James K. Galbraith Comment on Comparing COVID-19 Control in the Asia-Pacific and North Atlantic Regions
James K.Galbraith, Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, The University of Texas at Austin: This is a useful paper in several respects. It brings together available comparative information in a compact and accessible way, and confirms by statistical summary what epidemiologists and common sense already knew, that the least-cost way to suppress the coronavirus is to break the chain of transmission by effective social distancing, since person-to-person transmission at short range through the air is the major vector of infections. This is the main message of the paper; it is not news but reinforcement, which in a moment of global emergency is what the situation requires.1
期刊介绍:
The journal Asian Economic Papers (AEP) is supported by several prominent institutions, including the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University in the United States. This shows that there is a strong emphasis on sustainable development within the journal's scope. Additionally, the Korea Institute for International Economic Policy in South Korea, the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) in Malaysia, and the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia in Indonesia also sponsor AEP. The articles published in AEP focus on conducting thorough and rigorous analyses of significant economic issues pertaining to specific Asian economies or the broader Asian region. The aim is to gain a deeper understanding of these issues and provide innovative solutions. By offering creative solutions to economic challenges, AEP contributes to the discourse and policymaking that impact the Asian economies and region as a whole.
