Corona virus research networks for economists

Corona virus, and the lockdowns and other policies it elicits, are attracting considerable attention from economists.  Below are some efforts to coordinate these research activities.

Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) is sponsoring the:
SSE CORONA ECONOMIC RESEARCH NETWORK

"The SSE Corona Economic Research Network (SSE-CERN) brings together researchers in economics and other disciplines that conduct research or policy work related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The network aims to stimulate research related to Covid-19, for example by communicating research and policy ideas and by organizing webinars. We also provide a list of research questions that we believe need to be answered and links to useful material about Covid-19."

David Levine at the European University Institute (EUI) is coordinating a site for
COVID 19 RESEARCH 
Researchers collaborating for the endgame of the pandemic.

"Statement of Purpose: The purpose of this group is to draw on the talents and technical expertise of researchers to provide cost benefit analysis of mitigation measures and policy recommendations to be adopted, particularly for the endgame. The aim is to provide a conduit through which research can flow: matching expertise with questions and taking advantage of economies of scale to establish a credible organization that will be taken seriously by policy makers. The disease is international and so are we."

And the European Economic Association is maintaining a List of Projects on corona virus related topic.
