Abstract
The paper examines the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions on the initial exponential growth of the infected population and final exponential decay of the infected population. We employ a Bayesian dynamic model to test whether there is learning, a random walk pattern or other type of learning with evolving epidemiological data over time across 168 countries and 51,083 country-date observations. Although learning might not take place, most policy measures appear to assert some effect. In an application we employ the main epidemiological parameters derived from the policy learning model to examine their impact on household debt repayments in UK within a vector autoregressive system of equations. Results show that higher transmission rate would increase household debt repayments, while the recovery rate would have negative impact on debt repayment.
