Disaster can influence the means and the conditions of production causing a reduction in the amount of product available. It can also bring about a greater demand for certain products leading to a higher price as a result of increased demand. there are other factors that can lead to higher prices such as for example. the Oil spill of the coast of the USA will lead to the cost of production being increased by BP the result will be that competing oil producers will have the opportunity to raise their prices slightly. Add to this the knee jerk political reaction that leads to no offshore oil being taken from the US coast and the oil companies will be wringing their greedy hands in glee as the prices Will go up without the production scale having to alter one way or another.

Is it inexpensive to live in Puerto Rico?
I'm going to guess that it's about avg for the usa. housing prices seem cheaper here, but everything else (food, furniture) is more expensive because they don't make or grow much here. everything has to be imported. i think usa policy kind of dictates that PR will be a consumer of usa goods, and the Puerto Ricans don't seem to do much for themselves
