Coronavirus and social distancing: do non-pharmaceutical-interventions work (at least) in the short run?

Bardey, David; Fernández, Manuel; Gravel, Alexis - 2021

Using detailed daily information covering 100 countries and an event-study approach, we estimate the short run effects of implementing Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs) on the spread of the COVID-19 virus at the early stages of the pandemic. We study the impact of two NPIs -stay-at-home...

Disentangling Covid-19, economic mobility, and containment policy shocks

Camehl, Annika; Rieth, Malte - 2021

We study the dynamic impact of Covid-19, economic mobility, and containment policy shocks. We use Bayesian panel structural vector autoregressions with daily data for 44 countries, identified through sign and zero restrictions. Incidence and mobility shocks raise cases and deaths significantly...

Social distancing and the economic impact of COVID-19 in the United States

Bürgi, Constantin; Gorgulu, Nisan - 2020

This study documents how the demographics of new infections and mortality changed over time across US counties. We find that counties with a larger population share aged above 60 were hit harder initially in terms of both cases and mortality in March and April while counties with a larger...

The challenge of estimating the direct and indirect effects of Covid-19 interventions : toward an integrated economic and epidemiological approach

Dorn, Florian; Lange, Berit; Braml, Martin; Gstrein, David - 2022

Decisions on public health measures to contain a pandemic are often based on parameters such as expected disease burden and additional mortality due to the pandemic. Both pandemics and nonpharmaceutical interventions to fight pandemics, however, produce economic, social, and medical costs. The...

The impact of mass antigen testing for COVID-19 on the prevalence of the disease

Kahanec, Martin; Lafférs, Lukás; Schmidpeter, Bernhard - 2021

More than a year since the first outbreak in China in December 2019, most countries are still struggling to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Mass antigen testing has been proposed as an instrument to mitigate the spread of the disease and allow the economy to re-open. We investigate the potential...

The impact of mass antigen testing for COVID-19 on the prevalence of the disease

Kahanec, Martin; Lafférs, Lukás; Schmidpeter, Bernhard - 2021

More than 100 million people have been infected and 2.5 million people have died of COVID-19 globally as of February 2021. Mass antigen testing could help to mitigate the pandemic and allow the economy to re-open. We investigate the effects of mass antigen testing on the pandemic, using data...
