This calculator combines data from the World Bank with insights from the economics literature to estimate the economic impact of destruction and reconstruction in seven key sectors — agriculture, education, energy, health, housing, transportation, and water and sanitation — in six war-torn cities. It allows users to vary key assumptions about the extent of destruction and intensity of reconstruction activity, and estimates the net economic impact on the gross domestic product (GDP) of these six cities. The online calculator supplements the 2017 World Bank's MENA Economic Monitor, The Economics of Post-Conflict Reconstruction in MENA, report, which provides estimates of the costs of the war — the human costs, the damage to infrastructure and physical capital,and the macroeconomic and sectoral costs — and outlines the principles of a reconstruction strategy.  Réduire
