Komut, Osman
The Covid 19 pandemic has led to considerable destruction of social and economic areas at a global level. This study aims to determine the economic impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the Turkish forestry sector. In this context, 5 years (from 2017 to 2021) of wood-based product sales of an administrative unit, which carries out regional forestry activities in Turkey, were studied. The data concerning the product groups were subjected to a Laspeyres price index analysis based on the base period weight through the price and estimated price increase rate variables. In addition, correlation analysis was utilized to determine the relationships between the determined variables. The findings showed that the Covid 19 pandemic led to decreases in the Laspeyres price index values for the price and estimated price increase rates when compared with the pre-pandemic period, which was different on a product group’s basis. As a result, it can be said that the Covid 19 pandemic process created a considerable potential for a loss of income in wood-based products, which is one of the primary outputs of the forestry sector, and as of 2021, a recovery process has started.

Şahin, Muhammet
Humanity has a long history of struggle against pandemics. Covid-19 is the most recent example of such kind of pandemics. Since its first outbreak appeared in China on December 31, 2019, the Covid-19 pandemic has spread rapidly across almost all over the globe within a few months. The Covid-19 has been a type of pandemic which requires compliance with social distancing rules, thereby it has caused both demand-side and supply-side slowdown in economic activities. It is estimated that as a result of the pandemics there will be a very sharp economic shrinkage, an increase in unemployment to the highest levels in the history and a significant decrease in global trade. Governments and international organizations have adopted various measures and incentive packages in order to overcome this problem. These packages mainly include monetary and fiscal tools; however, they have the risk of yielding an increase in government debts thus disrupting public fiscal equilibrium. This chapter aims to examine the economic and fiscal impacts of the pandemic and to examine practices both in Turkey and around the world accordingly.
