Abstract: In mid-March 2020, the economic scenario in Israel suddenly changed. As a consequence of the spread of Covid-19, most economies—including Israel’s—were forced to close their borders to avoid contagion from abroad, and to suspend economic activities in many sectors. The Israeli government adopted various decisions aimed at coping with the spread of the virus, with serious economic effects. Its main two policies were severe lockdown and giving compensation for those who lost their jobs or business.
