Abstract

Wir nutzen ein detailliertes agentenbasiertes Simulationsmodell, um den Einfluss von höheren Homeoffice-Quoten und Schulschließungen auf den Verlauf der Covid-19-Pandemie bis Ende Februar 2021 abzuschätzen. Ausgehend vom derzeitigen Niveau von 25 % würde eine dauerhafte Erhöhung der Homeoffice-Quote um 10 Prozentpunkte ab Ende Januar dazu führen, dass die Zahl der Neuinfektionen Ende Februar um gut ein Viertel niedriger wäre. Der Infektionszahlen bremsende Effekt von Schul- und Kitaschließungen rührt zu großen Teilen daher, dass mindestens ein Elternteil zu Hause bleiben muss.
