Resource Abstract:
- description: distributions of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) are computed using a two-fold process. Where applicable, the proportional
contribution of subnational units are determined following the methodology of Sachs et al. (2003) and these proportions are
used against World Bank Development Indicators to determine a GDP value for the subnational unit. Once a national GDP has
been spatially stratified into the smallest administrative units available, it is further distributed based upon Gridded Population
of the World, Version 3 (GPWv3) population distributions. A per capita contribution value is determined for each unit, and
this value is multiplied by the population per grid cell. Once the GDP has been determined on a per grid cell basis, then
the spatially variable loss rate as derived from EM-DAT historical records is used to determine the total economic loss posed
to a grid cell by volcano hazards. The final surface does not present absolute values of total economic loss, but rather a
relative decile (1-10) ranking of grid cells based upon the calculated economic loss risks. This dataset is the result of
collaboration among the Columbia University Center for Hazards and Risk Research (CHRR), International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development/The World Bank, and Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN).;
