VSE COVID Risk/Reward Assessment Tool – COVID-19

We have adapted the VSE COVID Risk/Reward Assessment Tool for Québec. This tool can be used to compare some of the risks and benefits of re-opening different sectors of the economy. It features an interactive figure, where risk is represented on the vertical axis and benefit, on the horizontal axis. The tool can be accessed here : https://cirano.qc.ca/covidtools/connollm/tool_en/
