COVID-19 research outcomes: An agenda for future research

This paper undertakes a survey of the COVID-19 pandemic literature. I find that stock market performance, COVID-19 policies and energy markets are most researched. I reason that this is because of availability of relatively high-frequency time-series data supported by appropriate econometric tools. I discuss a range of socioeconomic- and finance-related subjects of significant policy importance. In so doing, I identify specific and broad areas in need of immediate research. These future research topics have strong policy importance. (C) 2021 Economic Society of Australia, Queensland. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
