Flattening the Curve:COVID-19 & Grand Challenges for Global Health, Innovation, and Economy

Edited by Chirantan Chatterjee, Anindya S Chakrabarti and Anil B Deolalikar

in World Scientific Books from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: One of the key issues the world grappled with during COVID-19 was the distributional implications of lockdowns globally. The shadow of lockdown policies continues when nations still try to emerge out of the pandemic. Heterogeneity herein over time, country and even within nations in policy making resulted in unintended consequences and debates between citizens, scientists, policy makers and civil society. Responses to COVID-19 meanwhile tried to balance a long run approach which involved the health sector, built on an innovation-oriented mindset and kept in mind the broader economic implications of policy decisions for the future.
