Purpose: This paper examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the government's role. The study aims to contribute to the discourse on government intervention and the provision of public goods in a supranational context characterised by diverse socio-economic landscapes and shared policy objectives. Design/methodology/approach: It investigates three dimensions: the temporal evolution of government interventions, the spatial dimensions of the pandemic's impact, and the structural implications for public policy and sustainability. This analysis is based on a comprehensive review of literature, policy documents, and case studies from EU member states. Findings: Findings highlight the significance of long-term strategic planning, international cooperation, and equitable economic systems in managing crises and fostering a sustainable environment. Originality/value: It comprehensively analyses how integrated policy frameworks can enhance crisis resilience, offering practical recommendations for policymakers and contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable development and public governance.

Purpose: This paper analyses the economic and social impacts of implementing the European Accessibility Act (EAA). The study explores the trade-off between equality and efficiency as conceptualised by Arthur Okun. It evaluates how the EAA aims to enhance accessibility for persons with disabilities within the EU member states. Design/methodology/approach: This paper employs a theoretical framework based on Arthur Okun's concepts of equality and efficiency. The study reviews existing literature, including policy documents and academic research, to outline the EAA's assumptions and provisions. It also analyses the anticipated economic and social effects of the directive's implementation by examining relevant data and case studies. Findings: The study finds that while the EAA promotes greater accessibility and social inclusion for persons with disabilities, significant challenges and risks may limit its effectiveness. These include the economic burden on businesses and national authorities' need for comprehensive and timely implementation. However, the directive has the potential to drive innovation, enhance market competitiveness, and improve the overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities by providing equal opportunities and reducing social disparities. Originality/value: This paper contributes to the discourse on the intersection of economic efficiency and social equality by applying Okun's theoretical framework to the context of the EAA. It offers a unique perspective on the directive's potential impacts, highlighting the importance of designing policies that promote social objectives. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and disability advocacy groups on the implementation and implications of the EAA.
