BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

The global COVID-19 spread has forced countries to implement non-pharmacological interventions (NPI) to preserve health systems. Spain is one of the most severely impacted countries, both clinically and economically. In an effort to support policy decision-making, Candel et al.(2021) [https://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3745801] have developed a modified Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed (SEIR) epidemiological model to simulate the pandemic evolution. Its output was used to populate an economic model to quantify healthcare costs and GDP variation, through a regression model which correlates NPI and GDP change from 42 countries. The dataset contains information on the main variables used in order to specify and estimate this predictive model.

This paper provides evidence on the relationship between income inequality and economic growth in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regions during the decade 2003–13. It combines household survey data and macroeconomic databases, covering over 200 comparable regions in 15 OECD countries. The econometric results, based on two alternative sets of instruments, highlight a general negative association between inequalities and economic growth since the start of the economic crisis. This relationship is sensitive to the type of urban structure. Higher inequalities seem to be more detrimental for growth in regions characterized by medium to large-sized cities, while regions characterized by small cities and rural areas are less affected.
