Severe weather hit the North Island of New Zealand in late January 2023, followed by Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023, which caused large-scale flooding and damage. These weather events destroyed a significant part of the capital stock at time t. Assume future labour supply is not affected by the disaster and there are no adjustment costs (i.e., additional costs required to convert goods into investments beyond the value of the investment). You are required to write an analytical note for the government on the economic impacts of these events (hint: your answers should be guided by formal economic concepts but you should take care to explain your reasoning to be accessible to a general public sector audience). Make sure your note addresses the following two questions.
