SUMMARY:Seminario académico UNAB-UAH 2022- Invitado: Eugenio Rojas\, University of Florida
DESCRIPTION:La Facultad de Economía y Negocios de la Universidad Alberto Hurtado en conjunto con la Facultad de Economía y Negocios de la Universidad Andrés Bello\, tienen el agrado de invitarte a un nuevo Seminario Académico de Economía 2022. \nEn esta ocasión Eugenio Rojas\, Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Florida\, presentará su trabajo «A Macroeconomic Model of Healthcare Saturation\, Inequality & the Output-Pandemia Tradeoff». \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract: \nCOVID-19 became a global health emergency when it threatened the catastrophic collapse of health systems as demand for health goods and services and their relative prices surged. Governments responded with lockdowns and increases in transfers. Empirical evidence shows that lockdowns and healthcare saturation contribute to explain the cross-country variation in GDP drops even after controlling for COVID-19 cases andmortality. We explain this output-pandemia tradeoff as resulting from a shock to subsistence health demand that is larger at higher capital utilization in a model with entrepreneurs and workers. The health system moves closer to saturation as the gap between supply and subsistence narrows\, which worsens consumption and income inequality. An externality distorts utilization\, because firms do not internalize that lower utilization relaxes healthcare saturation. The optimal policy response includes lockdowns and transfers to workers. Quantitatively\, strict lockdowns and large transfer hikes can be optimal and yield sizable welfare gains because they prevent a sharp rise in inequality. Welfare and output costs vary in response to small parameter changes or deviations from optimal policies. Weak lockdowns coupled with weak transfers programs are the worst alternative and yet are in line with what several emerging and least developed countries have implemented. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCONÉCTATE AQUÍ
