DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will develop and test a series of inter-connected theories about the economic, social, and political processes that influence the recovery from large-scale losses of population and economic assets following a natural disaster. A key element is to evaluate the impact of external aid and the form of aid delivery on local behaviors, networks and institutions, as well as long term growth and inequality. The analysis focuses on coastal villages in Aceh, Indonesia, that were differentially affected by the 2004 tsunami, and will make use of a panel data set (initiated in 2005) of 111 villages and 550 fishing boat owners that contains rich detail on local economic and political institutions, interaction of villages with external institutions, population change, and trauma suffered. A subsequent round of the survey using previously committed resources is now being collected, which adds another 100 villages and 200 new boat owners. We propose two additional rounds of the survey, creating a panel from 2005 to 2013. The project brings together USA and Indonesian experts on issues of community development, health, the environment, political economy, and inequality. Recovery of village population and health is importantly linked not just to the availability of individual economic opportunities to different strata of the population and to potential migrants, but to the extent to which the local village is able to mobilize both local and external resources to rebuild. Central in mobilization is the aid process. This application emphasizes four central tradeoffs that appear to have played an important role in the recovery process thus far: a) the "adoption" of a village by an external aid agency to garner more aid versus a loss in the degree of local autonomy and ability to marshal local volunteer labor; b) allocation of assets through aid agencies on a more equitable basis versus allocation based on differences in expertise; c) village leadership with greater technical competence and ability to deal with aid and government recovery agencies versus leadership that is well positioned within local economic and social networks; and d) incorporation of modern institutions as part of the aid process such as formal titling of assets that may increase returns to private investment at the expense of investment in public resources. This project will investigate these trade-offs and the efficacy of the aid process in the context of examining the recovery process of villages and fishing firms. It will investigate the reemergence of patterns of inequality, where the destruction of the tsunami and the aid process had a strong equalizing effect. It will study how the ability to marshal local investment in public resources is affected by wide-scale population losses, personal trauma, aid and its form of delivery, losses of village leaders, and pre-existing social networks. It will examine the efficacy of aid in achieving "sustainable development," with a particular focus on the adoption of modern market institutions to supplant traditional institutions, given village social and political processes. Finally it will study how recovery of fishing firms is affected by the aid process, regulation, and trauma. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE The research in this application would facilitate the analysis and design of effective aid responses to large scale losses in population and economic assets in low-income areas following a natural disaster. The focus of this work is on how external and internal resources and institutions can best be integrated to promote population recovery and health through long-term equitable and sustainable economic growth.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将开发和测试一系列有关经济，社会和政治过程的相互联系的理论，这些理论影响了自然灾害后人口和经济资产的大规模损失的复苏。一个关键要素是评估外部援助的影响以及援助交付对当地行为，网络和机构的影响，以及长期的增长和不平等。该分析的重点是印度尼西亚亚齐的沿海村庄，受到2004年海啸的差异影响，并将利用111个村庄的面板数据集（于2005年启动）和550个渔船所有者，其中包含有关当地经济和政治机构的丰富细节，与外部机构的互动，外部机构的互动，人口，人口，遭受苦难，以及遭受苦难。随后使用先前承诺的资源进行的调查正在收集，这增加了100个村庄和200个新的船主。我们提出了另外两轮调查，从2005年到2013年创建了一个小组。该项目将美国和印尼有关社区发展，健康，环境，政治经济学和不平等问题的问题汇集在一起​​。 乡村人口和健康的恢复不仅与对不同人口和潜在移民的个人经济机会的利用相关，而且与当地村庄能够动员本地和外部资源进行重建的程度有关。动员的中心是援助过程。该应用程序强调了四个中心折衷方案，这些方案似乎在迄今为止的恢复过程中发挥了重要作用：a）外部援助机构对村庄的“收养”，以获得更多的援助，而损失了当地自主权的程度，并能够使本地志愿者劳动竞争； b）基于专业知识的差异，通过更公平的基础与分配分配资产分配； c）具有更大的技术能力和处理援助和政府恢复机构与领导能力的能力更高的乡村领导能力，这些机构位于当地经济和社会网络中； d）将现代机构纳入援助过程的一部分，例如对资产的正式所有权，这些资产可能以牺牲公共资源投资为代价增加私人投资的回报。 该项目将在检查村庄和捕鱼公司的恢复过程中调查这些权衡以及援助过程的功效。它将调查不平等模式的重新出现，在这些模式的破坏和援助过程的破坏具有强大的均衡作用。它将研究如何将当地投资的公共资源投资能力受到广泛的人口损失，个人创伤，援助及其交付形式，乡村领导者的损失以及现有的社交网络的影响。它将研究援助在实现“可持续发展”方面的效力，并特别关注鉴于村庄的社会和政治进程，将现代市场机构采用现代市场机构来取代传统机构。最后，它将研究捕鱼公司的恢复如何受援助过程，调节和创伤的影响。公共卫生相关性本申请中的研究将有助于分析和设计自然灾害后低收入地区人口和经济资产中对大规模损失的有效援助响应。这项工作的重点是如何最好地整合外部和内部资源和机构，以通过长期公平和可持续的经济增长来促进人口恢复和健康。
