Economic Impacts of the 1918 Influenza Pandemic
I posted this in the other thread earlier but here it is again. I am trying to use this and other research as a way to think about how this could affect financial markets. We really have no other period prior to 1918-20 to compare the effects of a truly global pandemic and how markets and governments react. There are so many differences but some insight can be gained by looking at the effects on the economy back then and applying it to what is going on today.
