Economic Analysis and Policy before, during and after a Public Debt Crisis, a Pandemic and an Inflationary Outburst - Hardcover

by Angeliki N. Menegaki (Guest Editor)

This Special Issue brings together twelve original contributions that examine key challenges in economic analysis and policy arising before, during, and after major systemic shocks, including public debt crises, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent inflationary surge. The selected papers address a wide range of themes, such as macroeconomic stability, monetary and fiscal policy, financial markets, inequality, institutional quality, and sustainable growth, using both theoretical and advanced empirical approaches. Several studies focus on emerging and developing economies, while others explore regional and global perspectives, highlighting heterogeneity in economic responses to shocks. Collectively, the contributions offer insights into the transmission mechanisms of crises, policy effectiveness under uncertainty, and the structural factors shaping resilience and recovery. The Special Issue also reflects the scholarly breadth and interdisciplinary orientation that characterize the academic field of Economic Analysis and Policy and aims to serve as a reference point for researchers and policymakers interested in contemporary economic challenges.
