The deadly coronavirus will be no different.<\/p>\n<p>The <a title=\"FED\" href=\"https:\/\/www.federalreservehistory.org\/essays\/great_depression\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">great depression<\/a> spurred a \u201cwaste not want not\u201d attitude that defined consumer patterns for decades. Hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic still haunts German policy.<\/p>\n<p>The Asia financial crisis left the region hoarding the world\u2019s biggest collection of foreign exchange. More recently, the 2008 global financial crisis drove a wedge through mature democracies that still reverberates, with workers suffering measly pay gains in the decade since.<\/p>\n<p>This time it\u2019s a public health emergency that\u2019s shaking up the world economy. In just a matter of weeks, people in affected areas have become accustomed to wearing masks, stocking up on essentials, canceling social and business gatherings, scrapping travel plans and working from home. Even countries with relatively few cases are taking many of those precautions.<\/p>\n<p>Traces of such habits will endure long after the virus lockdowns ease, acting as a brake on demand. On the supply side, international manufacturers are being forced to <a title=\"The Virus Is Interrupting Supply Chains From Watches to Lobsters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-02-22\/coronavirus-hobbles-supply-chains-from-watches-to-lobsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rethink<\/a> where to buy and produce their goods &#8212; accelerating a shift after the U.S.-China trade war exposed the risks of relying on one source for components.<\/p>\n<p>In the white-collar world, workplaces have amped up options for teleworking and staggered shifts &#8212; ushering in a new era where work from home is an increasing part of people\u2019s regular schedule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnce effective work-from-home policies are established, they are likely to stick,\u201d said Karen Harris, managing director of consultancy Bain\u2019s Macro Trends Group in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Universities stung by travel bans will diversify their foreign student base and schools will need to be better prepared to keep educating online when breakouts force their <span id=\"abd0f878-665b-11ea-97be-308d99722a50\">closure<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>The tourism sector is seeing the most <a title=\"Australia's China Reliance Backfires as Virus Fallout Spreads\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/features\/2020-02-26\/coronavirus-impact-hits-australia-most-china-reliant-economy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drastic<\/a> hit, with flights, cruises, hotels and the web of businesses who feed off the sector struggling. While tourists will no doubt be eager to explore the world and relax on a beach again, it may take some time before the industry that hires about one in 10 people recovers.<\/p>\n<p>The virus has also turned the economic policy outlook on a dime and created new priorities. Central banks are in emergency mode again, while governments are digging ever deeper to find money to prop up struggling sectors. Hygiene is soaring up government and corporate agendas &#8212; indeed, Singapore already plans to introduce mandatory cleaning standards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis outbreak is unprecedented in terms of its nature of uncertainty and associated social and economic impact,\u201d said Kazuo Momma, who used to be in charge of monetary policy at the <a title=\"Company Overview\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/quote\/8301:JP\">Bank of Japan<\/a>. Tighter borders controls, wider insurance coverage and lasting changes to working and commuting patterns will be just some of the micro-economic changes that will endure long after the virus, Momma says.<\/p>\n<p>In China, where the virus first erupted in Wuhan late last year, the top legislature has <a title=\"China Bans Trade, Consumption of Wild Animals to Counter Virus\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-02-24\/china-bans-trade-consumption-of-wild-animals-to-counter-virus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">already<\/a> imposed a total ban on trade and consumption of wild animals amid scientists\u2019 warnings that the deadly coronavirus migrated from animals to humans. Additional strict hygiene rules are expected that will accelerate a push by wary consumers to online shopping, similar to how the 2003 SARS outbreak changed shopping habits as people avoided the mall.<\/p>\n<p>Analysis by Bain &amp; Company found that China will see pronounced immediate changes in health care as more and more rudimentary checkups and transactions are conducted through online channels to avoid the risk of contamination in crowded waiting rooms and wards.<\/p>\n<p>Governments may spend much more on health care to avoid the massive cost associated with epidemics, according to a new <a title=\"BROOKINGS\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/research\/the-global-macroeconomic-impacts-of-covid-19-seven-scenarios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">paper<\/a> on the macroeconomic impact of the virus published by the Brookings Institution and co-authored by Warwick McKibbin and Roshen Fernando of the Australia National University.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe global community should have invested a great deal more on prevention in poor countries,\u201d McKibbin said. He was also co-author of a previous paper <a title=\"Economist Who Said SARS Cost $40 Billion Sees Bigger Hit Now (2)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2020-01-30\/economist-who-said-sars-cost-40-billion-sees-bigger-hit-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">that<\/a> estimated the 2003 SARS outbreak wiped <span class=\"\" data-value=\"40000000000\" data-original=\"$40 billion\" data-symbol=\"$\">$40 billion<\/span> off the world economy.<\/p>\n<p>Because no one knows how the virus will play out or what the final human and economic toll will be, economists caution against concrete predictions. It could be that much of the disruption will revert to normal activity once the outbreak is contained, according to Nobel laureate Edmund Phelps of <a title=\"Company Overview\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/quote\/321034Z:US\">Columbia University<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think most businesses and certainly the behemoths in the U.S. and elsewhere will not fail to go back to normal business practices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Economists like Paul Sheard, a senior fellow at Harvard University\u2019s Kennedy School, also caution that because no two economic shocks are the same, it\u2019s far from certain what legacy this one will leave.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"PAGANI\" href=\"https:\/\/www.eni.com\/assets\/documents\/biography-fabrizio-pagani_eng.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Fabrizio Pagani<\/a>, a former adviser to the Prime Minister of Italy, draws on previous shocks for guidance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe oil supply shock in the 70s led to the first efforts of energy conservation and efficiency,\u201d he said. \u201cThe demand shock determined by the great financial crisis was the rationale for a new, quite radical, regulatory framework across the banking and financial sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This time around, he expects changes to everything from online schooling and distance learning to industrial strategy as existing business models are reworked.<\/p>\n<p>A triple convergence of Brexit, the U.S. China trade war and now Covid-19 could reshape the world\u2019s manufacturing supply chains, according to <a title=\"USC\" href=\"https:\/\/sc.edu\/study\/colleges_schools\/moore\/directory\/murphree_michael.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Michael Murphree<\/a>, of the University of South Carolina\u2019s Darla Moore School of Business.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"JUDGE\" href=\"https:\/\/www.law.columbia.edu\/faculty\/kathryn-judge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Kathryn Judge<\/a>, a financial markets and regulation expert at Columbia University, says the U.S. banking crash of 2008 has left deep scars by fueling divisive politics and declining levels of home ownership. The current crisis, as nations around the world take emergency steps to shield citizens from coronavirus infection, will have an impact too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLong-brewing debates about how to revamp the U.S. health-care system might benefit from a renewed sense of urgency, enabling structural change,\u201d Judge said.<\/p>\n<p>How that plays out on the political stage will be key. Would-be Democratic nominee Joe Biden is pushing a plan that would build upon Barack Obama\u2019s Affordable Care Act. President Donald Trump, meantime, is downplaying the risk to the U.S. economy posed by the coronavirus and sought to cast blame for the pandemic at other countries for what he labeled a \u201cforeign virus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"CIGI\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cigionline.org\/person\/james-m-boughton\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">James Boughton<\/a>, who served for decades at the International Monetary Fund, including as the fund\u2019s historian, cites the collapse in South Korea and Indonesia as catalysts for change, provided governments act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly in a crisis are governments able to rally people to accept necessary but painful reforms,\u201d said Boughton. \u201cEvery crisis is also an opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><strong>Bloomberg<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"chart__container\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/toaster\/v2\/charts\/7157e6b903294e08a98e44fe653e1657.html?brand=business&amp;webTheme=default&amp;web=true&amp;hideTitles=true\" data-toaster-id=\"360150415\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every economic shock leaves a legacy.
