Resilience Economics

Post-disaster reconstruction involves rebuilding and revitalizing communities impacted by disasters, with a focus on the economic implications of these efforts. The research focuses on demand surge, efficient reconstruction strategies, and the development of effective policies and decision-making processes to ensure sustainable and efficient recovery. Dr. Yasar, NTIRI’s social science lead & an economist, and Director Dr. Shahandashti are leading research aimed to optimize recovery strategies that balance economic costs with social resilience, promoting effective and sustainable rebuilding efforts.
