We analyze the optimal lockdown in an economic–epidemic model with realistic infectiveness distribution. The model is described by Volterra integral equations and accurately depicts the COVID-19 infectivity pattern from clinical data. A maximum principle is derived, and a qualitative dynamic analysis of the optimal lockdown problem is provided over finite and infinite horizons. We analytically prove and economically justify the possibility of an endemic scenario when the infection rate begins to climb after the lockdown ends.

“…This Special Issue of Journal of Public Economic Theory is a follow‐up on Issue 24‐5 (for a summary of its contributions, see Amir & Boucekkine, 2022), both issues being dedicated to the economics of epidemics, vaccines, and associated health policies. The present special issue includes seven original and carefully selected articles, some of which are pioneering within the recent COVID‐19‐induced, epidemics‐related economics literature.…”
