Abstract: Pandemics are only possible because of international travel. But perhaps surprisingly, in the absence of social distancing, a more globalised country will not necessarily suffer a worse outbreak. Pol Antràs, Stephen Redding and Esteban Rossi-Hansberg set out a new framework for analysing the interaction between globalisation and pandemics.
