Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The COVID-19 crisis is a global economic depression that has erupted against the background of a pandemic. This Special Issue focuses on the risks associated with the COVID-19 outbreak and the search for risk management solutions to accelerate the recovery from the global depression and mitigate its effects.
This Special Issue welcomes applied research related to the collection, systematisation, processing and analysis of data through the creation and use of datasets on the risks of COVID-19 in economics, finance and business. The value of large-scale (globally scoped) empirical research based on datasets lies in the creation of high-precision econometric models that allow identifying the risks of the COVID-19 crisis that are common to the countries of the world and develop universal applied risk management solutions in order to unite the efforts of the global community in the fight against with the socio-economic consequences of the virus threat.
In this Special Issue, it is also planned to pay attention to the characteristics of risks in countries of different categories (for example, by income level, by geographical location, by participation in the processes of economic integration and globalisation), as well as the development of various risk management measures that take these characteristics into account.
Topics covered in this Special Issue (but not limited to) include:
- Risks of economic growth and development, in particular, the risks of the rate of economic growth slowing down, a reduction in exports, an increase in dependence on imports, deepening regional inequality, as well as managing these risks by increasing economic freedom and openness of the economy, optimising state budget revenues and expenditures, as well as the development of the digital economy;
- Entrepreneurial and corporate risks, including risks of investments, innovations, tax risks, as well as methods and approaches to risk management through integration, improved management of various types of resources, as well as automation and digital transformation of business processes;
- Social risks, including the risks of unemployment, the transition to remote employment and the development of new (for example, digital) competencies, as well as the possibility of managing these risks through reducing inequality, increasing the availability of education, expanding social guarantees and social support, as well as developing the information society.
