Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and common around the world, and literature on post-disaster economic impacts is emerging

As one of the world's largest economies and one of the countries most affected by natural disasters, China allows policymakers to experiment with a variety of ways to improve resilience to natural disasters, making it an ideal place to study the relationship between natural disasters

Using urban commercial bank data and natural disaster data from the Emergency Events Database, the paper found that China's local state-owned city commercial banks, with their mandate to operate within a city limit, were able to respond more effectively to natural disasters by actively expanding credit, especially to corporate borrowers
