Spatial financeWhere capital meets hazard, exposure and transition
Professional research
Disaster Risk Finance research asks how much disasters cost public budgets and households, how to layer instruments by frequency and severity, whether pre-arranged money arrives faster and helps more, and how basis risk and debt clauses perform when tested by real events.

Questions, methods and limits.
| Question | Method | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| What do disasters cost the budget? | Tagging of post-event spending and PDNA results | Untagged budget data |
| Which layer suits which instrument? | Loss distributions and cost-of-funds comparison | Short loss histories |
| Does early money reduce losses? | Evaluation of anticipatory programmes | Few rigorous studies |
| How did parametric covers perform? | Comparison of payments with reported losses | Reported losses are incomplete |
Every result keeps its label.
Results are labelled as observed, published statistics, estimated, modelled, forecast, scenario or expert judgement. Missing data is shown as missing, never filled silently.
