Natural disasters are complex events, and their causes, consequences and lessons are usually difficult to understand in detail. In this research, I use big earthquakes to study the resilience of the inhabitants of affected regions. Traditionally, social scientists have focused on the economic consequences of these events, particularly concentrating on the financial burden of damages, migration, and reconstruction. However, interesting questions emerge when we focus on people. Are affected individuals more vulnerable to falling below the poverty line following a natural disaster? Are they able to seek and maintain employment before and after the event? Do firms grow or employ more people in the most affected areas? In order to explore these questions, this thesis takes the 2010 Earthquake in Chile as a case study. The main source of data come from a household survey from 2009, which was later repeated after the 2010 quake. I also use administrative tax data to look at the effects on firms within the last decade, which are compared with U.S. Geological Survey maps pertaining to the shock.

520 $a Results show that the most affected regions were not necessarily those with increased vulnerability to poverty; in fact, some regions actually performed better than expected while others did not. Not all people were able to retain their jobs in highly affected areas, but their wages were surprisingly resilient to disturbance in the short term. Most interesting, more firms were created than closed in the short and medium term following the event, but this phenomenon did not necessarily translate into more jobs or higher wages.
520 $a The results of this thesis show that individuals, firms, and regions tend to be very resilient to adversity, but socioeconomic impacts are sometimes different across regions that are geographically close. Understanding the spatial and social heterogeneity of natural disasters is critical for informing policies for relief and reconstruction, and for preventing foreseeable social impacts of natural disasters in the future.
