Shortly after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic and the initial measures taken by the government, CERGE-EI's think tank IDEA launched the IDEA anti COVID-19 project to provide expert ideas and recommendations to mitigate the negative economic effects of the pandemic. Numerous faculty members, researchers, students and alumni have of CERGE-EI joined the project and are generating a multitude of policy briefs addressing various aspects of the crisis.
Four CERGE-EI faculty have been appointed to the government's Economic Advisory Team, and make up one-third of this advisory body: Jan Švejnar, who lead the team, together with Štěpán Jurajda, Filip Matějka, and Daniel Münich. Filip Matějka was also appointed a member of the Central Crisis Committee.
All the above mentioned are covered by the leading newspapers, online journals, and public broadcasters. Although entering the public debate is not the be-all and end-all of the researchers' job, it is great to see so many members of the CERGE-EI community having their say on this very important topic.
This page shows abstracts of most studies only. For full information go to the Czech web page of IDEA anti COVID-19.
