Abstract
As a life-threatening disease, COVID-19 has severely disrupted socio-economic activities and prompted massive state interventions. Medical scientific expertise has simultaneously assumed critical importance as a means to comprehend the properties of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the search for therapeutic and curative treatments. However, the pandemic also invites us to ask how health economics can contribute to our response and future resilience. Does the pandemic rep- resent a ‘health economics moment’? This is one of the questions we investigate in this chapter.
