during the Covid-19 pandemic in Spain and to compare the main policies implemented
in different countries in order to discern whether one set of measures has been more

year due to the restrictive measures, in the second half we find a slight recovery of
indicators that draws an "asymmetric V" with expectations of full recovery between a time
frame of 2022 and more than 2025 depending on the scenario considered. No significant
differences are found between the strategy of implementing restrictive measures and
that of opting to rely on individual freedoms. The strategy that has delivered the best
results in economic and health terms has been the strategy of anticipating the crisis
