| Summary: | The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and
its negative economic effects create a need for timely data
and evidence to help monitor and mitigate the social and
economic impacts of the crisis. To monitor the impacts of
the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related containment
measures on formal firms in Ethiopia and inform the policy
response, the World Bank, in collaboration with the
government, is implementing a high-frequency phone survey of
firms (HFPS-F). The HFPS-F interviews a sample of firms in
Addis Ababa every three weeks for a total of eight survey
rounds, and an additional sample of firms in four other
cities in Ethiopia (Adama, Bahir Dar, Hawassa, and Mekelle)
for a total of seven rounds. This high-frequency follow-up
allows for a better understanding of the effects of and
responses to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on firm
operations, hiring and firing, and expectations of future
operations and labor demand in order to better tailor and
implement interventions and policy responses and monitor
their effects. |
