“…A report mentions that the global economy declined by 3.5% in 2020, representing a 6.9% loss relative to the 3.4% growth forecast in 2019 before the COVID-19 outbreak (Yeyati and Filippini, 2021). Studies comparing the economic impact of COVID-19 against other global financial crises either argue that the former is just as shocking as the latter (Allen-Coghlan and Varthalitis, 2020) or that the former is more severe in terms of its impact on economic activity (Li et al, 2021). Gunay and Can (2022) say that the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to the 2008 global financial crisis, induced a more severe globalized effect, including in terms of risk transmission in stock markets, resulting in stock market volatility.…”

COVID-19 has brought an unprecedented global economic burden. The widely held view is that, during times of economic crisis, there are reduced flows of foreign aid due to budgetary constraints. Although some countries’ actions seem aligned with this perspective, others, including South Korea, have acted counter-intuitively. South Korea has implemented health-related diplomacy, initiating the Agenda for Building Resilience against COVID-19 through the Development Cooperation (ABC) program. This program provides countries with COVID-19 diagnosis kits, personal protective equipment, such as masks, and health-related capacity for building and development projects. We attempt to understand the behavior of donors in the crisis context and, thus, examine South Korea as a representative case. Using South Korean health-related diplomacy as our case study, we show that South Korea has considered both its interests and recipients’ needs. Furthermore, a quantitative study with newly constructed data from the ABC program reveals that South Korea provides higher amounts of Official Development Assistance (ODA) via its ABC program to recipients with whom it enjoys close economic ties and with whom it has given higher amounts of ODA. The latter finding suggests a path-dependent act in foreign aid allocation.

“…This mismatch is also evident in rankings' disproportionate focus on research and the methods used to measure research excellence through citation and publication counts. This has led to concerns that exceptional attention to high-impact journals and impact factors is distorting research practice, with accusations of over/misinterpretation, misconduct and manipulation (Allen-Coghlan and Varthalitis, 2020;Anderson et al, 2020;Biagioli and Lippman, 2020). These concerns have been highlighted, inter alia, by the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (Ross, 2020) and the Leiden Manifesto (Calderon, 2018).…”

“…However, as already noted, the economic disruption arising from the Great Recession was not either as sudden or concomitant with widespread disruption to other areas of children’s lives as the pandemic. The government policy response was also quite different: tough austerity measures were used to counter the former, but the pandemic response was to increase government expenditure in an effort to support family incomes and keep businesses afloat [ 19 ].…”

The sudden health and economic crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic affords an opportunity to examine the impact of economic disruption to children and families. Any negative effects on the well-being of children are important to consider in relation to both short- and long-term outcomes. Using pre-pandemic and mid-pandemic waves of the longitudinal Growing Up in Ireland study, we examined whether the impact of economic disruption was equivalent for families who were (or were not) financially vulnerable pre-pandemic. We then investigated whether economic disruption was associated with a negative effect on the emotional well-being of 12-year-olds, and if there was evidence for such a negative effect being mediated through a lack of material resources or strain on family dynamics. Our results indicated that middle-income rather than lowest-income families experienced the most economic disruption, likely reflecting the sector-specific nature of business closures in the pandemic. Families who were financially vulnerable pre-pandemic were less likely to have had suitable resources for homeschooling. Both falls in income and strain in family relationships, such as arguing more with their parents, were associated with poorer scores on a measure of the child’s emotional well-being. The emergency income support payment introduced at the start of the pandemic appeared to have a protective effect on the association between family income loss and child well-being, which has wider implications for policy on child poverty.
