Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly received a great deal of attention among academics and practitioners. As new variants of the pandemic continue to unfold, dealing with the associated uncertainties both in the short- and long-term is crucial. While the literature is currently replete with the economic consequences of the pandemic, a very limited number of studies have addressed appropriate strategies based on empirical evidence that will facilitate economic recovery from the pandemic. Thus, this Special Issue (SI) intends to publish high-quality research papers that provide practical insights into the design of optimal policies for a faster recovery from the pandemic in a way that puts the global economy on the path of growth which is at least comparable to the pre-pandemic levels. Deeper analyses that offer actionable policy actions geared towards promoting greater economic prospects across countries are encouraged.
Specifically, the SI welcomes papers that:
1. Provide the hedging possibilities against the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic
2. Offer short-, medium-, and long-term projections on the recovery process of the global economy
3. Develop new datasets that help track the recovery process of the global economy
4. Use new methods and or new/updated datasets to estimate the recovery process of the global economy.
