By Benjamin Mateus

Stanford University held a conference last month with the misleading title, “Pandemic Policy: Planning the Future, Assessing the Past.” Given the utter bankruptcy of the US and global policy in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, one would conclude that a discussion on how the world can address the current and future pandemics is of immense importance and has significant relevance to international public health policies.

However, the one-day conference held at the prestigious university was funded through Collateral Global and supported by Brownstone Institute, promoters of pandemic misinformation and COVID-19 contrarians. It was the opposite of a serious discussion on pandemic preparedness.

To place these organizations into a proper perspective, it bears noting that Robert Dingwall, a British sociologist who has been heavily promoted by Collateral Global, wrote on his blog in March 2020 that the elderly would be better off to die from COVID-19 than to be protected and later die from a degenerative disease like dementia. This was a thinly disguised version of fascistic eugenics—weeding out the “unfit” from society.

The Stanford symposium showcased a panel of discredited scientists and supposed policy health experts associated with the reactionary Great Barrington Declaration, better characterized as a manifesto of death, set on promoting the notion that no broad-based public health initiatives should have ever been undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic or when the next pandemic strikes.

At the core of the debunked “declaration” is the claim that there can be “focused protection” against the pandemic for those at high risk, which would allow those at minimal risk of death to lead normal lives while building up immunity to the virus through natural immunity.

Well-respected global health advocate Peter Hotez said of the conference, “This is awful, a full-on anti-science agenda (and revisionist history), tone deaf to how this kind of rhetoric contributed to the deaths of thousands of Americans during the pandemic by convincing them to shun vaccines or minimize COVID.”

These include discredited figures like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford public policy professor; Dr. Scott Atlas, former Trump administration adviser on the Coronavirus Task Force; and Anders Tegnell, Sweden’s former state epidemiologist, who advocated for a policy of mass infection to achieve “herd immunity” that had horrendous consequences on the population, in particular, the elderly and most frail. Tegnell’s most consequential remark during the conference gave the flavor of the event: “We have focused so much on mortality as a measure of outcome, but there are more important things.”

Included on the panel were Marty Makary, prominent Johns Hopkins University surgeon, who had repeatedly predicted that the population was on the verge of achieving natural immunity and the pandemic would thus come to an end. Also there was Oxford Professor of Epidemiology Sunetra Gupta, one of the original signers of the declaration with Bhattacharya, and Harvard University biostatistician Martin Kuldorff.

Graph compares COVID deaths in the US, Sweden and Norway (which adopted a far more rigorous pandemic mitigation program). [Photo: Our World in Data] Gupta has called for mass infection of the young and declared during the conference that her idea of focused protection had evolved into what she termed “individual risk reduction,” where each person would decide for him or herself the level of protection and mitigation they wanted to assume during a deadly outbreak. This is the literal opposite of public health, treating infection with a highly contagious and potentially lethal disease as a purely individual matter.

That institutions like Johns Hopkins, Harvard and Stanford are at the forefront of promoting such anti-science and anti-public health initiatives speaks to the deep political and moral decline in academic circles. Similarly, these “elite” institutions have embraced censorship and attacks on democratic rights of students protesting the US backing of Israel’s genocidal policies in Gaza.

Closing remarks at the Stanford conference were given by John Ioannidis, professor of epidemiology and one of the principal investigators of the fallacious, non-peer-reviewed Santa Clara County study, released in April 2020, which suggested that COVID-19 was no deadlier than the flu and that the pandemic measures to protect populations needed to be lifted forthwith.

At the time of that study, the COVID-19 pandemic was inundating the healthcare system of New York City. The CDC had noted that close to 20,000 people had died in the three-month window (March through May) with an overall crude fatality rate of 9.2 percent. Also, 30 percent of hospitalized patients with laboratory confirmed COVID-19 were known to have died.

Bhattacharya, who had locked arms with AFT President Randi Weingarten in forcing students and teachers back into schools in 2021 and served as a pandemic adviser to Florida’s fascistic Governor Ron DeSantis, attempted to sell the conference as a forum for people with opposing views coming together to air out their differences.

“What can we do in the future? The pandemic was by any measure a disaster,” he declared. Although he cited the correct number of deaths and economic turmoil caused by the pandemic affecting the poorest in the world, he blamed these losses, not on the failure to carry out systematic public health measures but on the measures themselves. It was a translation into academic jargon of the notorious declaration by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman that “the cure can’t be worse than the disease.”

Bhattacharya had the audacity to assert, “this conference was four years too late, but this is not too late, this is not the last pandemic the world will face.” The purpose of his efforts to codify the perspectives put forth by the Great Barrington Declaration is to ensure no real effort is taken by any government to address any threat, including the current bird flu outbreak that threatens to ignite another pandemic.

His ideas have nothing to do with the field of epidemiology or any scientific comprehension of the nature of pandemics. If he has a bone to pick with the Biden administration and its response to the pandemic is that Biden and Harris did not adopt the mass infection policy officially from the beginning, but only implemented it piecemeal.

Additionally, Bhattacharya has positioned himself as a fellow traveler with the anti-vaxxers promoting the false notion that the current mRNA vaccines are unsafe and the process through which they were brought forward violated safety measures which is patently false.

He wrote for the Brownstone Institute a report published on November 16, 2022, stating, “The Biden plan enshrines former president Donald Trump‘s Operation Warp Speed as the model response to the next century of pandemics. Left unsaid is that, for the new pandemic plan to work as envisioned, it will require us to conduct dangerous gain-of-function research. It will also require cutting corners in the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of novel vaccines. And while the studies are underway, politicians will face tremendous pressure to impose draconian lockdowns to keep the population ‘safe’.”

Scott Atlas blurted out the real purpose of the conference. Reading a prepared statement, he said that the lockdowns failed to stop the dying, and they failed to stop the spread. He blamed the economic lockdowns for the excess deaths rather than the virus. He blamed Dr. Anthony Fauci for implementing the lockdowns and not enforcing “targeted protection.”

Atlas later also called for complete US divestment from the World Health Organization and called for the termination of all middle-level scientists at the CDC, for which he received applause from his colleagues on the panel.

The Stanford conference was entirely divorced from the actual history of the pandemic, particularly its early weeks. The initial outbreak of COVID in Wuhan showed it was propagated by airborne transmission and was both highly contagious and lethal.

When, on January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, Europe, the US, and other countries chose not to act. They could have rapidly eliminated and eradicated the virus but did nothing until the virus had spread globally and began its deadly rampage.

It was in early March, six weeks later, with the horrific scenes emerging out of Italy that prompted the working class to demand a shutdown. Auto workers took the lead in many countries, including the United States and Canada, and it was only out of fear of a mass rebellion among workers internationally that the ruling elites were forced to respond with limited lockdowns to stem the tide of infections.

The Great Barrington Declaration, the right-wing campaigns against mask and vaccine mandates and last month’s conference at Stanford were essentially rooted in fear of the independent initiative of workers insisting on serious in public health measures. The populist demagogy about allowing people the “freedom” to work in the midst of a deadly pandemic cannot disguise what is a fundamentally anti-working class perspective.

The maliciously false point being driven home by the organizers of the conference was that social interventions—masking, closure of schools and businesses, lockdowns, and maintaining social distancing—were worse than the disease, despite studies that have shown when such policies were actually implemented, they saved many, many lives.

As one 2023 study published in The Lancet found, in the period from January 1, 2020, to July 31, 2022, Hawaii, with stricter anti-COVID measures, saw 147 deaths per 100,000 compared to 581 per 100,000 in Arizona and 526 per 100,000 in Washington D.C. The national rate was 372 deaths per 100,000.

Similar conclusions were reached in a more recent comprehensive study that evaluated state by state in the US comparing restrictions in place and impact on excess deaths. As the authors of that study noted, “COVID-19 restrictions were associated with substantial reductions in excess pandemic deaths in the US. If all states had weak restrictions, as defined in the Methods section, estimated excess deaths from July 2020 to June 2022 would have been 25 percent to 48 percent higher than if all had imposed strong restrictions. Behavioral responses provided a potentially important mechanism for this, being associated with 49 percent 78 percent of the overall difference.” This last part of the statement underscores the importance of open channels of communications and an all-in approach to such matters. Public health is first and foremost a social concern.

And still another study published in January 2022 found that the impact of the limited measures employed saved between 870,000 to 1.7 million Americans.

The most insidious issue that the COVID-19 contrarians fail to mention is that herd immunity is not achievable with a virus like SARS-CoV-2, which mutates so rapidly, and the issues raised by Long COVID and reinfections with the concomitant long-term health impacts that will debilitate the population are not even considered. Current estimates place the number of those suffering from Long COVID across the globe at over 410 million as of the end of 2023.

The response to pandemics requires a social investment in public health on an international scale. The global nature of the economy poses that a national approach as was seen in China and its Zero COVID policy cannot withstand an anti-public health policy that is imposed on the global population. This raises the need for a socialist perspective not only to the global economy but to the global health of the working class.

The Weight of 2020

When did it start? The first time you put on a mask, fabric trapping your breath? The first day of quarantine, when you gazed out the window at streets so barren, it was like everyone was already dead? The first time you heard the phrase ‘novel coronavirus’, before ‘novel’ became ‘new normal’? Or was it when you realized the pandemic was a string of firsts with no lasts? If the story of sickness has no beginning, how can you expect it to end?

Sometimes, it starts with a whisper– start small, skip breakfast. I hear it many times before I listen. You know you’re sick when a fever spikes, but the virus was waiting within you for days, even weeks. You were carrying the disease all along. 

High temperature. Shortness of breath. Lunches emptied into the trash, untouched. I can get away with it; I eat alone. I was quarantined before it was cool. I sit in silence as my body burns, wishing the flames would devour me faster. Loss of appetite, loss of taste. It’s not so different, after all. 

Nausea, vomiting– the same nights hunched over, heave and splatter. Is it the sickness, or is it me?  Did I choose this? I didn’t catch it. I guess that makes it my fault. As I empty myself of all that I am– you are what you do not eat– I feel her watching from the mirror. 

An issue of self-image– the self and the image refuse to be joined. They are much more than a hyphen apart, lacking the quickness of Covid-19, uttered in a single hushed breath. Self. Image. Illness isolates; you become well-acquainted with the separate self. 

Rising numbers. Flatten the curve. Fear is a line graph angling steeply toward an unseen zenith, stolen moments of normalcy shattered by too much, too much, too much! It haunts me, like the silence that falls after a cough in the supermarket, the cessation of safety, sanity. The resuming clatter of carts cannot lighten air left leaden, laden. 

When you’re sick, you want to get well. I don’t want to be well; I want to be nothing. I don’t want to rest, drink water, breathe. What I really want is to erase myself, but there’s no escape from the grotesqueness of flesh, the ghoul in the mirror. 

It’s not my body—all the forgiveness I do not have weighs on me. If there was ever a time to forget compassion, it would be now. You expect, somewhere between the hoarding and hysteria, for the mask of humanity to slip. I expected it, in my animal brain of hurts and hungers, but I was proven wrong. 

A week after the graduation I never had, I tried to carry a box. It was light, but I was weak, and getting to the post office, half a mile from my shell of a dorm room, was more than I could bear. 

It wasn’t just the box. It was the gaping windows, lifeless eyes in the ruins of buildings still standing; Van Hise, where the elevators skipped floors 2-5; the humanities building, a concrete maze; the English building, where I should have gone to the award ceremony senior year, but the one year I won, the whole world lost. It was all the detritus of my former life suspended around me that made my task unbearable. 

I was painfully aware of my tight breath, aching back, trembling hands. Trembling– what I was doing felt more violent, like tearing myself apart. My hands shook for hours afterward, but when I found myself collapsing under the weight of 2020, I dropped my box, and two girls picked it up. We were in a pandemic, but they saw my suffering body and rushed to its aid when I only ever saw myself as an adversary, an illness. To them, I was human. 

So, I went to the hospital. My disease was not the one on anyone's lips, least of all mine. Even then, I was alone in the deepest way, too sick to be contagious. I wished I could have coughed to spread my pain. I laid there, staring at white ceilings, quarantined in my own head. 

Recovery. For some, illness spends itself in days. In others, it lingers for months, years. Healing never happens all at once, in a moment of truth, the second we choose to get better. How do you know when you’re finally well? How do you know when the pandemic’s over? 

How do you vaccinate for anorexia?

Why a mask?

The year 2019 ended with such a sudden outbreak of pandemic in all countries. It was a painful memory for all. For me, too, my first academic year at UCI forced me to spend my days and nights in China for online classes. Those painful memories aside, the masks were the thing that made the biggest difference in people's lives. Everyone was required to wear a mask outside. On the streets, you could see everyone wearing N95 masks or medical masks. The stores and Wal-Marts were full of people wearing masks. The world was permanently changed one day in 2019. These changes lasted until 2022, when they were gradually eliminated. Without a doubt, the masks are the thing that has had the most impact on my life.

Why connect to the economy?

As a commodity, masks are naturally influenced by the economy. During an epidemic, the price of masks fluctuates constantly, but a general trend always keeps rising. Part of the masks is distributed to everyone as a public benefit, and parts are also produced privately. Therefore, masks can be classified as Private Goods or Public Goods, but even with the Public Goods attribute, the government cannot stop the price of masks from rising.

The graph above depicts my understanding of the rising price of masks. Many residents tried to overbuy masks with the outbreak to meet future demand. So, the demand for masks created a shift to the right. Finally, the price of masks was raised rapidly. The demand for masks is also shifted to the right to achieve market equilibrium. This leads to the fluctuation of the market price.

This volatility has not stopped the price of masks from rising. "On Amazon, one pack of disposable masks that was priced at $125 on Sunday surged to $220 per pack on Wednesday, according to data from Keepa, which tracks price changes on Amazon. "That's because the demand for masks is much greater than the production. Everyone is overstocking masks to meet future demand. This phenomenon has led to the price of masks rising even as the government and factories continue to produce them. As a fully competitive commodity, masks should have quickly returned to the supply and demand market balance. However, this did not happen. As you can imagine, this is due to the rising demand. This also explains why market prices fluctuate. When demand increases, factories increase production to meet the public's demand to hit the equilibrium point. But this expanded production does not meet the demand for unlimited stockpiling of masks. This causes prices to rise again before they return to the equilibrium point. Of course, such fluctuations are not limited to market equilibrium; many other factors contribute to this phenomenon. These factors include speculation by speculators, among others.

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 a global pandemic. This set a domino effect for all industries, people, and places around the world. In the U.S., businesses and schools quickly pivoted to distanced and online formats, people were forced to stay at home, and we experienced the quickest recession in the history of this country. One industry, however, was hit harder than most: the airline industry.

With all the shutdowns and travel bans around the world, aviation seemingly hit rock bottom overnight. Airlines’ main service for customers is flights, so without being able to fly even at a fraction of the capacity that they previously could, their main source of revenue was essentially eliminated. This impact on the airline industry was not merely felt here in the United States, but around the world, in some cases even more so. Take a look at the graphic below and one can understand the type of impact that was felt.

This impact hit the smallest of airlines the hardest. The biggest airlines in the world—think United or Delta—were able to survive the pandemic by using their fleets to fly cargo, charter, and repatriation flights. Unfortunately, many smaller airlines were unable to do so, and as of February 11, 2023, 64 airlines have gone bankrupt during the pandemic. 

Although the airline industry is poised to bounce back and the future is looking brighter, it is a fact that the Covid-19 pandemic has changed civil aviation forever. In this blog, we are going to examine the impact of Covid-19 and subsequent events and policies on the airline industry during the peak of Covid-19 in 2020 and 2021 by examining the busiest trans-Atlantic route in the world: London (LHR) - New York (JFK).

Based on the graph above, there is a shift to the left for demand as the amount of interest in purchasing airplane tickets would decrease due to the restrictions involved from government during the incidents of the CoronaVirus. Due to this shift, in order to offset the changes, the quantity amounts needed for people to purchase need to be increased resulting in the prices for airplane tickets to decrease as some of the reasoning to why people would not want to purchase the tickets could be factors of self-quarantine/isolation for a 14 day period before being lifted as well as fear for the virus spread. Decreasing the price in turn would result in some people being interested or affect people in deciding whether or not to purchase.

Within this graph, we could see that the blue box would represent the consumer surplus meaning that is the price the consumer would pay based on the difference between the maximum customers are willing to pay to the equilibrium market price. In this case, the consumer surplus would be a small amount due to the fact of Coronavirus resulting in fewer people being interested in purchasing the tickets as well as the amount of worth provided on a quarantine isolation requirement. Whereas the producer surplus is the difference between the highest amount a consumer is content to pay for the product with the product market price. Similar to the factors seen in the consumer surplus, the producer surplus would also be at a smaller space as the effects of the Coronavirus results in people being less likely to find high amounts of worth for their product being the airplane tickets during a time of crisis and fear.

The graph would show an increasing opportunity cost due to how the amount of flights traveling within the JFK airport results in an increased value for the amount of Covid cases found. As airplane travels were to increase, the spread of the Corona virus would increase at an exponential rate, whereas with less cases of Coronavirus involving air travel would be at a small rate based on the amount of passengers willing to travel. As there has been a connection between the rates for Covid cases and airplane flights found within the JFK airport, Covid cases increase based on the more flights held within the JFK airport. With less space in the airplane and even fewer flights held, the amount of Coronavirus cases would decrease by a bit compared if there were more flights held.

Overall, this example was quite relevant to our daily lives during the peak of the pandemic. During the summer of 2020, our group member, Kevin, had made plans to travel to Europe. One of us specifically had already booked flights at the end of 2019 and was planning a nice trip. Unfortunately, after the pandemic hit, he requested a refund. Luckily, he had travel insurance so he was able to get his money back. Regardless if the government stepped in, he would not have gone on the trip as he originally planned because of fear and concern that was caused by Covid-19. Like him, millions around the world canceled their travel plans because of this concern. This indicates a clear decrease in the market demand for flights, and this greatly shook the airline industry. Only time will tell when the industry will stabilize.

A Microeconomic Analysis of my Experience during the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 undoubtedly had a drastic effect on many peoples' lives as it spread around the globe. One such impact is the way it altered many of our routines and consumption preferences, including the way we dine.

Uber Eats (2023). [Uber Eats logo].

At the height of the pandemic I was in the middle of my second year at community college, and like many people, I had a lot of spare time. I figured I should look for work and eventually signed up for the food delivery service, UberEats. The business works by contracting ordinary people who own a vehicle to deliver food from restaurants to private households. Before the pandemic struck, platforms like this were large, but still burgeoning. Prior to the height of the pandemic I was curious about the app and asked friends what sort of pay they were receiving to do deliveries for UberEats. At first, I was underwhelmed when I heard that they were making anywhere from $10 to $15 for an hour of work.  Once the pandemic struck however, the growth of the industry really took off. The graphic below comes from an article entitled “The Pandemic has More than Doubled Food-Delivery Apps’ Business. Now What?” written by tech reporter Levi Sumagaysay of MarketWatch. What the visual shows is that UberEats and many other platforms brought in considerably more revenue in Q3 of 2020, at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, compared to Q2 of 2019.

Market Watch (2023). [The COVID-19 Delivery Boom].

Around the same time, I had once again asked my friends who had signed up for the app what their pay was and they told me they were now making anywhere from $20 to $25 an hour. Hearing this, I eagerly signed up and started doing deliveries. The growth of this industry and my decision to enter the job market could be understood through the concepts of supply and demand and producers’ willingness to sell. There are several firms in this industry and they all supply mostly identical products so we can say that the market for food delivery apps is roughly competitive. Though real world markets are more complicated than perfectly competitive models, granting a few simplifying assumptions can provide some useful explanation of these developments. For instance, the pay increase that me and my friends observed and the increased revenue these firms were generating could be attributed to a shift in market demand for UberEats. A factor that might increase the quantity of food deliveries demanded at every price level is a change in consumer preference.

UC Berkley (2023). [Social Distancing].

Because people were afraid of getting sick, they stayed indoors more often and their preferences went away from in-person dining, towards contactless food delivery. This increase in demand would induce upward pressure on the market clearing price as well as the quantity of deliveries supplied by the typical firm at the point where their marginal revenue equals their marginal cost. From the perspective of UberEats, the marginal revenue they get from the output which is equal to the new market price has increased, incentivizing them to produce more deliveries. In this graph below, this is depicted by an increase in quantity supplied by the firm from Q*1 to Q*2.

In order to supply a greater quantity at Q*2 however, a firm in this market will need more inputs for production, one of which being labor. Seeing opportunity for greater profits, firms like UberEats would have a need for more delivery drivers that perform the actual delivery service. At every price level, the quantity demanded for delivery drivers would increase. Graphically this can be represented by a shift rightward in the demand curve in the labor market, which we also take to be competitive. The labor market, which is governed by the same laws of supply and demand as any other competitive market, would see an increase in both quantity supplied and price at equilibrium due to the increased employer demand. What this meant for drivers, myself included, was that the number of job openings increased and the typical wage they received for their work went up.

Consequently, both surplus for consumers (employers) and surplus for suppliers (drivers) grew. This is because the willingness for employers to pay for labor less the cost they paid for it as well as the willingness for drivers to sell their labor subtracted from the pay they earned both increased. The surplus for employers such as UberEats and drivers before and after the increase in demand can be represented by a graph of total surplus. In the graph shown below, following the demand shift, the area encompassing employer surplus increased from E+B to E+F . Likewise, the area encompassing drivers’ surplus went from A to A+B+C+D. The increase in total surplus attributed to demand shift is visually represented by the regions C+D+F.

Because the increase in pay that drivers were receiving surpassed the minimum dollar amount that I was willing to sell my labor for, I decided to sign up for the app. The surplus I received from this decision would be captured in the region D which represents the increase in producer surplus attributed to all new driver entrants in the market. Since new entrants such as myself could offer services at a lower cost compared to those who refrained from entering the market despite the pay increase, overall economic well being increased. What this demonstrates is that even under tumultuous circumstances like a global pandemic, markets are resilient and an economy with versatile supply and demand benefits society as a whole.

Economic survey of Italy

Following World War II, the Italian economy was among the poorest in all of Europe. Today, it is among the strongest. The nation's diverse industrial base is mostly fueled by the production of high-end consumer goods. Its metallurgical and engineering sectors are its strong suits, while a lack of raw resources and energy sources are its limitations. Today, it is the world's ninth-largest economy and Europe's third largest economy. The nation is a major exporter of rice, tomatoes, and wine and a leader in the production of olive oil worldwide. In this paper, we are going to take a look at some of the major macroeconomic variables that play a major role in the economy of the country. In the graphs that will be seen below , the years will be in descending order starting from 2021 and going back to 2012. So the data shown will be for a time period of 10 years.

GDP GROWTH RATE

According to the International Monetary Fund, Gross Domestic Product is used to measure the monetary value of final goods and services produced in a country during a given period of time. It accounts for all the output produced inside a nation's boundaries. GDP is made up of products and services generated for market consumption as well as certain nonmarket production, including government-provided defense or educational services.

The Covid-19 Pandemic forced the world into a lockdown so as to curb the spread of infections. As a result production within the economy stopped and so obviously the GDP did fall to new levels in many economies. The same happened to Italy. The Italian economy shrank by more than previously thought during the second quarter as a result of lockdown restrictions imposed to curb the coronavirus pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic significantly affected the Italian economy, with GDP declining by 8.9% in 2020.  The global financial crisis and the sovereign debt crisis both caused successive shocks, and employment and investment levels were yet to fully recover. Despite modest growth up to 2008, per capita incomes have stayed below 2,000 levels for the past 11 years.

An sudden decline in GDP in April 2020, which led to a GDP contraction of 8.9% in 2020—one of the worst in the OECD—reflected the severity of the first and subsequent lockdowns. This was caused in part by the structure of the Italian GDP: Compared to other major European nations, the economy of this country is dominated by contact-intensive services.

About 6% of the GDP is directly attributable to tourism, while 13% is indirect. Similar to the majority of OECD members, 42% of domestic activity is accounted for by foreign tourism. Activity decreased in all COVID-related industries, including those that were less severely limited.

By year's end, the Italian economy had recovered the majority of the output losses brought on by the pandemic, growing by 6.5% in 2021. However, prolonged supply problems and dramatically rising energy prices cast a shadow over the near-term picture. In particular, consumer services, declining purchasing power and waning consumer confidence are anticipated to restrain real GDP growth in the near future.

EXPRTS OF GOODS AND SERVICES

The value of all goods and other market services offered to the rest of the world is represented by exports of goods and services. They consist of the cost of goods, freight, insurance, transportation, travel, royalties, licence fees, and other services like government, financial, informational, communication, construction, and other related fields. They do not include transfer payments, investment income (formerly known as factor services), or employee remuneration.

The graph shows a gradual increase in the amount Italy exports from the year of 2012 to 2019 up until the time of the pandemic when the exports fell. Italy exports by the end of  2020 was $558.92B, a 12.07% decline from 2019 . Italy exported a total of €454.7 billion. Metals and metal products (13%), and precision machinery (18%), are Italy's two top exports. It is also a well-known exporter of automobiles, textiles, and footwear. Regarding exports, Italy is ranked tenth in the world. In comparison to 2019, exports decreased by roughly 7.3% in 2020 (€421.8 billion in July) as a result of the pandemic. Consumer goods, which include both durables and non-durables, were negatively impacted (-3.8%). Additionally severely impacted were capital goods (-5.4%) and intermediate products (-9.8%). Italy's biggest commercial partners, the UK (-9.5%), Germany (-5.3%), France (-6.1%), and the US (-5.4%) saw a fall in exports.

GNI GROWTH RATE

Gross National Income (GNI) is the sum of all the money that a country's citizens and enterprises have made. It is used to gauge and chart a country's wealth through time. As a measure of wealth, gross national income (GNI) is an alternative to gross domestic product (GDP). In place of output, income is calculated. GNI measures the overall revenue that a country's citizens and businesses have generated, including investment income, regardless of where that income was generated. It also includes funds obtained from overseas, such as grants for economic growth and international investments.

Italy's GNI growth rate has been averaging around 1% annually in recent years, which is comparatively slow. The nation's GNI growth rate has been impacted by economic difficulties such high levels of debt, sluggish economic growth, and high unemployment. However, due to governmental changes and economic measures intended to spur growth, the rate has been gradually improving in recent years. The broad lockdowns and limitations implemented to stop the virus's transmission resulted in a substantial reduction in economic activity, which decreased the nation's GNI.The epidemic particularly hard-hit Italy's service sector, which makes up a substantial share of the country's economic activity. Reduced consumer spending, business closures, and interruptions to global supply systems all contributed to a decline in the GNI during the year of 2020. The pandemic had a devastating effect on the nation's tourism industry, which is a vital source of income. Many tourists postponed their travel plans. As a result, there was a deficiency in the amount of foreign currency entering the economy. Structural reforms such as labour market reforms, pension reforms have helped boost growth, investments in public infrastructure has provided economic activity to the people resulting in flow of cash within the economy and tax cuts especially for business to enopurage investment are some of the measures the government took that has helped increase the GNI of the country .

INFLATION GDP DEFLATOR

The increase A gauge of an economy's price level and how it has changed over time is the GDP deflator. It is measured as the difference between nominal GDP and real GDP, which represents the value of goods and services generated in an economy at current prices (the value of goods and services produced in an economy valued at constant prices).

In recent years, the inflation GDP deflator in Italy has been between 1 and 2 percent annually. However, a number of variables, including monetary policy, global commodity prices, and shifts in consumer behaviour, have an impact on the rate of inflation. Due to disruptions in the supply chain and changes in consumer spending habits, the COVID-19 pandemic has also had an impact on Italy's inflation rate.

The Italian government's response to the epidemic, which included monetary policy changes and fiscal stimulus measures, has also helped to lower inflation. Prices have decreased, and the GDP deflator has decreased as a result of the government's attempts to support the economy and the pandemic's effects on demand and supply.

 CONSUMER PRICE INDEX

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) tracks variations in the cost of a variety of household-consumed goods and services.

The CPI in Italy has an increasing overall trend from 2012 to 2021, while there were notable variations in the rate of increase.The Italian CPI's annual growth rate was generally consistent from 2012 to 2016, averaging between 1% and 2%. The pace of rise rose to roughly 1.5% to 2% in 2017 and 2018.The COVID-19 epidemic and the global economic recession, however, had an adverse effect on the Italian economy in 2019 and 2020, which decreased consumer spending and, in turn, the rate at which the CPI increased. The Italian CPI increased at an annual rate of -0.2% in 2020.The rate of growth in the Italian CPI improved to 1.3% in 2021 as consumer spending increased and the economy began to recover from the pandemic.

Life Expectancy AT BIRTH

Based on current age-specific death rates, life expectancy is the average number of years a person can anticipate to live. From 2012 to 2021, Italy's life expectancy increased on average.

The life expectancy in Italy grew from from 82 years to 83 years between 2012 and 2016. In 2017 and 2018, this trend persisted, and the average age of death rose to about 83 years.The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted Italy's life expectancy in 2019 and 2020, resulting in a brief drop in life expectancy as a result of higher mortality rates.

Italy's life expectancy started to rise in 2021 as vaccination rates increased and COVID-19 cases and deaths dropped. Preliminary data indicate that life expectancy may perhaps have increased somewhat from the previous year. Overall, Italy's life expectancy has increased over the years as a result of advancements in healthcare and medical technology. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has briefly lowered Italy's life expectancy, highlighting the need of responding to public health emergencies to protect and improve population health.

Opportunity Costs and Changes in Preferences during the Pandemic. 

Maanasa Panuganti (mpanugan@uci.edu)

ID: 69368204

Wednesday 5pm

Introduction: 

On March 13, 2020, the unexpected had happened. After hearing about individuals being affected by coronavirus around the world, the panic had finally gotten to my hometown. Prior to  March 13, rumors that the school was closing were flying around, but I didn’t believe them. How could school, which has been a daily constant in almost every student’s life, just close down? The change was too big for me to even imagine. However, as the situation got worse, the unthinkable rumors seemed more and more likely to happen. Eventually, we got the news that our school would close for the time being. Although it was only a two week break back then, March 13, 2020 would be the day that everyone’s daily life was turned upside down. 

So school moved online, and since not much was known about the virus, we tried not to leave the house as much as possible. Transitioning from a high school student that went to school all day and spent hours studying to being quarantined in my room required giving up some things in order to cope with the pandemic. 

Opportunity Costs I faced during the Pandemic: 

The opportunity cost of a good is whatever is given up to get the good. An example is giving up 1 pringle for 3 goldfish. The opportunity cost of the pringle is 3 goldfish. During the pandemic, I, just like many other individuals, had to give up certain aspects of my life in order to accommodate the pandemic life and prioritize safety. The first opportunity cost was the opportunity cost of fast food, including all my unhealthy favorites, such as pizza, boba, french fries, and more. As a result of not going outside, I was forced to give up all that and eat homemade food instead. The opportunity cost of buying and eating fast food is buying groceries and cooking healthier food. Another opportunity cost I faced was going to the gym. For the gym, I would pay a monthly membership and spend a few hours a week working out. However, during the pandemic, I saved the monthly membership fee and did home workouts instead. Instead of going to the gym and paying the monthly membership fee, I committed to home workouts. Therefore, the opportunity cost of going to the gym was the membership fee as well as the time spent committing to my new home workout. Another aspect of the pandemic was the lack of human interaction that came with isolating. Instead of spending time with friends, I made up for this surplus in free time by going on Tiktok or Netflix. In this case, the opportunity cost of spending time with friends and socializing is the time spent on my phone or laptop watching videos or television. 

How the pandemic affected my baskets:

The pandemic brought with it a new fear of germs and a desire for cleanliness, and this showed in receipts. The baskets that we bought at the supermarket changed by keeping all the old goods in the basket, such as food and basic necessities, and adding masks, hand sanitizer, soap, and other disinfectants to keep germs from spreading. Since these goods became a necessity in the post-pandemic era, consumers would get less of their regular pre-pandemic goods in order to remain inside their budget constraint. In addition, prices during the pandemic increased, which means people’s baskets included less quantities of their all goods.  So, after the pandemic, consumer baskets would include less goods because prices have risen, and less of their original pre-pandemic goods because their baskets now include pandemic items with a slightly smaller budget constraint. Both the pre-pandemic and post-pandemic baskets are shown in the graph below. 

Staying home to keep safe from the virus also caused an increase in screen time. Some of the services that we used were streaming sites such as Netflix, Amazon for products, better wifi (since school and other events were online), and fitness apps (for at home workouts). Since the demand for these services increased, they would have a higher equilibrium quantity and a higher equilibrium price. The equilibrium point is where the supply curve and the demand curve meet. Since more consumers purchased a Netflix membership during the pandemic, Netflix has to increase quantity in order to serve the increased demand. Since they had more consumers, their revenue started going up as well. 

During the pandemic, many firms went out of business because they lost consumers. On the other hand, firms that had online products gained a lot of customers and revenue. It’s unbelievable how this unexpected situation had such a huge impact on our economy. However, new firms are being created and markets are being rebuilt, and soon, the pandemic will be an event of the past.
