Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic and its socio-economic impact are a turning point and are expected to play a decisive role in the coming years. While the main policy and academic debate is related to the field of health, the emerging economic implications are likely to have long-term detrimental effects upon employment. The crisis in the health sector entails serious economic turmoil, mainly due to unprecedented restrictive policies and lockdowns, with significant disruptions to economic activity and dire effects on employment. However, these impacts are not evenly distributed across space. The depth and strength of economic implications are geographically differentiated depending on the characteristics and dynamics of local and regional economies, highlighting the importance of space in their reading. The debate becomes particularly interesting when the economic impact on European Union (EU) countries is studied, observing the different footprint of the health and economic crisis across countries and regions, which despite being members of a single union, did not implement a common and unified strategy in handling the pandemic. Countries under study in this report include Cyprus, France, Spain, Greece, Italy, Malta, Croatia and Portugal.
