The Economic Impact of Disasters

3/19/11. How delightful to see my Uncle George Horwich who was a Professor of Economics at Purdue University cited in this week's "Economist" for his analysis of the effects of the Kobe earthquake. Oh how I wish George were here to see some of the fruits of his discipline and creativity.
