  abstract = {{T}his paper investigates the effect of typhoons on economic activities in {V}ietnam. {D}uring the period covered by our analysis, 1992-2013, we observed 63 typhoons affecting different locations of the country in different years with varying.











intensity. {U}sing measures of the intensity of nightlight from satellite imagery as a proxy for the level of economic activity, we study how the nighttime light brightness varies across locations that were variably affected by the tropical cyclones.











{T}he results suggest that typhoons have on average dimmed nighttime luminosity of the places hit by 5 ± 5.8 % or 8 ± 7.8 % depending on the specifications we made.},
