This has been a long time coming - I remember working on ideas around this over three years ago.
So well done to the government for actually getting on with it.

Some of the government’s proposals are thin on details, others are likely to be tested in the courts.

Govt needs to 1️⃣establish a network of external epi-econ researchers 2️⃣strengthen X-govt governance for pandemics 3️⃣develop at least one in-house model 4️⃣create dedicated research funding streams for pandemics 5️⃣create formal structures ahead of time for epi-econ evidence synthesis at the top of govt

There are challenges for govt using these models: analysis is siloed in depts between econ and epi; challenge handling complexity or uncertainty in analysis; govt could ‘use and abuse’ models by over relying on them for perfect solutions in complex scenarios.

Better use of more developed epi-econ models could help next time. Can be used as decision-making tools surfacing trade-offs during pandemics. Also for prep, testing policies under diff scenarios, identifying trade-offs, inflection points & unintended consequences & valuing preparatory investments.
