In her lecture, Veronica Guerrieri discusses the macroeconomic effects of a pandemic. She argues that its asymmetric nature makes it crucial to use a multiple sectors model to study the transmission of the shock from sectors that require high levels of personal interactions to the rest of the economy. With this perspectives, she discusses alternative policy responses and argues that targeted transfers are particularly desirable.
