Understanding the future economic consequences of the covid-19 pandemic” is a white paper by
Economist Impact, commissioned by Pfizer. The report focuses on the future economic implications of the sustained spread of SARS-CoV-2 across four distinct country archetypes.
The white paper presents the findings of a research programme that explored the potential future economic impact of the covid-19 pandemic focusing on productivity and economic losses. It provides a thematic review of the economic impact of covid-19, including how countries responded to initial pandemic shocks, the potential effects on productivity and financial losses through 2025 and a discussion of unique country-level contexts that may contribute to, or mitigate, the impacts of covid-19.
