Financial, Socio-Economic, Environmental and Public Health Patterns of Creating Regional Roadmaps to Prevent the Spread of the Covid-19 Epidemic

Abstract

The paper summarised arguments and counterarguments within the scientific discussions on the financial, socio-economic, environmental, and public health patterns of creating regional roadmaps to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic. The main goals of the paper were to develop the regional anti-epidemiological road map with markers using the instruments of differential calculus. The results of the analysis of the core health care (financial, social, economic, and ecological) determinants which justified the regional differentiation on vulnerabilities of the population of Ukraine from COVID-19 showed that they were based on the findings of other countries and did not consider the national and regional specifics. Methodological instruments were differential calculus of nonlinear equations, which allowed determining the critical values (markers) for each factor, which formalise the «weaknesses» and «bottleneck» of the region in terms of responding to future epidemiological threats. All regions of Ukraine and the city of Kyiv were selected as the object of research. The authors developed the roadmaps for future anti-epidemiological measures for each region of Ukraine. The results of the analysis could be useful for local governments to make informed decisions under existing powers and differentiated decisions to reduce social distancing, quarantine, suspension of economic facilities, changes in financial budgets, etc., considering the differences of each region on public health factors, social, ecological, and economic determinants.

Consumer behavior in digital era: impact of COVID 19

“…In general, a lot of scientists explore actual questions about influence healthcare on economy and consumer behavior. It was Us et al (2020), Vasylieva et al (2020), Bilan et al (2021), Rudenko et al (2020), Yelnikova and Kwilinski (2020) and others. A lot of them showed actual people problem in didgital era during COVID-19, some of them are Carnevale and Hatak (2020), Dutta et al (2020), Bai et al (2020), Saher et al (2020), Donthu and Gustafsson (2020).…”

Public Health System Economic Efficiency and COVID-19 Resilience: Frontier DEA Analysis

“…In particular, studies that look for strengths and weaknesses, such as those related to the construction of public healthcare systems that made it possible to counteract the consequences of the pandemic effectively, have become popular. For example, studied the behavioral intentions of the population to get vaccinated and predicted the consequences of the speed of the spread of the virus [ 5 ]; looked in detail at tools that help increase the effectiveness of public health in EU countries [ 6 ]; in researchers developed road maps for possible future epidemiological threats to ensure public health at a sufficient level [ 7 ]; while investigating the problem of child mortality, identified a particular set of stabilizers in the organization of health care [ 8 ]; considered the role of mass media in covering the actual situation with the pandemic [ 9 ]; saw a relationship between the duration and severity of quarantine on the one hand, and the speed of disease spread on the other [ 10 ]; examined the degree of protection of doctors against diseases while working with patients [ 11 ]; came to the conclusion that due to the additive economy, namely the increase in production efficiency, it is possible to achieve a reduction in social risks, including in the medical field [ 12 ].…”
