The current pandemic of COVID 19 proliferated from China since December 2019 over the globe. Since then it has a significant effect visible on the global economy and living pattern of life. India is the fifth richest country abruptly affected after China and America. India is known for innovative start-ups and the business model collapsed due to the reduction in demand and supply chain because the sudden outbreak of COVID 19 resulted in complete lockdown. During COVID 19 pandemic, the government has taken new initiatives to reborn the entrepreneurs of India. However, many industries, small businesses, start-ups were rolling behind due to financial crises. There were no options for entrepreneurs to rely on the government rules, regulations to roll back in the market.

The recent plunge in oil prices has brought into question the generally accepted view that lower oil prices are good for the United States and the global economy. In this paper, using a quarterly multi-country econometric model, we first show that a fall in oil prices tends relatively quickly to lower interest rates and inflation in most countries, and increase global real equity prices. The effects on real output are positive, although they take longer to materialize (around four quarters after the shock). We then re-examine the effects of low oil prices on the U.S. economy over different sub-periods using monthly observations on real oil prices, real equity prices and real dividends. We confirm the perverse positive relationship between oil and equity prices over the period since the 2008 financial crisis highlighted in the recent literature, but show that this relationship has been unstable when considered over the longer time period of 1946–2016. In contrast, we find a stable negative relationship between oil prices and real dividends which we argue is a better proxy for economic activity (as compared to equity prices). On the supply side, the effects of lower oil prices differ widely across the different oil producers, and could be perverse initially, as some of the major oil producers try to compensate their loss of revenues by raising production. Taking demand and supply adjustments to oil price changes as a whole, we conclude that oil markets equilibrate but rather slowly, with large episodic swings between low and high oil prices.

This COVID-19 pandemic has a colossal impact on individuals as well as society. The discipline of health economics has grown significantly in recent years and new methodologies and techniques have been developed to evaluate the economic burden of the diseases. Amid the lockdown, scarce resources and increasing medical costs have highlighted the need to quantify the burden of COVID-19 on the healthcare system and thus the present study tried to make accurate economic assessments of the impact of this disease. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented shock to the economies globally. With the prolonged nation-wide lockdown, global economic downturn, and imbalances of demand and supply sides, the global economy is facing an extended period of slowdown, which is likely to be existing for a while now. The magnitude of the economic impact will depend upon the duration and severity of this global health crisis and the manner in which the situation unfolds once the economy starts to recover

COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease-2019) is regarded as a public health emergency of international concern. Patients contracting the severe form of the disease constitute approximately 15% of the cases [WHO). The covid-19 is affecting 203 countries and territories around the world. An epidemiological threat such as COVID-19 can have destructive effect on the economy.it is of great importance not to focus only on the epidemiological profile of the virus but also its impact on the economy. As much as economists think about risk-taking as a key driver of the economy, an economy only works if risks are largely known. With the impact of the covid-19 on travel services, durable expenditure, on supply chain and on social isolation (high skilled working from home, home schooling) and impact on demand and supply. On the bases of the listed impact on the economy global recession seems inevitable, there is also possibility of emerging markets. The overall demand effect is probably higher than the initial supply shock. There will be uncertainties, panic, a lot of panic buying and lock-down policies is a key to drive large drop in demand. The investment in a lot of firms especially the small and young firms, spending for households such as rent and mortgagor’s depend largely on cash flow. Large drop in demand will lead to force closure in a lot of firms and this will lead to an increase in lay-offs and hence further drop in consumption, and sadly the economy leads to depressing loop.

Carbon tax and cap and trade are two main policy tools for market-based mechanisms aimed at curbing carbon dioxide emissions. But, their implementation requires a careful calibration of the price of carbon, on which a carbon tax is levied, or which helps price carbon credits in an emissions trading system. Hence, setting a price on carbon, tuned to the fundamentals of the local economy, is a profound question in environmental economics, important for benchmarking the price of many goods and services dependent on fossil fuel energy for material input or function. One approach to setting a price on carbon is to progressively increase the price of carbon through regulatory statute from an initial low price. This would help industries and the economy to gradually adapt to a marketplace where there is an additional regulatory price on carbon in addition to a material and services price. On the other hand, a one-off approach at setting the final price of carbon in the economy may deliver a severe demand and supply shock, which may have repercussions beyond businesses needing to factor the price of carbon in their economic calculus. Thus, whether a progressive price increase in carbon or setting the final price, pricing carbon is a delicate economic issue with significant implications for the functioning of an economy choosing either the carbon tax or cap and trade system for regulating carbon dioxide emissions.

Economic globalization has become a difficult international agenda inevitable by all countries in the world. As well as accelerator movement derivative program of economic globalization, developing free trade (free trade) that has gradually been implemented in most specific regions in the world. For example, NAFTA program that has been effective since January 1, 1994, CAFTA has been in effect as of January 1, 2010 and MEAs will soon be put into effect from December 31, 2015. The goal ultimately is the realization of free trade world as the embodiment of a large agenda that no other is economic globalization. The implication, will materialize inter­de­pendent global economy (interdependent) between countries in the world. Including the interdependence of the external value of a country's currency as a unit of account, medium of exchange and store of Value on goods traded within the International transactions. The external value of the currency or commonly known as the exchange rate (exchange rate) is formed as a result of interaction between aggregate demand (aggregate demand) and supply aggregate (aggregate supply) in the money market. Thus, the phenomenon of economic globalization and free trade world that nowadays more and stronger will be the independent variables that can affect currency values of variables as dependent variables of aggregate demand side.

Franchising has been a popular business approach given the high rate of business failures (Justis & Judd, 2002; Thomas & Seid, 2000), and its popularity continues to increase in today’s e-business-centered global economy. For example, Entrepreneur magazine¾well known for its Franchise 500 listing¾in early 2001 included a category called Tech Businesses into its Franchise Zone which contains subcategories of Internet Businesses, Tech Training, and Miscellaneous Tech Businesses. At the time of this writing, 35 companies are on the list of Entrepreneur.com. Netchising, combing the power of the Internet for global demand-and-supply processes and international franchising arrangements for local responsiveness, seems to rise as an effective global e-business growth strategy (Beck & Morrison, 2000; Morrison, Beck & Bouquet, 2000). The Netchising business model “offers potentially huge benefits over traditional exporting or foreign direct investment approaches to globalization” and is “a powerful concept with potentially broad applications” (Davenport, 2000, p. 52).
