The Macroeconomics of Epidemics
M. S. Eichenbaum, S. Rebelo, Mathias Trabandt
>>We extend the canonical epidemiology model to study the interaction between economic decisions and epidemics. Our model implies that people cut back on consumption and work to reduce the chances of being infected. These decisions reduce the severity of the epidemic but exacerbate the size of the associated recession. …<<

Consumer Defaults and Social Capital
B. Clark, Iftekhar Hasan, H. Lai, F. Li, A. Siddique
>>Using account level data from a credit bureau, we study the role that social capital plays in consumer default decisions.

Fiscal Policy and Fiscal Fragility: Empirical Evidence from the OECD
