optimal lock-down policies

Optimal lock-down policies: an O.R. approach

We are able to show crucial differences if the two components (economic, health economic part) are weighted differently. Even two different optimal solutions at the same time are optimal in some cases. The analysis demonstrates that postponing the shut down by a few days has a huge influence on the optimal length of the shut down.
