by Summary:
The first of a long sequence of nice papers on the virus by economists are out: Martin Eichenbaum, Sergio Rebelo, and Mathias Trabandt (2020), The Macroeconomics of Epidemics. NBER wp 26882. (My comments on Twitter.) James Stock (2020), Coronavirus Data Gaps and the Policy Response to the Novel Corona Virus. Mimeo. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to reliably estimate the asymptomatic rate—the share among the infected who do not show strong symptoms. Data: Unconditional mortality rates in Europe: EuroMOMO. Case numbers: CSSE @ Johns Hopkins. Cases numbers: Robert Koch Institute. Case numbers: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Case numbers: ncov2019.live. Oxford University’s government response tracker. Coronavirus link database. Blog by Klaus Wälde on case numbers
