For your allocated continent construct a panel dataset that, for each country, includes one observation per month, starting from March 2020, taken at the end of each month (i.e. the 30th of each month). Once you have set up your dataset you are asked to complete the two following tasks:
1. With the help of graphs and statistics provide a brief analysis of the evolution of COVID-19 cases and deaths across the continent. (approx. 200 words; 10 marks)
2. Carry out an econometrics investigation of the determinants of new COVID-19 cases across the continent. Select the variables you plan to use in your econometric model, justify your selection, produce some summary statistics for each variable and carry out your analysis.
