6. Proposed EE research question or hypothesis: (To what extent….?; How far….?; Why….?)

To what extend did the Omicron outbreak in Shanghai affect its economy status?

7. Rational for studying this topic: (Why do you want to study this topic? What do you want to find out about it?):

During the time period between March and June, all the people in shanghai experienced lockdown that was
implemented in the entire city. Due to the high frequency of nucleic testing which was 100% bared by the
government, the government spending has been increasing enormously. Also, the lockdown worked as an obstacle of
consumption which certainly deducted the economy vitality.

8. Approach and methodology applied: (Are there sufficient sources available on this topic? How will you analyze the
topic? Do you have access to the necessary resources to complete the research? What predicted outcomes might
you make about the topic?):

Since the event was happened recently and the society is still now recovering from the trauma. The data will be
gained later as Shanghai’s recovery. I would be analyzing the topic from multi perspectives involving the government
spending that largely exceeded the amount of money they would spent normally, the influence on economy due to the
lockdown etc.
