ABSTRACT
Sound Policy Responses to the Economic Consequences of the Coronavirus [open pdf - 170KB]
From the Key Takeaways: "[1] Any policy response to the adverse economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic should be targeted, temporary, and directed at aiding public health efforts. [2] Congress should not exploit a crisis by bailing out special interests or handing out favors to those seeking to achieve policy aims unrelated to the outbreak. [3] An 'epidemic tax credit' for private firms in epidemic areas would help provide flexible paid leave, aid public health efforts, and reduce the risk of infection."
