The objective of this workshop is to expose participants to studies examining the impact of Covid pandemic related events and policy decisions, such as government relief programs, credit and liquidity policies, lockdowns, etc, on firms’ policies, borrowing behavior of firms, liquidity in the financial market, consumers’ financial behaviors, etc. The workshop would mainly focus on the State-dependent effects of credit and liquidity policies on firm’s financial decisions, effects of leverage and liquidity on firms’ borrowing, investment, and credit spread during Covid 19, the differential impact of various policy decisions on firms’ financial behavior, assessing the relative costs and benefits of government policies, the impact of certain government policies on probabilities of default and the moderating factors, and how different policies may be more or less effective responses to different types of shocks. The workshop will also discuss economic factors that affect consumers’ borrowing decisions, impact of economic shocks and government relief programs on financial access to consumers during COVID-19 pandemic and its dynamics.
