Coronavirus and the Risk of Deflation
http://fedora:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/authors/; Christensen, Jens H. E.; Zhu, Simon (2020-05-11)
The pandemic caused by COVID-19 represents an unprecedented negative shock to the global economy that is likely to severely depress economic activity in the near term. Could the crisis also put substantial downward pressure on price inflation? One way to assess the potential risk to the inflation outlook is by analyzing prices of standard and inflation-indexed government bonds. The probability of declining price levels—or deflation—among four major countries within the next year indicates that the perceived risk remains muted, despite the recent economic turmoil.

The Coronavirus Shock Looks More like a Natural Disaster than a Cyclical Downturn
Deitz, Richard; Bram, Jason (2020-04-10)
It’s tempting to compare the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic to prior business cycle downturns, particularly the Great Recession. However, such comparisons may not be particularly apt—as evidenced by the unprecedented surge in initial jobless claims over the past three weeks. Recessions typically develop gradually over time, reflecting underlying economic and financial conditions, whereas the current economic situation developed suddenly as a consequence of a fast-moving global pandemic. A more appropriate comparison would be to a regional economy suffering the effects of a ...

Replicating and Projecting the Path of COVID-19 with a Model-Implied Reproduction Number
http://fedora:8080/fcrepo/rest/objects/authors/; Seitelman, Lily; Glick, Reuven; Lansing, Kevin J.; Petrosky-Nadeau, Nicolas (2020-06-30)
We fit a simple epidemiology model to daily data on the number of currently-infected cases of COVID-19 in China, Italy, the United States, and Brazil. These four countries can be viewed as representing different stages, from late to early, of a COVID-19 epidemic cycle. We solve for a model-implied effective reproduction number Rt each day so that the model closely replicates the daily number of currently infected cases in each country. Using the model-implied time series of Rt, we construct a smoothed version of the in-sample trajectory which is used to project the future evolution of Rt and ...

Predicting the Unemployment Rate in a Time of Coronavirus
Faberman, R. Jason (2020-04-07)
Economists forecast the unemployment rate all the time. Usually, though, they use data over the previous months and quarters to forecast the unemployment rate out several years. Since the relationships between the unemployment rate and things like GDP growth and employment are mostly stable over time, and since month-to-month movements in the unemployment rate are usually small, these forecasts usually work well.
