Abstract

Nach Schätzungen des ifo Instituts werden die volkswirtschaftlichen Kosten der wegen der Corona-Epidemie erfolgenden partiellen Stilllegung der Wirtschaft bei einer Shutdown-Dauer – je nach zugrunde gelegtem Szenario – von zwei Monaten zwischen 255 und 495 Mrd. Euro betragen. Die Wachstumsrate des BIP wird zwischen 7,2 und 11,2 Prozentpunkten sinken. Bei drei Monaten erreichen die Kosten bereits 354 bis 729 Mrd. Euro. Am Arbeitsmarkt könnten bis zu 1,8 Mio. sozialversicherungspflichtige Arbeitsplätze abgebaut werden und mehr als 6 Mio. Arbeitnehmer von Kurzarbeit betroffen sein.
