A structural model of coronavirus behaviour for testing on data behaviour
Meenagh, David; Minford, Patrick - 2021
We fit the logistic function, the reduced form of epidemic behaviour, to the data for deaths from Covid-19, for a wide variety of countries, with a view to estimating a causal model of the covid virus' progression. We then set out a structural model of the Covid virus behaviour based on...
