The effect of economic variables on natural disasters and the impact of disasters on economic variables.

This study aims to study how disaster losses are affected by unemployment and poverty, then how disasters also cause income inequality in Indonesia and the causal relationship between disaster losses and income inequality. To determine the structural relationship between economic variables and disaster losses, the Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Squares (SEM - PLS) approach is used. This approach is an approach previously not found in economic and environmental studies.
