The long-term economic effects of pandemics: toward an evolutionary approach
系统回顾了大流行长期经济后果的经济学和历史学分析，指出主流经济学关注生产要素影响但结论矛盾，历史学关注制度冲击，而演化经济学能整合历史与生物学特征，为理解现象和制定政策提供新理论基础。
Abstract COVID-19 has brought to the forefront of academic debates the consequences of pandemics and their appropriate policy responses. Using the PRISMA methodology, we provide a comprehensive review of the economic and historical analysis of the long-term economic consequences of pandemics. Mainstream economists focus on the impact of pandemics on production factors, finding a rich but contrasting set of mechanisms with overall negative or insignificant effects. Historians focus on the institutional impact, finding positive effects of pandemics when they trigger new socioeconomic arrangements. Evolutionary economists can integrate into the economic debate both historical elements and the complex biological characteristics of pandemics. We argue that the evolutionary approach provides new and fertile theoretical foundations to understand the phenomenon and develop effective policies.
