This document analyses the economic effects of Hurricane Alex in Mexico in 2010, considered the most destructive in Mexico in the recent half century. To do this, a methodology based on multi-regional input-output analysis is applied. With the model, direct and indirect economic costs are calculated, both in the region of impact of the phenomenon and in the rest of the world. The findings show that indirect costs represent 20% of total costs and that, out of such indirect costs, 15.6% occurred abroad, mainly in the United States, and 84.4% occurred in the national territory.

Palabras llave : input-product analysis; footprint of a disaster; economic impact of disasters; multi-region indirect costs.
