dc.description.abstractWe estimate the e ect of hydro-meteorological emergencies on internal migra- tion in Costa Rica between 1995 and 2000. Nationwide, we nd that an increase of one emergency at the canton of origin increases signi cantly, in average, migration rates after controlling for several social, economic, climatic and demographic fac- tors of the cantons of origin and destination. Moreover, when we analyze separately landslides and oods, we also nd that both increase migration. However, we also nd that emergencies with the most severe consequences, those with loss of lives, decrease migration. The severity of the consequences may explain the di erences in the sign of the e ect in previous research. We also nd that emergencies will in- crease signi cantly urban population. Less severe emergencies increase signi cantly migration towards urban areas. More severe emergencies decrease signi cantly mi- gration towards rural areas. This is especially important in developing countries where cities are already facing problems associated with overpopulation.en
