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.

Modeling the Consumption Response to the CARES Act
Carroll, Christopher D.; White, Matthew N.; Crawley, Edmund S.; Slacalek, Jiri (2020-08-31)
To predict the effects of the 2020 U.S. CARES act on consumption, we extend a model that matches responses of households to past consumption stimulus packages. The extension allows us to account for two novel features of the coronavirus crisis. First, during the lockdown, many types of spending are undesirable or impossible. Second, some of the jobs that disappear during the lockdown will not reappear when it is lifted. We estimate that, if the lockdown is short-lived, the combination of expanded unemployment insurance benefits and stimulus payments should be sufficient to allow a swift ...
