Abstract

The first aim of this study is to identify possible natural disasters and catastrophes and to summarize the state of economic literature in the domain. Further are analyzed the methodologies used for estimating the economic impacts of disasters and catastrophes. The second aim is to compare disasters and catastrophes from several transition countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Republic of Moldova, Poland, Romania and Ukraine) in the 1900-2014 time period, underlining their negative impact on the economy.
