The Business Interruption Effects of the Northridge Earthquake

9411998 Gordon本研究的主要目标是估计与北岭地震相关的业务中断的全部成本，这是自1933年长滩地震以来第一次中到大地震，震中位于大都市区内。 很少有研究已经进行了业务中断的影响，一个大地震，而不是损害估计的结构和生命线。 这是第一次有机会，然后，进行事后分析，如果业务中断造成的重大城市地震。 由于它涉及易腐数据的收集，该项目正在由NSF的探索性研究计划小额赠款资助。 ***

9411998 Gordon The primary goal of this research is to estimate the full cost of business interruptions associated with the Northridge earthquake, the first moderate to large earthquake with an epicenter inside a large metropolitan area since the Long Beach earthquake of 1933. Little research has been conducted on the business interruption effects of a major earthquake as opposed to damage estimates to structures and lifelines. This is the first opportunity, then, to undertake an ex-post analysis if business interruptions resulting from a major urban earthquake. Since it involves the collection of perishable data, this project is being funded under NSF's Small Grants for Exploratory Research program. ***
