The Economics of a Pandemic

Covid-19 is the largest health and economic crisis of our generation. Every day, we are bombarded by myriad news stories, which are evolving quickly, are often highly technical, and present us with policy choices that dramatically affect our lives. Contributing to the public debate, supporting the government to implement and improve its policies, navigating your business through these unprecedentedly uncertain times, all require tools to process this information and to understand the different trade-offs that are necessarily involved in any health, economic, financial and business policy. Why did the world arrive so unprepared for this crisis? This course will provide you with the basic frameworks, tools and empirical facts to critically evaluate the major economic and social costs of the Covid-19 crisis. Which generation, group of households and firms will pay the highest economic toll; how will socio and economic inequality change?
