MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF CORONA VIRUS CRISIS IN CROATIA AND THE EUROPEAN UNION

Korona virus kao zdravstvena prijetnja postala je generatorom razvoja ekonomske krize u cijelom svijetu u rapidno brzom vremenu. Mjere obrane od virusa, u provom redu lockdown, spriječile su uobičajeno funkcioniranje ekonomskih tokova zbog čega je došlo do šokova u agregatnoj ponudi i potražnji. Ovim radom u prvoj mjeri analizira se makroekonomska slika zemalja Europske unije i Republike Hrvatske prije i nakon pojave korona virusa čime će se pokazati ekonomski učinci te krize zajedno sa ekonomskim mjerama ublažavanja. Razmotrit će se i kakva je ekonomska perspektiva globalne ekonomije nakon epidemije te percepcija javnosti o ozbiljnosti, razmjerima i potencijalnim posljedicama krize.The corona virus as a health threat has become a generator of the development of the economic crisis around the world in a rapidly fast time.
