Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists and policy makers have been asking how effective lockdowns are in preventing and controlling the spread of the virus. In the absence of vaccines, the regulators lacked any plausible alternatives. Nevertheless, after the introduction of vaccinations, to what extent the conclusions of these analyses are still valid should be considered. In this paper, we present a study on the effect of vaccinations within the dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with an agent-based epidemic component. Thus, we validated the results regarding the need to use lockdowns as an efficient tool for preventing and controlling epidemics that were obtained in November 2020.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24010126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]],"date-time":"2022-01-14T12:34:04Z","timestamp":1642163644000},"page":"126","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Immunity in the ABM-DSGE Framework for Preventing and Controlling Epidemics\u2014Validation of Results"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6261-5084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jagoda","family":"Kaszowska-Mojsa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute for New Economic Thinking at the Oxford Martin School, University of Oxford, Manor Road, Oxford OX1 3UQ, UK"},{"name":"Institute of Economics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Nowy \u015awiat St. 72, 00-330 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Macroeconomics, Institute of Economics, Cracow University of Economics, Rakowicka St. 27, 31-510 Cracow, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1316-6328","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Przemys\u0142aw","family":"W\u0142odarczyk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Macroeconomics, Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, 90-136 \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5184-931X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"Szyma\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Macroeconomics, Faculty of Economics and Sociology, University of \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, 90-136 \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Poland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Kaszowska-Mojsa, J., and W\u0142odarczyk, P.
