FAREWELL to C19 (FAmily REsponse and WELL-Being impact of Covid-19
Lockdowns and the economic crisis induced by Covid-19 are imposing unprecedented constraints on families in terms of freedom of choice, consumption opportunities, time use, and social interaction. While working from home has become the norm, it also implies a dramatic increase in inequality among families, since people most likely to be working from home were already better off. The FAREWELL to C19 project aims to analyse how these effects concur with individual traits (such as age, gender, economic status, and resilience under uncomfortable circumstances) to shape people's preferences, eco...
MODVid -- Modeling the macroeconomic and distributional eects of Covid-19 and restarting scenarios
MODVid is a package of four complementary and interdependent projects aimed to inform public decisions fastly. The goal is to use better modeling tools to estimate consistent macroeconomic and distributional effects of the crisis and of restarting scenarios. We propose to use macroeconomic and microsimulation models available at STATEC or LISER (assuming a return to normalcy after the crisis) as well as to develop a model highlighting the risk of a systemic collapse of financial markets (no return to normalcy). In the assessment of the restarting strategy, a particular attention is devoted ...
Distributional impact of the COVID-19 Crisis
The project aims to assess the costs and distributional implications of the COVID-19 outbreak in Luxembourg. It will identify those most likely to suffer from income losses, leading to more effective/efficient targeting of income support measures and improved cost estimates of COVID-19. The lack of timely available data constrains the estimation of the scale and direction of recent changes in the income distribution, which in turn constrain policymakers seeking to monitor such developments. There are huge uncertainties about the budgetary costs and distributional impacts of the outbreak....
