Modeling downward counterfactual events : unrealized disasters and why they matter by Lin, Yolanda C., Jenkins, Susanna F., Chow, Jun Rui, Biass, Sébastien, Woo, Gordon, Lallemant, David

“…The downward counterfactual framework relies first on identifying a past event, which may or may not have been considered a major disaster. After an event has been identified, historical parameters from the past event are relaxed in order to identify small changes that result in downward, worsening consequences. …”
