The impact of COVID-19 on the operations and management of NGOs: resilience and recommendations | output | 1 | 77,330 | 66 | 231,581 |
Purpose The COVID-19 pandemic has made humanity contend with the negative footprint of its activities in which social justice, ecological integrity and economic stability are compromised. This study aims to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the operation and management of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Multiple case study research design was used in the study with interviews from 25 senior-level management staff of NGOs. Findings The analysis revealed that COVID-19 impacts NGOs both negatively and positively. Dominant among the negative impacts are a decline in health-seeking behaviours, low programme implementation, increased cost and wastages resulting from PPE, transition to virtual meetings, a decline in capacity building and staff burnout/pressure. However, some positive impacts include increased efficiency through the use of virtual innovations, peer-to-peer intervention through the establishment of networks, flexibility and prompt adaptation to the crisis, prudent management of available resources, etc. This research contributes to theory and practice. Research limitations/implications Conducting this research and recruiting participants at the height of COVID-19 in Nigeria, in adherence to the prevention guidelines, constituted a considerable limitation to the study. Practical implications Although the identified impact could be useful in framing operational policies and guidelines, the study highlights a salient future outlook with policy implications for both the governance of NGOs and the facilitation of sustainable development goals by the government. Originality/value Although researchers continue to explore the impact of COVID-19, none has considered the NGO sector, especially in developing countries, and with a focus on providing evidence-backed resilience practices for the future. | input | 2 | 77,330 | 66 | 231,582 |

Situation of the R&D Sector in Poland in the Face of the Current Crisis | output | 1 | 77,519 | 66 | 232,148 |
How has the current crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic affected R&D and innovation in Poland? Numerous international studies conducted after the Great Depression in 2008-2010 show a strong procyclicality of investments in R&D and innovation in companies: investments rise during the economic upturn and fall sharply during the crisis. This procyclicality is driven within firms both by internal financial resources and by differences in market incentives to innovate. It seems likely that the COVID-19 crisis caused financial weakness for many actors, having the most significant impact on the willingness or ability of smaller firms to support R&D and innovation. However, where firms are able to sustain these investments, evidence from the crisis a decade ago suggests that they will be more likely to survive, grow more strongly, and have higher profitability. Based on the analysis of the literature and macroeconomic data, this paper presents several recommendations that, if implemented by R&D actors, could help increase the efficiency of operations, even in times of crisis. © 2021 Kinga Karpińska, published by Sciendo. | input | 2 | 77,519 | 66 | 232,149 |

COVID-19 and energy: Influence mechanisms and research methodologies | output | 1 | 77,539 | 66 | 232,208 |
Considering the important role of energy in modern society, it is imperative to study the current situation and future development of energy under the influence of COVID-19. This paper identifies the current research hotspots, proposes future research directions accordingly, and summarizes the methodologies via a bibliometric analysis. Five research hotspots include COVID-19 and the changes of energy consumption, COVID-19 and the fluctuation of the energy market, COVID-19 and the development of renewable energy, COVID-19 and climate impacts caused by energy consumption, and COVID-19 and the energy policy. According to the influence mechanism of COVID-19 on each hotspot, the pandemic has exerted short-term influencs on energy consumption, energy price, and air pollution. Meanwhile, the pandemic could have a far-reaching impact on the renewable energy sector, climate, and energy policy. In addition, the main methodologies are reviewed, which indicate that regression analysis and scenario analysis are commonly used as the quantitative and qualitative methods, respectively. Moreover, given the nonlinear relations between the pandemic and energy, an artificial neural networks model is used to enhance the prediction efficiency of energy demand and price. Finally, policy implications for obtaining clean, low-carbon, safe, and efficient energy in the context of COVID-19 are proposed. | input | 2 | 77,539 | 66 | 232,209 |

Risk perception and determinants in small- and medium-sized agri-food enterprises amidst the COVID-19 pandemic: Evidence from Egypt | output | 1 | 77,589 | 66 | 232,358 |
AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT Abstract: The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted many activities along agri-food supply chains in developing countries and posed unprecedented challenges in particular to small and medium agri-food enterprises (SMEs). Drawing on a survey of 166 Egyptian agri-food SMEs, this study investigates differences in- and determinants of COVID-19 business risk perception among these enterprises. The empirical results showed that risk perception was highly asymmetric across geographical regions. Enterprises with longer cash flow coverage periods and higher values of total assets perceived significantly lower risk levels, as cash and assets functioned as a buffer against the impact of COVID-19. The findings of the study imply that the “just-in-time” approach and the absence of a proactive and preventative stance to risk management reduced the resilience of agri-food SMEs to the risks presented by the pandemic. Generally, enterprises that operate both in domestic and export markets perceived lower COVID-19 risks. Finally, the main export destination to which the surveyed enterprises export was a significant determinant of their risk perception. These findings could be useful to managers of agri-food businesses in terms of better understanding of risks and promotion of risk management practices. More so, they can help design effective policy interventions to mitigate the impacts of the pandemic on Egyptian agri-food SMEs and build up their resilience to future pandemics and shocks | input | 2 | 77,589 | 66 | 232,359 |

COVID-19, recovery policies and the resilience of EU ETS | output | 1 | 77,605 | 66 | 232,406 |
COVID-19 pandemic and its recovery bring opportunities and threats for global climate governance and further challenge climate related assets. In this study, we analyze the efficiency of government response policies and fiscal policies on green recovery by observing the variation characteristics of carbon allowance prices in the EU emission trading system (EU ETS). Using the OLS and threshold methods in the original time scales, we find that: (1) The EUA prices had an inverted U-shaped relationship with the number of new confirmed cases and deaths. (2) Government response policies had a better effect than fiscal policies when mitigating the negative impact of the pandemic. After decomposing and reconstructing the time series, the multiscale analysis indicates that: (3) The carbon price fluctuated in the short term with the increasing number of newly confirmed cases (or deaths) but gradually recovered due to the recovery policies. (4) Government response policies had a “stop-loss” effect in the short term, and then working alongside fiscal policies, sustained and promoted the development of the EU ETS and green recovery. In the post-COVID-19 era, we suggest the combination of various policies to convert the current health crisis into opportunities for climate change mitigation. | input | 2 | 77,605 | 66 | 232,407 |

Tourism recovery strategy against COVID-19 pandemic | output | 1 | 77,607 | 66 | 232,412 |
Travel is requisite for tourism activity, therefore, any factor that hinders traveling may have a profound impact on the tourism industry. This includes pandemics such as COVID-19. Therefore, it is important to have well thought out tourism crisis and disaster management (TCDM) to mitigate the impact and help with post-crisis recovery. This study uses a qualitative research method to examine the TCDM during the current crisis. Interviews were conducted and transcribed. The text-based data was analyzed using SPSS modeler 14.1 and results were discussed. The result indicates that open communication is a key to successfully combat pandemic and government-sponsored loans are crucial to the survival of tourism industry. Future research directions are also proposed. | input | 2 | 77,607 | 66 | 232,413 |

In this paper, I explore the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Canadian food processors. First, COVID-19 may have an impact on food processing economic activities because of supply and demand shocks. Second, the impact of COVID-19 on food processing may depend on the type of products and the size of the processors. The effects of measures taken by the government to flatten the epidemiological curve on the economic activities of the food processing sector are uncertain. This article is protected by copyright.

The pandemic of poverty, vulnerability, and COVID-19: Evidence from a fuzzy multidimensional analysis of deprivations in Brazil | output | 1 | 77,763 | 66 | 232,880 |
This paper aims to show how much and in which way people in Brazil are deprived in terms of indicators directly related to the capacity to prevent and recover from infection with COVID-19 We use the Alkire-Foster (AF) method and a fuzzy-set approach as complements to measure multidimensional poverty within the context of the coronavirus pandemic We propose two pandemic-specific indexes to account for the vulnerability related to the capacity to prevent infection with and to recover from the disease The outcomes reveal structural deprivations in the country and considerable inequality among regions and ethnic groups Rank correlation analyses suggest that the proposed indexes can trace the trends in increasing infection and a higher mortality rate in vulnerable regions Compared to headcount ratio results, the fuzzy measures have more precise outcomes and are better able to capture the evolution in mortality patterns Our empirical evidence offers an additional warning that the pandemic responses need to prioritize the most vulnerable groups and reinforces the need for coordinated national action | input | 2 | 77,763 | 66 | 232,881 |

The Past, Present, and Future of COVID-19: A Data-Driven Perspective | output | 1 | 78,065 | 66 | 233,786 |
Epidemics and pandemics have ravaged human life since time. To combat these, novel ideas have always been created and deployed by humanity, with varying degrees of success. At this very moment, the COVID-19 pandemic is the singular global health crisis. Now, perhaps for the first time in human history, almost the whole of humanity is experiencing some form of hardship as a result of one invisible pathogen. This once again entails novel ideas for quick eradication, healing and recovery, whether it is healthcare, banking, travel, education or any other. For efficient policy-making, clear trends of past, present and future are vital for policy-makers. With the global impacts of COVID-19 so severe, equally important is the analysis of correlations between disease spread and various socio-economic and environmental factors. Furthermore, all of these need to be presented in an integrated manner in real-time to facilitate efficient policy making. To address these issues, in this study, we report results on our development and deployment of a web-based integrated real-time operational dashboard as an important decision support system for COVID-19. In our study, we conducted data-driven analysis based on available data from diverse authenticated sources to predict upcoming consequences of the pandemic through rigorous modeling and statistical analyses. We also explored correlations between pandemic spread and important socio-economic and environmental factors. Furthermore, we also present how outcomes of our work can facilitate efficient policy making in this critical hour. | input | 2 | 78,065 | 66 | 233,787 |

Pricing Fairness in a Pandemic: Navigating Unintended Changes to Value or Cost | output | 1 | 78,189 | 66 | 234,158 |
The recent pandemic has caused many businesses to alter their offerings, at times providing inferior value to their customers or incurring higher costs. Many classes moved online, leading to a lower-value offering without significant cost reductions, and many firms adopted costly hygiene measures, such as stringent cleaning or reducing capacity to maintain social distancing. This article explores consumers’ fairness perceptions regarding pricing decisions made in response to unique scenarios caused by the pandemic. We present three key findings: (i) maintaining prices following a product downgrade is viewed as less fair than maintaining prices following an equivalent decrease in costs;(ii) price decreases following a product downgrade are viewed as more fair when positioned as passing on a cost saving rather than making up for decreased value;and (iii) price increases due to hygiene measures are perceived as more fair when they result from direct (compared with indirect) cost changes. | input | 2 | 78,189 | 66 | 234,159 |

Changes in sustainability priorities in organisations due to the COVID-19 outbreak: Averting environmental rebound effects on society | output | 1 | 78,244 | 66 | 234,323 |
The COVID-19 outbreak has affected societies and organisations in an unprecedented way. This has resulted in negative impacts to economic and social issues, but it is a "blessing in disguise" for environmental issues. This paper analyses how the outbreak has affected organisations' sustainability priorities. Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, such priorities were on the economic dimension followed by the environmental and social dimensions. A survey was sent to 11,657 organisations to analyse such changes, with a 5.60% response rate. The results show that for organisations, the main priority is now on the social dimension, followed by the economic one; however, the environmental dimension has suffered a negative impact in prioritisation, regardless of organisation type, country where they are based, organisation size, or the time they have been working on sustainability. We are currently facing an environmental conundrum, where air quality has improved and pollution has decreased in societies, but organisations are starting to neglect such environmental issues. The COVID-19 outbreak is an opportunity for organisations to better contribute to sustainability by ensuring that the efforts that have been undertaken in the last three decades are not forgotten, and that societies and organisations are better coupled to face such crises and avert rebound effects. | input | 2 | 78,244 | 66 | 234,324 |

Learning from Past Pandemic Governance: Early Response and Public-Private Partnerships in Testing of COVID-19 in South Korea | output | 1 | 78,245 | 66 | 234,326 |
How can political elites learn from the past to enhance sustainability of their leadership in a pandemic situation? In this article, we develop a theoretical framework of policy implementation that combines collaboration from public and private sectors (“Public-Private Partnership,” or PPP) to efficiently deal with urgent crises such as COVID-19. We explain the role of new institutions prompted by policy failure precedence (Time 1) that at a later time period (Time 2) allow for the activation of PPPs with the aim to extend the political life of incumbent leaderships. Specifically, we examine the case of South Korea, a country in which a prior case of MERS in 2015 (Time 1) had established new policies for pandemic governance. In 2020, such policies were activated by the incumbent leadership in order to contain COVID-19 (Time 2). In particular, for swift and effective management of the pandemic, the South Korean government utilized partnerships with the private sector to exponentially increase the amount of Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) testing. We apply Policy Feedback Theory to demonstrate the political effects of failed policy precedents and how the political outcomes again shape new policies in a dynamic and cyclical manner. Empirically, we conduct a content analysis of South Korea’s pharmaceutical sector in government procurement and exports of test-kits during the COVID-19 pandemic. We show that as the pandemic situation progressed, South Korea’s leader, who had been in danger of plummeting support to the extent that impeachment was discussed as a viable option, drastically shifted public opinion to achieve a landslide victory in general elections in April 2020. Our findings suggest that democratic governments, aware of precedents and wary of their fate in elections, are pressured to perform well in crisis management, and thus turn to rapidly mobilizing public and private means for survival. Such means are evidenced by the case of emergency use authorization (EUA) process for test-kits, in which “leapfrogging players” – up-and-coming innovators – that contribute to turning a pandemic crisis into an opportunity for sustainable leadership and for themselves. | input | 2 | 78,245 | 66 | 234,327 |

Policy Development for Pandemic Response Using System Dynamics: a Case Study on COVID-19 | output | 1 | 78,294 | 66 | 234,473 |
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has burdened several countries. Its high transmissibility and mortality rate have caused devastating impacts on human lives. This has led countries to implement control strategies, such as social distancing, travel bans, and community lockdowns, with varying levels of success. However, a disease outbreak can cause significant economic disruption from business closures and risk avoidance behaviors. This paper raises policy recommendations through a system dynamics modeling approach. The developed model captures relationships, feedbacks, and delays present in a disease transmission system. The dynamics of several policies are analyzed and assessed based on effectiveness in mitigating infection and the resulting economic strain. | input | 2 | 78,294 | 66 | 234,474 |

Louisiana Guestworker Health and Safety a Necessary Component of Health Equity: Lessons From the COVID-19 Pandemic | output | 1 | 78,299 | 66 | 234,488 |
Guestworkers are a critical labor component of many industries considered essential to U.S. infrastructure. Despite their essential role in the U.S. labor force, guestworkers are vulnerable to exploitative labor practices. The COVID-19 pandemic compounded guestworkers’ vulnerability to include a lack of public health protective measures in addition to longstanding labor abuses. The pandemic has created greater public health awareness about structural determinants of health inequities, such as unsafe and exploitative working conditions. As public health increases its focus on social and structural determinants of health, it can contribute to improved labor conditions for guestworkers. This article highlights guestworkers’ experiences in Louisiana's crawfish industry to demonstrate the marginalized role of guestworker labor in a major Louisiana industry. This article also examines local public health approaches that can bring attention and resources to labor issues. | input | 2 | 78,299 | 66 | 234,489 |

Lessons for climate policy from behavioral biases towards COVID-19 and climate change risks | output | 1 | 78,483 | 66 | 235,040 |
COVID-19 and climate change share several striking similarities in terms of causes and consequences. For instance, COVID-19 and climate change affect deprived and vulnerable communities the most, which implies that effectively designed policies that mitigate these risks may also reduce the widening inequalities that they cause. Both problems can be characterized as low-probability-high consequence (LP-HC) risks, which are associated with various behavioral biases that imply that individual behavior deviates from rational risk assessments by experts and optimal preparedness strategies. One could view the COVID-19 pandemic as a rapid learning experiment about how to cope more effectively with climate change and develop actions for reducing its impacts before it is too late. However, the ensuing question relates to whether the COVID-19 crisis and its aftermath will speed up climate change mitigation and adaptation policies, which depends on how individuals perceive and take action to reduce LP-HC risks. Using insights into behavioral biases in individual decisions about LP-HC risks based on decades of empirical research in psychology and behavioral economics, we illustrate how parallels can be drawn between decision-making processes about COVID-19 and climate change. In particular, we discuss six important risk-related behavioral biases in the context of individual decision making about these two global challenges to derive lessons for climate policy. We contend that the impacts from climate change can be mitigated if we proactively draw lessons from the pandemic, and implement policies that work with, instead of against, an individual's risk perceptions and biases. We conclude with recommendations for communication policies that make people pay attention to climate change risks and for linking government responses to the COVID-19 crisis and its aftermath with environmental sustainability and climate action. | input | 2 | 78,483 | 66 | 235,041 |

Quality Attributes of Hotel Services in Brazil and the Impacts of COVID-19 on Users' Perception | output | 1 | 78,569 | 66 | 235,298 |
The unprecedented crisis faced by the hotel industry due to the COVID-19 pandemic has brought about changes in guests' perceptions of service quality attributes. In view of the need to monitor this environment, this study is dedicated to identifying the main negative topics related to the quality of hotel services in Brazil and the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on guests' perception of these topics. For this purpose, a set of 866,048 online hotel reviews were collected from the Booking.com platform. Initially, data were analyzed through topic modeling to identify the attributes addressed by guests in their evaluations. Subsequently, an average comparison method was used to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the evaluation scores of each attribute. A total of 13 topics related to five attributes of hotel service quality were identified. The topics related to room cleaning and check-in were the most negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with the largest drops in average evaluation scores. | input | 2 | 78,569 | 66 | 235,299 |

The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented collapse of the U.S. economy in late March 2020. The federal government scrambled to provide emergency financial support through a variety of hastily-assembled programs, such as PPP, but relief did not always go to where it was most needed. This article shows how a business' failure risk in a pandemic depends on its native ability to adapt to changing consumer preferences in a pandemic. It demonstrates native adaptability in the context of one particularly hard-hit industry, the lodging industry, and argues that funds can be distributed more efficiently by taking native adaptability into account. | input | 2 | 78,579 | 66 | 235,329 |

Community eco-tourism in rural Peru: Resilience and adaptive capacities to the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change | output | 1 | 78,758 | 66 | 235,865 |
The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has been devastating for international tourism, adversely affecting destinations, organizations, and local communities. In particular, the crisis highlights the need for local communities reliant on rural tourism to enhance their resilience to the risks simultaneously generated by the pandemic and accelerating impacts of climate change. This is important as the effects of these hazards are intertwined and cannot be treated in isolation. We explore community responses and resilience through case study Quebrada Verde, Peru, a small rural community in the Andes Mountains. Specifically, we report on a qualitative examination involving in-depth semi-structured interviews and focus groups with key informants from the community, supplemented by relevant documentary analysis. Drawing on community resilience and social networks perspectives, we find that the community's preparedness to both threats is unbalanced. On one hand, the community eco-tourism system has developed sufficient tools to adapt to the temporary effects of COVID-19 derived from the community's self-organization skills and topophilia. Specifically, the community possesses a cohesive social structure, it has a solid cultural identity rooted in its customs and traditions, and maintains a social humour that enables it to see the positive aspects of adversity. On the other hand, the analysis of the measures towards strengthening the resilience to climate change delivers mixed results. In particular, the relationship that the community has built with other local organizations to successfully prevent and react to climate change is weak. Therefore, stronger efforts towards bridging this gap must be implemented in order to sustain the wider social network of such organizations, of which the community is a part. This would enable further development and implementation of appropriate risk management strategies to counteract climate change, enhancing the community's resilience of its eco-tourism system to this emergent threat. Importantly, this finding might be relevant to other local communities seeking to improve their resilience to COVID-19 and climate change. | input | 2 | 78,758 | 66 | 235,866 |

Study on soybean potential productivity and food security assessment in China under the influence of the COVID-19 outbreak | output | 1 | 78,991 | 66 | 236,564 |
The COVID-19 outbreak suddenly broke out globally in 2020 Pressure from the blockade and ban on food exports are starting to affect agricultural supply chains, it has led to a rapid rise in global food prices As many grain exporting countries announced a ban on grain exports, food security issues in China have attracted great international attention This study builds the Suitability Distribution Model and Soybean-Cereal Constraint Model to explore the relationship between soybean production potential and food security As a result, the soybean potential planting area in China is 164 3 million ha If the outbreak prevents China from importing soybeans, the soybean planting area will need to be increased by 6 9 times to satisfy the demands In the meantime, the cereal self-sufficiency rate will drop to 63 4%, which will greatly affect food security Each additional unit of soybean production will reduce 3 9 units of cereals, and 1% increase in the self-sufficiency rate of soybeans will result in a 0 63% drop in cereals It is not sustainable to sacrifice cereal to grow soybeans and to rely heavily on imports But to ensuring the cereal security, the self-sufficiency rate of soybeans is difficult to exceed 42% China still need to import more than 68% of the original import volume of soybean In the short term, the outbreak will not affect food security in China, but as soybean imports decrease, insufficient supply of soybeans will affect people's quality of life To prevent the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, China should increase soybean stocks and strengthen international cooperation in short term In the long term, increasing the self-sufficiency rate is the fundamental solution to soybean problem, and the key to increasing soybean cultivation is to make soybean cultivation profitable and to build a sustainable soybean planting chain So, China need to formulate a soybean cultivation strategy prudently | input | 2 | 78,991 | 66 | 236,565 |

The ESM Pandemic Crisis Support Facility: A Changing Conditionality? | output | 1 | 79,032 | 66 | 236,687 |
Since late 2019, the globe has progressively been affected by a pandemic caused by a new virus named Covid-19. To face the economic and social effects of this crisis, the European Union has predisposed a plan hinged on four pillars. The Support to mitigate Unemployment Risks in an Emergency to provide financial assistance for work and jobs. A fund established by the European Investment Bank in favour of small and medium enterprises. A Recovery Fund to stimulate and support European recovery. A Pandemic Crisis Support facility under which the European Stability Mechanism may provide resources without macroeconomic conditionality in favour of direct and indirect healthcare, cure and prevention related to the Covid-19 crisis. With specific reference to this facility, the absence of macroeconomic conditionality questions its compatibility with the ESM and EU Treaties. This problem could have been cured in the amending process of the ESM Treaty. Unfortunately, it was not so and the solution must be sought elsewhere. This may be done by interpreting the no bail-out rule, holding that the no bail-out rule is suspended or finding that the no bailout rule is satisfied by the national recovery and resilience plans. Alternatively, the facility could have been placed under different umbrellas. However, the exceptional features of the facility are not replicable in the ESM context © 2022.

A systems approach to navigating food security during COVID-19: Gaps, opportunities, and policy supports | output | 1 | 79,116 | 66 | 236,939 |
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted a series of concatenating problems in the global production and distribution of food Trade barriers, seasonal labor shortages, food loss and waste, and food safety concerns combine to engender vulnerabilities in food systems A variety of actors-from academics to policy-makers, community organizers, farmers, and homesteaders-are considering the undertaking of creating more resilient food systems Conventional approaches include fine-tuning existing value chains, consolidating national food distribution systems and bolstering inventory and storage This paper highlights three alternative strategies for securing a more resilient food system, namely: (i ) leveraging underutilized, often urban, spaces for food production;(ii ) rethinking food waste as a resource;and (iii ) constructing production-distribution-waste networks, as opposed to chains Various food systems actors have pursued these strategies for decades Yet, we argue that the COVID-19 pandemic forces us to urgently consider such novel assemblages of actors, institutions, and technologies as key levers in achieving longer term food system resilience These strategies are often centered around principles of redistribution and reciprocity, and focus on smaller scales, from individual households to communities We highlight examples that have emerged in the spring-summer of 2020 of household and community efforts to reconstruct a more resilient food system We also undertake a policy analysis to sketch how government supports can facilitate the emergence of these efforts and mobilization beyond the immediate confines of the pandemic | input | 2 | 79,116 | 66 | 236,940 |

Revising entrepreneurial action in response to exogenous shocks: Considering the COVID-19 pandemic | output | 1 | 79,175 | 66 | 237,116 |
With regards to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the domain of entrepreneurship, we offer research-based evidence and associated insights focused on three perspectives (i.e., business planning, frugality, and emotional support) regarding entrepreneurial action under an exogenous shock. Beyond the initial emergency response that countries around the world have taken, we argue that it is time to revise entrepreneurial action guidance in such a context. Our aim is to highlight ways that entrepreneurs can take action in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic. We position our insights to be relevant to both researchers and practitioners coping with an unprecedented situation that has catastrophic consequences both economically and socially. | input | 2 | 79,175 | 66 | 237,117 |

Material Adverse Effect Clauses and the COVID-19 Pandemic | output | 1 | 79,192 | 66 | 237,167 |
This paper considers whether the COVID-19 pandemic, the governmental responses thereto, and actions taken by companies in connection with both of these constitute a “Material Adverse Effect” (MAE) under a typical MAE clause in a public company merger agreement. Although in any particular case everything will depend on the exact effects suffered by the company and the precise wording of the MAE clause, this paper concludes that, under a typical MAE clause, given the current tremendous contraction in economic activity, most companies will have suffered a material adverse effect as such term in used in the base definition of most MAE clauses. The question thus becomes whether the risks of a pandemic or of governmental responses thereto have been shifted to the acquirer under exceptions to the base definition. This paper considers some of the difficult causal questions that would arise in answering this question, including the relation of actions taken by the company to remain solvent while suffering the effects of COVID-19 and governmental lockdown orders, and concludes that, in some instances, a company will have suffered an MAE even if the MAE clause contains exceptions for pandemics, changes in law, or both. | input | 2 | 79,192 | 66 | 237,168 |
