The economic impact of the pandemic - drivers of regional differences

Philipp Meinen and Roberta Serafini

Economic Bulletin Boxes, 2021, vol. 1

Abstract: This box examines the drivers of intra-country regional differences in the economic impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19), as observed in the four largest euro area economies during the initial phase of the pandemic. More specifically, it discusses how the interaction between government containment measures, sectoral structure and trade linkages helps explain the intra-country regional variations in the labour market impact of the pandemic. It finds that the different economic impact across regions cannot be explained solely by the spread of infections JEL Classification: R11, F14, J40, R15
