In this work we combing models of disease dynamics and economic production, and we show the potential implications of this for demonstrating the importance of savings for buffering an economy during the period of an epidemic. Finding an explicit function that relates poverty and the production of a community is an almost impossible task because of the number of variables and parameters that should be taken into account. However, studying the dynamics of an endemic disease in a region that affects its population, and therefore its ability to work, is an honest approach to understanding this function. We propose a model, perhaps the simplest, that couples two dynamics, the dynamics of an endemic disease and the dynamics of a closed economy of products and goods that the community produces in the epidemic period. Some of the results of this study are expected and known in the literature but some others are not. We highlight three of them: the interdependence that exists between health and 查看全文>>
