Impacts of COVID-19 and policy responses on three continents: A LEWIE approach

Edward Taylor, Distinguished Professor of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of California, explores the use the LEWIE modeling to understand the impact of COVID-19 and policy responses in rural areas. In this video, Edward Taylors introduces us to LEWIE (Local Economy Wide Impact Evaluation) models shares links for those who want to learn more about it and presents early results from simulations employing results from LEWIE models to estimate impacts of Covid-19 and how policy responses such as cash transfers, agricultural support, and Public Works can help mitigate these impacts through multiplier effects.
