As a contribution to the ongoing worldwide economic research on epidemics in general and on the current Covid‐19 pandemic in particular, the Journal of Public Economic Theory is inviting submissions related to the numerous public economics issues acutely raised by the current health crisis.

The following topics are clearly of interest (but consideration will not be exclusively limited to these):

• Normative versus positive foundations of epidemic control policies;

• Optimal design of health systems in the face of epidemic uncertainty;

• Network diffusion of epidemics and epidemic control on networks;

• Game‐theoretic frameworks for the analysis of epidemic diffusion and epidemic control;

• Private and social incentives for prevention and containment.

Submitted papers need not be fully theoretical, although as per usual JPET guidelines, a significant theoretical component is expected for publication.

Timeline:

• Submission deadline: August 1, 2021.

• Publication of the special issue: 2022.

特刊：Covid和其他大流行病的经济学

为了对正在进行的有关流行病的全球经济研究做出贡献，特别是对当前的Covid-19流行病进行研究，《公共经济理论杂志》邀请有关当前健康危机严重引发的众多公共经济学问题的投稿。

以下主题显然很有趣（但考虑不仅限于这些主题）：

• 流行病控制政策的规范基础与积极基础；

• 面对流行病不确定性的卫生系统的优化设计；

• 网络流行病的传播和网络上的流行病控制；

• 流行病扩散和流行控制分析的博弈论框架；

• 预防和遏制的私人和社会奖励措施。

提交的论文不必完全是理论性的，尽管按照通常的JPET指南，预计将有重要的理论成分发表。

时间表：

• 提交截止日期：2021年8月1日。

• 发行特刊：2022年。
