2011年3月11日东日本大地震对日本东北部地区造成了毁灭性影响。在准实验的情况下，使用地震后6个月收集的面板数据，本研究探讨了灾难对受地震和海啸影响的老年幸存者的经济和心理健康的因果影响。差异中差异估计的结果表明，支出和就业的显着影响，但对主观幸福感或健康的影响不显着。对幸存者的福祉和健康的影响可能因经济早日复苏而有所减轻。
The Great East Japan Earthquake of 11 March 2011 had a devastating impact on the north-eastern part of Japan. In the quasi-experimental situation, using panel data collected 6months after the earthquake, the present study examines the causal effects of the disaster on both the economic and psychological well-being of elderly survivors affected by the earthquake and tsunami. The results by difference-in-difference estimation show that there was a significant impact on expenditure and employment, but little significant impact on subjective well-being or health. The impact on well-being and health of survivors may have been mitigated by the early economic recovery.
