Ivan: den mest negativa effekten på ekonomin kommer från det ökade TV tittandet?

kommentar från en bear chat:

"interesting citation on CNN I believe to a study conducted after hurricane Andrew which estimated the national economy took a .8 % (that's eight TENTHS of a percent) hit the quarter Andrew came through based on the large numbers of people who stayed home to watch it come ashore on TV (as opposed to shopping, dining out, etc. etc.). It makes me wonder if this week after week of drama with hurricanes may have a similar, even greater impact this year."
