Abstract

En este documento se ofrecen algunas reflexiones sobre el diseño de las políticas necesarias para paliar los efectos económicos de la pandemia del COVID-19. Estas han de tratar de minimizar los costes económicos y sociales de la crisis, siguiendo un enfoque realista de second best que busque sacar el mayor provecho posible de los escasos recursos disponibles, concentrándolos donde los beneficios son mayores. En la primera parte de la crisis, los objetivos prioritarios han de ser los de garantizar la liquidez de las empresas y mantener niveles adecuados de renta en las familias. Se destaca que, tan importante como el diseño de estas políticas es la agilidad de su puesta en marcha. Para facilitar una respuesta rápida, se sugiere poner el énfasis en los controles ex post en vez de los tradicionales controle ex ante.
