Commentary Series: Contributions to Public Debate
The Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics (SJES) launches a series of Commentaries that contribute to public debate in Switzerland and beyond. The series will consist of a small number of papers written by distinguished economists with a strong profile in public debate. The SJES welcomes suggestions for new contributions to the Commentary section. Please do not submit manuscripts for the Commentary section before you have received approval from the editorial board that the suggested Commentary is of interest to the SJES. Decisions will be made by the SJES Editorial Board. Email addresses can be found in the contact section of the journal website.

Swiss Journal of Economics and Statistics: Special Focus on Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic presents a great challenge for health policy, but also for economic policy more broadly. The only remedy so far has involved confinement of substantial parts of the population to ensure appropriate levels of social distance. These necessary measures carry a substantial economic cost, with early data showing an unprecedented contraction in economic activity. In these massively changing times, economists can contribute to shaping the debate. The SJES has prepared a collection of submissions that analyze the disease and its impact on the economic and health situation, propose ways to mitigate economic consequences, or discuss ways to return to normal life, among others. Read the collection on Covid-19 here.
Special Issue on ‘Digital Transformation’
The digital transformation affects many aspects of private and public lives, including how we make private and political decisions.
