Abstract
Prior to the Covid-19 crisis, the integration of epidemiology and economics that is, economic epidemiology modelling (epi-econ) in literature was relatively limited. The first fully integrated general equilibrium model, (Goenka et al., 2014) was published in the Journal of Mathematical Economics (JME). The emergence of the Covid-19 crisis has prompted an unprecedented surge in the epi-econ literature. The JME has actively contributed to this area by publishing a special issue on epi-econ modelling (Volume 93) and publishing papers within this area. This survey primarily explores these JME papers along these lines: macroeconomics and policy, microeconomics and economic behavior, and mathematical advances. The survey looks ahead to some emerging areas in this literature.
