Economic impact of the 2016 Red Tide over the exporting sector of Chile's Tenth Region

Anderson Roselló, Ray and Villarreal Zan, Ricardo (2020): Economic impact of the 2016 Red Tide over the exporting sector of Chile's Tenth Region.

Abstract

This research aims to estimate the economic impact produced by the 2016 Red Tide phenomena on the ocean derived product export sector of the Los Lagos Region in southern Chile. For this purpose, a time series approach is employed using export data in terms of value and volume. Results suggest that the catastrophe had severe consequences over exported volume. Nevertheless, no significant results are found regarding exported net value.
