COVID Economics Alumni Webinar Series - Toxvaerd and Linton
Cambridge-INET and Dr. Meredith Crowley are hosting a series of public lectures for Cambridge Alumni. In the fourth webinar in the series, Integrating Economics into Epidemiological Approaches,, Dr Flavio Toxvaerd discussed the reasons why people spontaneously engage in social distancing, how these decisions shape the spread of infection in the population, and the role that individual behaviour should have in formulating policies to contain the epidemic. Professor Oliver Linton discussed the application of a new quadratic time trend model to data on 191 countries from the European CDC to predict the peak in new cases or new deaths in large countries.
