Predictive models overlook broader impacts of crisis response
Predictive models fail to consider the wider impacts of crisis response, such as aligning interests, promoting swift action, and lubricating decision-making. While models may predict outcomes based on stimulus and interventions like vaccines, they often overlook the important role of crisis-induced decisions and the need for such responses to be factored into assessments by decision-makers and analysts. Structural econometric models may forecast a quick recovery with massive government support during a crisis, but they risk missing the crucial aspect of judgment in anticipating and executing such policy responses.
