Economic vs. epidemiological approaches to measuring the human capital impacts of infectious disease elimination

Chuard, Caroline; Schwandt, Hannes; Becker, Alexander D.; … - 2022

A rich economic literature has examined the human capital impacts of disease-eliminating health interventions, such as the rollout of new vaccines. This literature is based on reduced-form approaches which exploit proxies for disease burden, such as mortality, instead of actual infection counts,...

Blockbuster Antivirals and Vaccines : Real Options in a Flu Pandemic

Koh, Wilson - 2014

Avian flu has been the focus of significant attention since 2004, when there were reports of human infections in Asia from the avian flu H5N1 strain. To prevent the catastrophic mortality of mankind, several governments are stockpiling antivirals and pharmaceutical firms are increasing their...

The Economic Impact of Social Distancing : Evidence from U.S. States During the 1918 Influenza Pandemic

Bridgman, Benjamin; Greenaway-McGrevy, Ryan - 2022

What are the long-run economic impacts of the policy responses to control pandemics? We investigate this question by exploiting state-level data spanning one of the most consequential global pandemics in centuries, the 1918 influenza pandemic. Specifically, we use a difference-in-differences...

The Economic Cost of Social Distancing During a Pandemic : An Optimal Control Approach in the SVIR Model

Ramponi, Alessandro; Tessitore, Maria Elisabetta - 2022

We devise a theoretical model for the optimal dynamical control of an infectious disease whose diffusion is described by the SVIR compartmental model. The control is realized through implementing social rules to reduce the disease’s spread, which often implies substantial economic and social...

An Epidemic Model for SARS-CoV-2 with Self-adaptive Containment Measures

Borin, Alessandro; Marchetti, Sabina; Conteduca, … - 2022

During the Covid-19 pandemic, several countries have resorted to self-adaptive mechanisms that allow non-pharmaceutical interventions to be tailored to local epidemiological and health care indicators. These mechanisms reinforce the interdependence between containment measures and the evolution...

Internal and External Effects of Social Distancing in a Pandemic

Farboodi, Maryam; Jarosch, Gregor; Shimer, Robert - 2020

We use a conventional dynamic economic model to integrate individual optimization, equilibrium interactions, and policy analysis into the canonical epidemiological model. Our tractable framework allows us to represent both equilibrium and optimal allocations as a set of differential equations...
