Tractable epidemiological models for economic analysis

Gonzalez-Eiras, Martín; Niepelt, Dirk - 2020

We contrast the canonical epidemiological SIR model due to Kermack and McKendrick (1927) with more tractable alternatives that offer similar degrees of "realism" and exibility. We provide results connecting the different models which can be exploited for calibration purposes. We use the expected...

Redistribution and the monetary-fiscal policy mix

Bhattarai, Saroj; Lee, Jae Won; Yang, Choongryul - 2020

We show that the effectiveness of redistribution policy in stimulating the economy and improving welfare is directly tied to how much inflation it generates, which in turn hinges on monetary-fiscal adjustments that ultimately finance the transfers. We compare two distinct types of...

Optimal lockdown and social welfare

Pestieau, Pierre; Ponthiere, Gregory - 2020

This paper reexamines the design of the optimal lockdown strategy by paying attention to its robustness to the postulated social welfare criterion. We first characterize optimal lockdown under utilitarianism, and we show that this social criterion can, under some conditions, imply a COVID-19...

We find that a government may assure positive equilibrium growth through public employment in the enforcement...

Measuring the economic risk of epidemics

Noy, Ilan; Nguyen Doan; Ferrarini, Benno; Park, Donghyun - 2019

We measure the economic risk of epidemics at a geo-spatially detailed resolution. In addition to data about the epidemic hazard prediction, we use data from 2014-2019 to compute measures for exposure, vulnerability, and resilience of the local economy to the shock of an epidemic. Using a battery...
