Abstract: This study first analyzes the national and global infection status of the Coronavirus Disease that emerged in 2019 (COVID-19). It then uses the trend comparison method to predict the inflection point and Key Point of the COVID-19 virus by comparison with the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) graphs, followed by using the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average model, Autoregressive Moving Average model, Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving-Average with Exogenous Regressors, and Holt Winter’s Exponential Smoothing to predict infections, deaths, and GDP in China. Finally, it discusses and assesses the impact of these results. This study argues that even if the risks and impacts of the epidemic are significant, China’s economy will continue to maintain steady development.

Keywords: COVID-19; China’s economy; severe acute respiratory syndrome; GDP; autoregressive moving average model; autoregressive integrated moving average model; seasonal autoregressive integrated moving-average with exogenous regressors; Holt Winter’s exponential smoothing (search for similar items in EconPapers)
