      abstract = {"This book presents an evaluation of the impacts of  megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis on regional economies  and subsequent reconstruction, as well as regional  revitalization by the spatial economic model and dynamic  macro and regional computable general equilibrium (CGE)  models. The cases examined are the Great East Japan  Earthquake and the Indian Ocean Tsunami. The study  constructs three models of these megathrust earthquakes and  the associated tsunami. In the first model, the regional  CGE model is proposed with a database comprising the  two-regional social accounting matrix for 2005 between the  region comprising four disaster-affected prefectures of  Japan and the non-disaster region. For the recursive  dynamic regional CGE model, the model that expanded and  improved the dynamic two-regional CGE model to reflect the  incomplete employment conditions and the aging society is  used to analyze the impacts of an earthquake and the  construction of industrial clusters. In the second model,  the interregional input–output model is proposed in order  to analyze the impacts of the earthquake and rapid  population decline and construction of a biogas electricity  power plant. In the third model, a new economic geography  (NEG) model is proposed, consisting of the 47 prefectures  of Japan in order to investigate the impacts of the Great  East Japan and Nankai megathrust earthquakes and the  associated tsunami and to consider how they change the  regional economies of Japan. Using these three models, the  impacts of megathrust earthquakes and tsunamis on regional  economies and reconstruction and on regional revitalization  are evaluated."--},
