Shaping Africa’s Post-Covid Recovery

Edited by Rabah Arezki, Simeon Djankov and Ugo Panizza

in CEPR Press Books from Centre for Economic Policy Research

Abstract: With the exception of some flashpoints in Northern and Southern Africa, the continent has been largely spared from the direct health effect of Covid-19. However, the African economy has been significantly hurt by the economic consequences. This eBook summarises recent research on the economic effect of the Covid-19 pandemic in the continent covering a wide array of topics focusing on the response of firms, households, governments, and international organisations.
