Summary A macroeconomic model is developed to quantify socio-economic impacts of earthquake disaster. The impacts, such as fluctuations of population and GRPs, of the 2011 East Japan Earthquake Disaster are simulated by the model under several conditions of disaster scale and reconstruction investments. Effective reconstruction policies are discussed based on the simulated results.
