KARACHI: The economics department at the Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi, has launched the third and final volume of an e-book titled Short Notes on the Economy during the Covid-19 Crisis.

The volume contains 12 multi-disciplinary research articles focusing on Covid-19, and addresses the issues, effects and commentary on policy response to the public health crisis.

“During this critical time, the foremost responsibility of academia is to provide their feedback on policy response and help the government and relevant departments to design the best possible strategy.

“Many academic institutions are providing their feedback. However, our approach is based on empirical investigation, historical evidence, data exploitation and detailed scientific analysis,” said Dr Asma Hyder, editor of the e-book and chairperson of IBA’s economics department.

The e-book was also a testimony to the institute’s vibrant faculty and PhD students of the economics department, she added.
