"Estimating the Economic Impact of COVID-19: A Supply Side Analysis"
by Narayanan, Badri and James Villafuerte


Abstract
Using a static simulation of a standard GTAP model, the paper analyzes the effects of : 1) increased trade costs from border restrictions; 2) reduced productivity from lockdown and community quarantine; and 3) enhanced health care services and subsidy to consumers and producers from the Government. Two scenarios were explores, the first a short containment scenario where the outbreak is controlled within 3 months with limited impact on tourism receipt, consumption and investment growth, and production disruption; and a second a longer containment where the outbreak is controlled within 6 month with deeper impact on tourism receipts, consumption and investment growth, and production disruptions. The simulation results that the global impact of COVID-19 ranges from $2.5 trillion to $4.9 trillion or -2.8% to 5.4% of GDP. The impact for Asia is about half of the global impact or from $1.2 trillion to 1.9 trillion or -3.7% to -5.8% of GDP.
