Dear Colleagues,

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused numerous changes in people life. Its impact is global, as it does not focus only on a given area nor apply only to individual spheres. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are undoubtedly unheard of for people nowadays. This difficult period has brought many changes—some of them were introduced temporarily only during the pandemic and some of them will be permanent and will stay with us forever. It is impossible to cover all aspects and effects of the pandemic. From the point of view of states and citizens, the most visible are economic and social effects. Many industries, sectors, and areas have been affected by economic problems. To avoid or reduce this impact some of them have had to change their strategy and tactics. Adaptation processes and innovations were introduced, with acceleration as a result of the pandemic. Aside from the economic effects, the social effects are also very important—people’s social live have been drastically reduced. In addition, very often economic and social aspects were deeply interconnected. The war in Ukraine, which has been going on for more than a two years, also has economic and social consequences. They concern the market of energy and food raw materials, etc., but also the social and political situation. The impact of the war in Ukraine on many aspects is indisputable. Considering the above, there is a need to collect and systematize knowledge about the economic and social consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.
