Risk, Shocks, and Human Development: On the Brink

By Ricardo Fuentes-Nieva

Sudden negative events are part of life, but some are more disastrous than others. This book analyzes the consequences of sudden negative shocks in the short and long term well being of people and how the policies implemented before, during and in the immediate aftermath of the event could help prevent these long lasting effects.
