Macroeconomic modelling of infectious diseases: Conceptual frameworks
Dr Larry Liu
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that infectious diseases can generate far-reaching, economy-wide impacts beyond the health sector, highlighting the importance of expanding disease studies to capture their full economic impacts. The presentation systematically examines the channels through which infectious diseases can affect the macroeconomy, and outlines four broad approaches to integrating epidemiological components into macroeconomic models. This research is being undertaken as part of the NHMRC Centre for Stronger Investments in Infectious Diseases.
