A novel deterministic epidemic model considering mass vaccination and lockdown against Covid-19 spread in Israel: Numerical study Motoaki Utamura1, Makoto Koizumi2, Seiichi Kirikami3 1 PhD, BSc, Former Professor Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors, Tokyo Institute of Technology, 2-5-2-612 Kamiyoga Setagaya-ku Tokyo 158-0098 Japan 2 PhD, MSc, BSc, Former Researcher of Hitachi Research Laboratory, Hitachi Ltd., Chiba city 3 BSc, Former Engineer of Hitachi Works, Hitachi Ltd., Hitachi city Abstract Why public health intervention by Israel government against COVID-19 spread has been successful while the most countries in the world is still coping with it? To give the quantitative answer, a simple numerical epidemic model is prepared to simulate an entire trend of various infection related variables considering vaccination campaign and simultaneous lockdown. The model is an extension of the deterministic physical model ATLM previously published by the authors that aims to predict an entire trend of variables in a single epidemic. The time series data of both vaccine dose ratio and lockdown period are employed in the model. Predictions have been compared with observed data in terms of daily new cases, isolated people, infectious at large and effective reproductive number and the model is verified.

  • Research Department Staff Forecast, July 2021
    BANK OF ISRAEL Office of the Spokesperson and Economic Information July 5, 2021 Research Department Staff Forecast, July 2021 Abstract This document presents the macroeconomic staff forecast compiled by the Bank of Israel Research Department in July 2021 concerning the main macroeconomic variables—GDP, inflation, and the interest rate. In this forecast, we assume that lockdowns or marked limitations on activity in respect of COVID-19 will not be required. The forecast reflects our assessment that the economy continues with a process of recovery from the crisis, after the cancelation of a large majority of the limitations, and that by the end of 2022, activity will approach the trend line from precrisis period. According to the forecast, GDP is expected to grow by 5.5 percent in 2021 and by 6.0 percent in 2022, while the broad unemployment rate is expected to decline over the forecast period, to 5.5 percent at the end of 2022. The inflation rate in the coming four quarters (ending in the second quarter of 2022) is expected to be 1.0 percent, and the inflation rate in 2022 is expected to be 1.2 percent, similar to our assessment in the previous forecast. According to this forecast, the monetary interest rate is expected to be 0.1 percent one year from now. We assume that the State budget will be passed by the end of the year and that the fiscal consolidation will be pushed off to 2023. Under these assumptions, the government deficit in 2021 is expected to be 7.1 percent of GDP and in 2022 is expected to be 3.8 percent of GDP.
