Assessing Targeted Containment Policies to Fight COVID-19
Checo, Ariadne; Grigoli, Francesco; Mota, Jose M. - 2021
The large economic costs of full-blown lockdowns in response to COVID-19 outbreaks, coupled with heterogeneous mortality rates across age groups, led to question non-discriminatory containment measures. In this paper we provide an assessment of the targeted approach to containment. We propose a...
