General equilibrium analyses of Covid-19 impacts and policies: an historical perspective

Roberto Roson and Camille Van der Vorst

No 2021:25, Working Papers from Department of Economics, University of Venice "Ca' Foscari"

Abstract: This survey presents the recent and rapidly expanding literature, which analyses the economic impacts of the COVID 19 pandemic, by means of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling. It does so not only by contrasting and assessing the different methodological approaches, and the key findings of the simulation exercises, but also by putting the various contributions in a historical perspective. This is necessary, because each CGE based study should be evaluated while keeping in mind when it was realized, since questions, priorities, expectations have been constantly changing during the spreading of the pandemic.
