Project

Construction of a dashboard for the evaluation of covid policies. (COVID-19)

We will construct a dashboard for the evaluation of policy measures in the context of a pandemic, taking into account that these measures (a) have an impact on different components of wellbeing (health, income, social contacts and loneliness,  freedom, mobility, feeling of being integrated in society,…); (b) will affect different groups in society in a different way and (c) should not be evaluted in comparison to the situation before the start of the pandemic, but in comparison to the situation with a pandemic and without restrictive measures. The results from epidemiological models will be integrated in a broader evaluative framework. Use will also be made of the (growing) literature analysing observational data with good statistical techniques. The aim is to fill in the various cells of the dashboard in so far as this is possible. It is obvious, however, that there will be crucial lacunae remaining. If possible, these lacunae will be filled with original results using Belgian data.
