The Danish Economic Council’s recent report contains an entire 100 page chapter on economics and epidemiology, complete with self-contained intro to epi models and a review of the new literature. #econtwitter @t0nyyates @DORsSekretariat @DalgaardCarl 1/3
In addition, it contains a number of different policy experiments and a very thorough discussion of the interaction of the economy and the virus. This is seriously impressive policy work and a model for how things can be done. 2/3
Notably, this body is set up to give unbiased, un-politicised advise to guide policy and inform the public. There’s no reason we cannot have a body doing that kind of valuable work in the UK. Who will step up and back such an initiative? 3/3
