Abstract

Our audit of NIESR research has identified four specific strands that could have immediate impact on policy formation or understanding of the coronavirus crisis. These are the use of our world-leading econometric model to provide new analysis for HMG and other bodies; the roll out of two existing products which will enhance the economic impact of the virus in real time; application of recent work on the public understanding of economic and policy messages to the communication of government policy and application of our understanding of specific disadvantages groups to provide new analysis of the impact of the virus in less advantaged, deprived and migrant communities.
