Special Issue: Policy Responses to the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on Asia

 

 

With the spread of COVID-19, the social and economic activities of countries around the world have been significantly affected. Being a key component of global supply chain, Asia is the fastest growing economic region and the largest continental economy by GDP in the world. As a critical driving force of the world economy, the impact of COVID-19 on Asian countries will also be transmitted to other continental economy. Therefore, it is crucial to better understand the economic impacts of this epidemic on Asia countries, and assess policy responses to such impacts.

 

In response to the challenges posed by this pandemic, policymakers have adopted various policies and measures for pandemic control, disaster relief and recovery. In-depth understanding the effects of different policy measures is beneficial for policymakers to design effective action plans, as well as enable countries to recover from the impacts of the pandemic as soon as possible. Therefore, aside from assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economies of Asian countries, it is also crucial to better understand the performance and effect of different policy measures.

 

In the context mentioned above, the Pacific Economic Review (PER) is planning a special issue devoted to policy responses to the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on Asia. This special issue aims to reflect the impacts of the pandemic on the economies of Asian countries and the effects of policy responses to the pandemic. The guest editors of this special issue are Professor Peter Chow (City University of New York), Professor Hsien-Min Lien (National Chengchi University) and Professor Chun-Hsien Yeh (Chung-hwa Institution for Economic Research and Academia Sinica).
