Abstract
The chapter reviews the policies that have been adopted in the EU/Eurozone to mitigate the macroeconomic impact of the pandemic, including Next Generation EU. It also develops the case for an alternative approach in which, at least in the Eurozone, ex-post risk-sharing (whereby the EU funds transfers to the most hard-hit countries) is replaced with a system of ex-ante risk-sharing built into the governance framework of the Eurozone—with an essential role for a single safe asset. The chapter tentatively quantifies the differences in impact responses between these two approaches in the face of the pandemic shock, using a stylised calibrated macroeconomic model for the Eurozone.
