Abstract

The recent pandemic, along with the pressing challenges of climate change and biodiversity loss, has led to increased recognition of the need for new forms of economic policy that prioritise people’s health and the environment. Macroeconomic policy includes fiscal and monetary policy. Fiscal policy involves choices around government revenue and spending and the balance between the two. Monetary policy includes setting interest rates and purchasing government securities or other assets. A wide range of such policies have been deployed following COVID-19. This article advocates complexity modelling as an innovative approach to study these policies given the multiple relevant mechanisms of effect. It then draws conclusions for future research priorities and public health action.
