Abstract
The paper has a twofold objective. Firstly, it aims to discuss the effects of the Spanish flu within the classical theoretical framework that addresses the possible consequences of a pandemic (i.e., but not only, labour shortage or capital accumulation). It then explains why the classical approach is not entirely satisfactory by considering the WWI’s disturbing effects on Italy. Secondly, it tries to overcome this issue by resorting to some unexplored archival sources in search of traces that the Influenza presumably exerted on Milan’s economic and social structure, which was heavily affected by the health emergency. We adopt different sources to provide a broader perspective. They include the Milan Municipality, the main city hospital, a major industrial company and a major bank.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has significant impacts on U.S. regional economies. We examine the effects of COVID-19 on economic growth, population, labor markets, migration, and entrepreneurship. We also study the heterogeneous effects of the pandemic on urban and rural America.
