Governments’ Economic Responses to COVID-19 (Econ-Response2covid19), Global, 2020-2021

Check out SBE CCC’s newest data release and first global dataset in the archive. The Econ-Response2covid19 dataset tracked governments’ economic responses to COVID-19 all around the world. The dataset is at the country-level and covers the January 2020 – June 2021 period. The measures coded include fiscal measures (wage support, cash transfers, in-kind transfers, tax cuts, sectorial support and credit schemes), tax deferrals, off-budget measures, and main policy rate cuts. The data can be used to study the impact of economic measures on different outcomes, and to understand the diffusion of economic policies during crises.
