can compensate for short-term foreign borrowing needs but comes at the cost of more detrimental impacts on the GDP and private sector consumption.","onlinedate":"2021-12-01 00:00:00","lang":"English","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20211201","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"25","keywords":"[]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":null,"zip":null,"link":"https:\/\/www.adb.org\/publications\/building-back-better-small-island-developing-states-pacific","monthly_report":false,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"1290","journal":"ADBI Working Papers","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":true,"embargo_date":null,"types":[83083],"research_groups":[3655],"collaboration":"","persons":[17981,18261,18263,17971,5051],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":17981,\"personName\":\"Nepomuk Dunz\",\"organisationNames\":[\"The World Bank\"]},{\"personId\":18261,\"personName\":\"Hajime Tanaka\",\"organisationNames\":[\"UTokyo\"]},{\"personId\":18263,\"personName\":\"Nagisa Shiba\",\"organisationNames\":[\"IGES\"]},{\"personId\":17971,\"personName\":\"Junko Mochizuki\",\"organisationNames\":[\"The World Bank\"]},{\"personId\":5051,\"personName\":\"Asjad Naqvi\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.5 (Yoast SEO v26.5) -
