NOLA_Tradeoffs.R

# ============================================================================
# This script reproduces and combines the simple studies in order to
# showcase how a simple model framework could be utilized to explore
# financial and risk-to-life tradeoffs in the New Orleans Metro-bowl.
#
# Financial efficiency is assessed adopting:
# - 'A Dutch perspective on coastal Louisiana flood risk reduction 
#    and landscape stabilization' (Dijkman 2007, Jonkman et al. 2009).
#
# And risk-to-life is emulated from:
# - 'Risk to life due to flooding in post-Katrina New Orleans'
#   (Miller et al. 2015)
#
# Alexander Bakker (2016)
