"While COVID-19 is a global pandemic, the policy responses so far have been almost exclusively national. This column uses a theoretical model to analyse national containment policies in an integrated world. The findings suggest that the first-best solution is global coordination on public health responses, including domestic containment policies. In the absence of ability to coordinate on the global level, regional coordination is called for."
