Source: Authors’ own calculations based on MODIS flood data.

Note: The tangential shock event (TSE) indicator is measured as the maximum number of flood days on any pixel within a certain sphere of interest and time horizon. Results are based on the sample used in the main analysis (21,839 observations). Minimum values across indicators, radii, and time horizons are zero. The average numbers of included pixels (ca. 250 × 250 meters) overlapping with a sphere of interest (increasing from 1,000- to 5,000-meter radius) are 53, 271, 491, 872, and 1,368.
