https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/03/staff-discussion-paper-2022-5/
We assess the impact of COVID-19 on consumption indicators by estimating the effects of government-mandated containment measures and of the willingness of individuals to voluntarily physically distance to prevent contagion.2022-03-18T12:38:53+00:00enCOVID-19, Containment and Consumption2022-03-18Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)Domestic demand and componentsStaff Discussion Paper 2022-5https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sdp2022-5.pdfCOVID-19, Containment and ConsumptionTatjana DahlhausDaniel HyunAntoine Poulin-MooreJaime TrujilloSaarah SheikhBenjamin StrausMarch 2022CC2C23DD1D12EE6E65II1I18The Geography of Pandemic Containment

Interconnectedness between US states has affected the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. We study the optimal containment policies regulating the movement of goods and people within and between states.2021-06-10T09:29:23+00:00enThe Geography of Pandemic Containment2021-06-10Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)Economic modelsRegional economic developmentsStaff Working Paper 2021-26https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/swp2021-26.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-26Elisa GiannoneNuno PaixaoXinle PangJune 2021FF1HH0II1RR1COVID-19 and Implications for Automation

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/02/staff-analytical-note-2021-1/
We construct an index that systematically measures and tracks the stringency of government policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic across Canadian provinces. Researchers can use this stringency index to analyze how the pandemic is affecting the economy.2021-02-26T14:00:34+00:00enThe Bank of Canada COVID‑19 stringency index: measuring policy response across provinces2021-02-26A Macroeconomic Model of an Epidemic with Silent Transmission and Endogenous Self-isolation
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/11/staff-working-paper-2020-50/
We study the interaction between epidemics and economic decisions in a model that has silent transmission of the virus. We find that rational behaviour strongly diminishes the severity of the epidemic but worsens the economic recession. We also find that the detection and isolation of not only symptomatic individuals but also those who are infected and asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic can reduce the severity of the recession caused by the pandemic.2020-11-26T14:35:20+00:00enA Macroeconomic Model of an Epidemic with Silent Transmission and Endogenous Self-isolation2020-11-26Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)Economic modelsStaff Working Paper 2020-50https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/swp2020-50.pdfAntonio Diez de los RiosNovember 2020EE1HH0II1
