COVID-19: efectos económicos y políticas públicas para enfrentar la crisis

Thirty-six professors, students and researchers from the Faculty of Economic Sciences and the Centro de Investigaciones para el Desarrollo (CID) of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and other institutions joined together to try to reflect on the pandemic and the unexpected decision to lockdown, and its short- and medium-term economic and social consequences. In this case, our experience has been to understand economic and business cycles, adverse situations such as violence or wars, and analyses of previous crises, whether relatively close to the one that struck Colombia at the end of the 20th century or the now distant crisis of the 29. Thus, we come together to address the economic effects and social policies associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. This document is the product of that effort and brings together the 21 documents that were published in the alliance with El Espectador. In some cases, it is the same text, in others it is expanded.
