The (Structural) Gravity of Epidemics
Cuñat, Alejandro; Zymek, Robert - 2020
Epidemiological models assume gravity-like interactions of individuals across space without microfoundations. We … of people across space obey a structural gravity equation. By means of an application to data from Great Britain we show … that our structural-gravity framework: provides a rationale for quarantines; offers a clear mapping from observed geography …

Costly, but (relatively) ineffective? : an assessment of Germany's temporary VAT rate reduction during the Covid-19 pandemic
Baudisch, Victoria; Neuenkirch, Matthias - 2023
We evaluate Germany's temporary value-added tax (VAT) rate reduction as a tool to stimulate consumer spending during the Covid-19 pandemic using a comparative case study approach. We construct a credible counterfactual for Germany in a two-step procedure. First, we carry out a careful...

Covid-19 crisis, pandemic resilience and linkages to land : an exposition
Choudhury, Pranab R.; Ghosh, Ranjan Kumar; Sindhi, Sumita - 2020

Decoupling global value chains
Eppinger, Peter S.; Felbermayr, Gabriel; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2021
Recent disruptions to global value chains (GVCs) have raised an important question: Can decoupling from GVCs increase a country’s welfare by reducing its exposure to foreign supply shocks? We use a quantitative trade model to simulate GVCs decoupling, defined as increased barriers to global...

Covid-19 shocking global value chains
Eppinger, Peter S.; Felbermayr, Gabriel; Krebs, Oliver; … - 2020
