    Suite à l’épidémie de Corona apparue en décembre 2019 en Chine et que nous sommes en train de subir à l’échelle mondiale, les populations redécouvrent les romans relatifs aux épidémies. L’un de ces écrits les plus lus, traduit en 22 langues, est la Peste d’Albert Camus (1913-1960). Il vient de battre tous les records de vente sur les 2 derniers mois.  Ainsi, en Italie, l’un des pays où l’épidémie a frappé le plus durement en Europe, les ventes des deux derniers mois ont été multipl ...

    Face à la pandémie du COVID-19, un plan d’action a été établi autour de trois axes : santé, économie et ordre social. Dans chacun de ces champs, le concours des institutions publiques, du secteur privé et des membres de la société civile a permis jusque-là de limiter les dégâts et d’avoir un certain contrôle sur la pandémie. Sur le plan sanitaire, l’intervention vise une maîtrise de la progression de la maladie pour une meilleure absorption des flux par le système de santé, aux moy ...

    Kim Jong-un, the dictator of North Korea, disappeared from public view after an appearance at a Workers' Party politburo meeting on April 11. The unpredictable leader did not appear to celebrate the anniversary of his grandfather’s birthday four days later, an important holiday for the nation. Then Mr Kim missed Military Foundation Day, on which he usually honors the military, the foundation of his absolute power. Rumors began to spread. The dictator was gravely ill, possibly dying. ...

    Tourism is considered one of the hardest hits by the COVID-19 outbreak. The sector is experiencing a rapid and sharp drop in demand and a surge in job losses at global level, putting many SMEs at risk. Despite tourism’s proven resilience in responses to other crisis, the depth and breadth of the current pandemic will likely have a longer lasting effect on international tourism compared to other industries, more likely to recover once major restrictions will be lifted. This is also d ...

    In a previous article, we highlighted how developing economies have faced simultaneous shocks from their external environment, as pandemic and recession curves have unfolded abroad (Canuto, 2020a). In addition to financial shocks, there have been declines in remittances, tourism receipts, and commodity prices (Canuto, 2020b). The combination of these shocks with the hardships related to flattening domestic infection curves has configured what we have called a ‘perfect storm’ for dev ...

    Avec moins de 200 décès à ce jour, le Maroc a su enrayer l’épidémie de Covid-19. Mais le pays redoute une explosion de la pauvreté. Pour Karim El Aynaoui, président du Policy Center for the New South, il est essentiel de repenser l’économie marocaine. Bientôt deux mois après le premier cas déclaré de Covid-19, diagnostiqué le 4 mars, le Maroc est parvenu en grande partie à conjurer la menace sanitaire. Sur les presque 21 000 tests faits au 23 avril, il compte ainsi 17 295 cas négat ...

    Nous abordons la question de l’impact du climat sur la propagation de Covid-19 avec une certaine hésitation, car nous sommes des économistes, et non des virologues. Pourtant, le fait que les épicentres du Covid-19, de Wuhan à Téhéran, Bergame, Mulhouse, Madrid et New York, se trouvent en zone tempérée est d’une grande importance, puisque ces régions risquent de subir le plus grand nombre de décès et les plus grands dommages économiques. Les épidémies de grippe passées, dont beaucou ...

    We are embroiled in a global emergency that we, as a species, have not previously experienced. This menace is responsible for massive numbers of premature deaths and, if left untreated, could forever threaten our global security. Misinformation about the cause and how best to address it, has been pervasive. If you thought I was referring to COVID-19, you would be wrong. Rather, I am speaking about something far more destructive: climate change. The World Health Organization (WHO) h ...

    Alors que les pays africains semblaient être épargnés par le coronavirus en début de crise, il apparait clairement aujourd’hui que ces derniers souffriront également des retombées négatives de cette pandémie. Compte tenu du nombre de cas relativement bas en comparaison avec les autres régions du monde, les systèmes de santé ne sont pas encore soumis à la pression observée ailleurs mais cela ne saurait tarder. Cependant, les effets négatifs sur l’économie sont eux déjà largement per ...

    Policymakers across the world face a dilemma: to lockdown the economy, and see output and employment collapse, or to open and face a surge of COVID-19 infections and deaths that could overwhelm the medical system? The choice is especially stark in poor countries, where many depend on what they earn day to day, and where the medical system is entirely unequipped to deal with the virus. In this brief we assess the likely path and geographic spread of the epidemic. We do so by examinin ...
