“…The selection of operational time and population is justified by their capacity to elucidate activity duration and intensity, respectively. Additionally, weather variables have been included due to their impact on EC, as explained by a previous study ( 28 ). Temperature variables dictate the extent of energy required for temperature regulation within a space.…”

IntroductionEconomic loss estimation is critical for policymakers to craft policies that balance economic and health concerns during pandemic emergencies. However, this task is time-consuming and resource-intensive, posing challenges during emergencies.MethodTo address this, we proposed using electricity consumption (EC) and nighttime lights (NTL) datasets to estimate the total, commercial, and industrial economic losses from COVID-19 lockdowns in the Philippines. Regression models were employed to establish the relationship of GDP with EC and NTL. Then, models using basic statistics and weather data were developed to estimate the counterfactual EC and NTL, from which counterfactual GDP was derived. The difference between the actual and the counterfactual GDP from 2020 to 2021 yielded economic loss.ResultsThis paper highlights three findings. First, the regression model results established that models based on EC (adj-R2 ≥ 0.978) were better at explaining GDP than models using NTL (adj-R2 ≥ 0.663); however, combining both EC and NTL improved the prediction (adj-R2 ≥ 0.979). Second, counterfactual EC and NTL could be estimated using models based on statistics and weather data explaining more than 81% of the pre-pandemic values. Last, the estimated total loss amounted to 2.9 trillion PhP in 2020 and 3.2 trillion PhP in 2021. More than two-thirds of the losses were in the commercial sector as it responded to both policies and the COVID-19 case surge. In contrast, the industrial sector was affected primarily by the lockdown implementation.DiscussionThis method allowed monitoring of economic losses resulting from long-term and large-scale hazards such as the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings can serve as empirical evidence for advocating targeted strategies that balance public health and the economy during pandemic scenarios.

“…Recently, online surveys have become recognised as an efficient tool, and have been used to adjust and adapt the research to the current Covid-19 related pandemic situation; and to gather data in a faster, easier and more sustainable way (Bayudan-Dacuycuy, Orbeta Jr, Serafica, & Baje, 2020;Berg, Furrer, Harmon, Rani, & Silberman, 2018). In this context, an online survey clearly cannot directly measure a person's response to the taste or textural differences between foods.…”

In recent years, in the pre-pandemic period, offline marketplaces are popular, and in the post-pandemic period, online marketplaces are becoming more popular. During the quarantine restriction, many enterprises began to adapt to online sales. The enterprise that was able to adapt remained active in the economy, and enterprises that were unable to adapt went bankrupt. Within the framework of this issue, the aim of the research article was to analyze the specifics of the interaction of Kazakhstani women entrepreneurs in online shopping. In the course of the study, in addition to scientific methods, the interviewing method was used. The interview was attended by 29 businesswomen from Almaty city. The business areas of women engaged in entrepreneurship included such areas as the trade in adult clothing, the sale of fabrics, fashion salons, and the sale of Korean cosmetics. The purpose of the interview is to identify the reasons, and features of the work of Kazakhstani women on online marketplaces and identify the advantages and disadvantages of trading on offline marketplaces. The results of the interview can be used to achieve efficiency in organizing the work of the online marketplace. In addition, knowing the views of women, the potential of women in the regions of the state can be used to formulate policies aimed at developing the economy. That is, with the help of online work of women, it is necessary to influence the unemployment rate in the regions, and increase the source of income and other quality of life.
