We construct a news-based viral disease index and study the dynamic impact of epidemics on the world economy, using … structural vector autoregressions. Epidemic shocks have persistently negative effects, both directly and indirectly, on affected … countries and on world output. The shocks lead to a significant fall in global trade, employment, and consumer prices for three …

This paper develops a novel indicator of global economic activity, the GEA Tracker, which is based on commodity prices selected recursively through a genetic algorithm. The GEA Tracker allows for daily real-time knowledge of international business conditions using a minimum amount of...

We investigate the role of global value chains in the declines of manufacturing employment and output in the U.S. during COVID-19. Specifically, we identify the role of global value chains by exploiting heterogeneity across industries in cross-country sourcing patterns and its interaction with...

We analyse the role of international trade and health coordination in times of a pandemic by building a two-economy, two-good trade model integrated into a micro-founded SIR model of infection dynamics. Uncoordinated governments with national mandates can adopt (i) containment policies to...

We review heterogeneous agent-based models of financial stability and their application in stress tests. In contrast to the mainstream approach, which relies heavily on the rational expectations assumption and focuses on situations where it is possible to compute an equilibrium, this approach...

Large and growing international financial linkages between East and West have altered the nature of the stability risks faced by European banking systems, increasing susceptibility to contagion. This paper aims to identify potential risks of cross-border contagion using a sample of large Western...

We build a Susceptible-Infected-Vaccinated Economic two-sector growth model to study the evolution of inequality in an economy with two groups of workers, who are differently exposed to a transmissible disease. We show that the economy can lead to various scenarios in the long run, which range...
