This repository has the Model and data that would assist countries analze the potential fiscal impact due to the economic downturn as a result of COVID-19.
The Model uses the response of countries during the 2008-09 financial crisis to estimate a response for the COVID-19 crisis. The response includes recovery time for revenue, spending and fiscal balance. It also analyzes the response for the different taxes. This information it is hoped would allow governments to better prepare for the crisis.
