New model simulates COVID-19 socio-economic effects in Helsinki

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed an extended mathematical model, the BTH--SEIRS-model, to simulate the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in urban areas. This model specifically analyzes mobility reduction and its effects on infection rates and economic activity. Using data from Helsinki, Finland, including mobile phone mobility data, public transport information, and accommodation rates, the model accurately reflects real-world infection data and economic trends. The study highlights how the pandemic's behavior differs across spatial scales and identifies factors influencing daily commuting patterns. AI

IMPACT This research provides a framework for understanding the complex interplay between public health measures and socio-economic outcomes during pandemics.

    Modelling socio-economic effects of the pandemic in a metropolitan area

    One of the most notorious measures taken by authorities in every country trying to prevent the uncontrollable spread of the Covid 19 pandemic was to impose severe measures to diminish the mobility of people. In recent publications we proposed a mathematical model to address the c…
