In the last two decades, developed and developing countries have invested dramatically in health and immunization of the people [ 1]. As a result, we have seen the development of new vaccines as well as the growth of new financing mechanisms through organizations such as Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Pan American Health Organization [ 2]. Vaccine development programs are very important in stakeholder decisions because they have valuable effects on people's health and the economy of the community [ 3]. Some focus only on the immunization and health implications of the vaccine such as medical cost savings, while the vaccine has far-reaching effects on economies [ 4]. It is important to note that health improvement leads to improving the economy such as decreasing fertility, strengthening macroeconomic stability, and improving educational outcomes. There are two kinds of benefits for immunization: 1) narrow 2) broad [ 5]. Gain in health, health care cost, and care-related productivity typically considered in microeconomic evaluations were categorized as 'narrow' benefits, while additional benefits not normally incorporated were categorized as 'broad' benefits.

Covid19 has affected millions of people around the world and many people have been lost their lives because it is a formidable disease [ 6]. Many researchers have been tried to present the vaccines to the market as soon as possible. Meanwhile, some countries have been tried to introduce some vaccines and they have been successful. Some countries have started vaccinations too. Governments, especially the wealthier one, for secure vaccination of their people have tried to sign purchase agreements with vaccine producers [ 7]. When governments care about the needs of individuals and prioritize them over other domestic needs, this situation is often referred to as ‘vaccine nationalism’. Some features can decrease the rate of vaccination around the world until 2024: 1. Limited global manufacturing capacity 2. the profusion of bilateral purchase agreements. So, many poor countries cannot be vaccinated quickly which resulting poor vaccination, high daily death rate and sick economy. On the other hand, this can divide the world to high death rate and risky countries vs. lower death rate along with lower risk which is harmful. Unequitable access to vaccines along with Covid-19 outbreaks have destructive economic effects [ 8]. Vaccination should be extending and governments can't decrease or control disease regardless of other countries. So, they should be more coordinated and harmonized. For example, wealthier countries can offer and dedicate vaccines to poor countries.

Eurasia Group have done research which shows that global equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines can generate economic benefits of at least US$ 153 billion in 2020–21, and US$ 466 billion by 2025, in 10 major economies [ 9]. World Health Organization (WHO) and its partners are trying to make some plans for equitable access and distribution to Covid19 vaccines. They need to make some certainty about equal access to people because it can be beneficial. There are many data that show if you do not pay attention to poor countries, all economies will suffer and put “decades of economic progress” at risk [ 10].

Emerging markets have the main roles and impacts on the global economic for some reasons which we will explain it in separate section. Tracking vaccination and the rate of progress can be important. Different researches and articles have written about inequality of access to COVID-19 vaccine in emerging markets which can be a dangerous and threat for SDGs.

The other concept which is very significant and could make a revolution in doing work is artificial intelligence (AI). By applying and using AI or Machine Learning (ML), different tasks or challenges such as prediction of Covid-19 new cases and new death cases, prediction of stock price, customer credit rating etc. can be addressed or to be improved. On the other hand, it is possible to optimize your solutions and save your time because AI can consider many parameters and do complicated tasks simultaneously. ML is a sub-branch of AI which is working based on learning and improving by experience. So, ML needs to access data and use it to learn. As a result, this process including three steps such as learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using the rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions) and self-correction. In addition, by applying AI, it is possible to produce intelligent computer programs. Therefore, AI can be characterized as a series of system, methods, and technologies that display intelligent behavior by analyzing their environments and taking actions with some degree of autonomy toward achieving pre-specified outcomes [ 11].

The structure of the paper is as follows:

First, we have surveyed the history of vaccine and the link between health and economic output. Second, we surveyed the cost-benefit of vaccines and progresses in making Corona vaccine and examine the advantages and disadvantages of vaccine. We study the role of vaccine on sustainable development too. We have dedicated a separate section to emerging economies, their characteristics, the rate of vaccine development, and the goals of sustainable development in these countries. We dedicated a part to methodology and findings and results. The last part, is about conclusions and remarks.

Many articles have been published about COVID-19 since its advent. Each article has tried to address the importance of this phenomenon from different angles such as economic, social, psychological, political etc. because this is a mission. Whenever we face to new phenomenon, especially harmful one, we must analyze it from different aspects since it can impact on our life and maybe control it. Therefore, it is imperative for researchers to study these phenomena and gain more knowledge and control their destructive effects. In this part, we have tried to survey some articles which almost are about the impacts of COVID-19 on SDGs.

Leal Filho, W., et al. (2020) [ 12] discussed how COVID-19 can impact on SDGs. They used an analysis of the literature, observations and an assessment of current world trends as a method. They concluded that we need to pay attention to other diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and others simultaneously while excessive attention to the COVID-19 can reduce attention to other diseases. Extreme attention and abundant care can increase the percentage of suffers.

Nerini, F. F., et al. (2020) [ 13] in an article about sustainable development in the wake of COVID-19 addressed the impacts of COVID-19 on SDGs and its implementation. They used a review method. They found that the pandemic can have negative impacts on achieving SDGs. However, Covid19 can be impactful and beneficial for achieving 66 targets (40%) which is due to changes spurred by the crisis, given that appropriate decisions are made.

Pan, S. L., & Zhang, S. (2020) [ 14] surveyed the opportunities and challenges of Covid19 on SDGs. So, they pointed to the six relevant themes that have evolved during the pandemic and the corresponding topics that future researchers could focus on. The results showed that beside the negative impacts of COVID-19 on human's life, it can be an excellent opportunity for the human to act in solidarity and turn these challenges to opportunity to achieve the United Nation’s (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Kashte, S., et al. (2021) [ 15] surveyed different vaccines, their types, how they are different in structure, associated challenges and future prospects.

ElBagoury, M., et al. (2020) [ 16] reviewed background of COVID-19 vaccines, discussed viral structure and life cycle of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) as owing a comprehensive visualization about the key factor of the pandemic, COVID-19 clinical symptoms etc. They concluded that in this emergency situation, vaccine is highly recommended. Of course, we need to follow the same protocols of previous pandemic such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and SARS-CoV.

Roy, S. (2020) [ 17] analyzed economic impacts of COVID-19 such as tourism industry, oil industry, aviation industry, financial sector and healthcare sector. He analyzed data from different parts, investigated the effect of external macroeconomic shocks on the global economy.

Berchin, I. I., & de Andrade, J. B. S. O. (2020) [ 18] surveyed the effects of the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak on sustainable development and future perspectives. They explored the development of sustainable development by defining the term Gaia, which imposes constraints on human activities to make better use of technologies and resources through analytical methods. They concluded that humans play an important role in the balance of Gaia and that humanity needs to accelerate its path to developed goals, and that future studies should follow the social effects of the virus, its trends, and its long-term effects on our society.

Ujunwa, A. I., et al. (2021) [ 19] in an article with the title of "Rethinking Africa's Globalization Program: Lessons from COVID-19 Reviewed" examined Africa and the growing globalization debate that is fueling inequality and poverty, and concluded that the promotion of active and global investment in these areas, as well as active dialogue, is mainly in streamlining the globalization agenda. Helps with the epidemic.

The followingTable table presents different researches about the applications of AI in prediction of Covid-19.

In this article, we have done a different and almost comprehensive research means qualitative and quantitative article with important issues such as sustainable development, vaccines and emerging market as well.

This section may be divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and precise description of the experimental results, their interpretation, as well as the experimental conclusions that can be drawn.

The development of the vaccine began two centuries ago by Dr. Edward Jenner. He treated a young boy by injecting [ 27]. The injection provided immunity to the smallpox [ 28]. The name of the virus was used to coin the term “vaccine.” The first vaccine used to target smallpox was nearly 225 years ago. In 1980, the World Health Assembly by the WHO, could eradicate the smallpox. So, smallpox eradicated completely which it could no longer kill or blind people. According to WHO, when you can prevent circulating a disease in a region, you can control and then eliminate it. For instance, in 1979 in the US, a disease which is called polio, eliminated due to widespread vaccination efforts. We can say eradicated only when a disease is eliminated worldwide.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are 14 infectious diseases, that once were prevalent in the U.S. before the development of vaccines for each of them [ 29]. Those are polio, tetanus, flu, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, rubella, Hib, measles, whooping cough, pneumococcal, rotavirus, mumps, chickenpox and diphtheria. These diseases no longer could be a threat because of widespread vaccination and immunization the majority of people.

Potential vaccines should be checked and they have a certain and clear path. This path is defined and overseen by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The producer must explain some vaccine qualifications such the manufacturing process and efficiency, effectiveness in animal testing. Each vaccine consists of a series of three clinical trials laid out in phases [ 30]. All phases should be completed successfully by manufacturer.

•Phase I: This part evaluates the strength, safety and ability of the vaccines to generate an immune system response in a small group of people.

•Phase II: In order to determine the right dosage levels, we need to test on many people, possibly hundreds.

•Phase III: This tests thousands of people to analyze the safety and effectiveness of the drug.

Every vaccine needs to get license from different number of reviews and regulatory for different purpose such as efficacy, safety and manufacturing before releasing to the public. We need to monitoring consistently. When we make sure that it has the minimum side effects or doesn't have any, the vaccine is released to further assess effectiveness among large numbers of people.

Some conditional vaccines which are used virus in their structures, can take years to validate their success, due to the process of collecting the viruses and adapting them in the lab [ 31]. Complex purification and testing are two custom production process which each new conventional vaccine requires. Pfizer and Moderna are COVID-19 vaccines that using genetic code instead of virus itself with a technique using messenger RNA (mRNA) [ 32]. According to Pfizer, the mRNA is based on genetic recipe which is made of a Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) template in the lab. The DNA can be sent across the world instantly by computer and synthesizing from an electronic sequence. Generation of an experimental batch of an mRNA vaccine takes about a week. The genetic recipe directs cells to make pieces of the spikes that sit atop the Coronavirus. Once it’s injected, the body’s immune system makes antibodies that recognize these spikes. In case a vaccinated person is later exposed to the Coronavirus, those antibodies are ready to attack the virus.

In this part, we have tried to study the history of vaccine, functions and phases. You can see more details about vaccine history in Table2 [ 33].

There has been good research on the Covid-19 vaccines along with brilliant results. You can get comprehensive information about the progress of the Corona vaccines and different kinds of vaccines through the following table.

(In the appendix TableA1, you can see the advantages and disadvantages of different vaccine platforms).

Recently, London school of hygiene and tropical medicine declared that there are 11 different vaccines for COVID-19 throughout the world which being tested on human beings.

WHO stated that there are more than 150 vaccines under development for COVID-19 [ 34]. They are in different phases. Some of them are getting closer to release as they pass through the third phase of human trials. Some of them are ready for injection on huge population. According to the WHO, in phase one of human trial, vaccines test and carry out on 30 to 50 people to make sure about side-effects and its safety. In Phase two, for testing enough immunization, the number of vaccinated people increasing. In Phase three, we need to test the efficacy of the vaccine, which is how well it protects a person against infection, as well as its safety in such a large group. So, we should increase the number of vaccinated people to thousands or million people.

InTable 4, we have taken a look at Covid-19 vaccines and their conditions in different stages and process:

(For getting more information about the differences between Covid-19 vaccines and classical, and Covid-19 vaccines in development and trials, you can refer to the appendixFigure A1 andFigure A2).

Due to a tally by the Reuters news agency, nearly 4.4 billion doses of the different vaccines have been pre-ordered around the world. Competition for fast vaccination is at the center of attention by many governments and they want to vaccinate their population as soon as possible. Different vaccines have different capabilities and qualifications such as the temperature of storing, the number of required dozes etc. which can be a practical advantage over some others. Every vaccine has a price for each dose. For example, AstraZeneca put its cost at about $2.50 a dose to considered organizations and counterparty. Pfizer’s vaccine will cost about $20 a dose, while Modena's will cost $15-25, based on agreements the companies have struck to supply their vaccines to the US government. The followingFigure figure shows the number of pre-ordered vaccines until Nov2020:

In this part, we have tried to study the impact of vaccines on health, economic and social perspectives. We cannotFigure figure out all of the possible costs because it couldn't possible and there is not sufficient data. As a result, the effects of the pandemic on the economy can be measured based on three parameters: 1. its impact on GDP 2. employment 3. general government net lending [ 35]. GDP measures the market value of all the final goods and services produced and sold in a specific time period by countries. While GDP could not measure the economic welfare completely, it is probably the most common form of measurement. Employment (or unemployment) as a complementary parameter can act as a measure of economic activity. In the absence of Covid19 or in a normal condition, the situation or status is different which government could allocate more resources to welfare, employment and totally economic improvement [ 36]. The government assesses, for instance, that the costs of economic measures in 2020 in response to the pandemic amount to almost SEK 200 billion (Swedish krona) during 2020, or around 4 per cent of GDP [ 37]. It is obvious that, by declining economic activity, public revenue from taxes declines.

This review will highlight the benefits of vaccinations to society from the perspectives of health, economy, and social fabric (Figure 2), which need to be considered in the overall assessment of impact to ensure that vaccines are prioritized by those making funding decisions [ 38].

In order to having a conceptual framework about the gains of a rapid vaccination process,Figure 3 has been depicted. The red line shows the rate of GDP before pandemic. It is clear that this rate is much lower than no pandemic means the blue line in 2020. This can be as a result of the spread infectious and different restrictions and outbreaks. It is clear that vaccination cause decreasing the mortality rate and can increase the immunization. So, this can lead to economic improvement and GDP improvement in 2021. To illustrate the gains of rapid vaccination, we have considered two scenarios. In one scenario, it is assumed that the spread of infection will stop one month earlier than in the other scenario. The light blue and yellow lines show how the economic recovery develops respectively. We assume that the economic recovery will follow the same path in both scenarios, which is illustrated by these lines having the same slope. Because of small time interval (i.e., a month), it can be a reasonable assumption between two scenarios.

The rate and size of the gain depends on the rate of vaccinations and immunization. (The difference between the blue and red lines). Using our assumptions, the gain corresponds to the pandemic’s average effects on GDP per month in 2020.

This conceptual framework is of course very simplified. It can be possible to use different assumptions and various scenarios about the gains of vaccination. So, you need to take other parameters and changing the figures. We used this approach because it's easy and doesn't need any complicated mathematical methods, data and several assumptions.

Because we can't estimate the rate of GDP due to high volatility during vaccination period, this factor can be the most important uncertainty factor in our calculations [ 39]. InFigure 4, this entails an uncertainty regarding the red and blue lines for 2021. The size of benefit depends on the rate of GDP, i.e., that GDP and benefit due to vaccination have direct relationship. The benefit also depends on how the spread of infection develops and how large the economic consequences will be (higher or lower placement of the red curve). How uncertainty about near term economic developments can affect the calculations is discussed in more detail below. There are more details about the relation and link between health and economic output and the role of prevention program which one of them is vaccine in the appendix (Figure A3).

We have tried to survey the impact of rapid vaccination based on GDP and its economic benefits during pandemic. We can take a look and study the effects of other variables such as labor market and public finances to give broader picture.

Now, we have tried to study the effect of one-month earlier vaccination on GDP. As we discussed earlier, this estimation is uncertain because it depends on different economic variables. InFigure 1 this means that the red line could become higher or lower in 2021. As it is clear, spread of infection and economic activity have indirect relationship. Sweden activity index has estimated GDP on a monthly basis. So, we can use it and estimate our own GDP. We can calculate the GDP loss at around SEK 40 billion on average when the infection was spreading rapidly means in April and May. For March and September, we can consider lower GDP loss on average around SEK 15 billion. According to some facts, we have assessed the benefits of a rapid vaccination between SEK 15 and 40 billion, depending on how quickly we can assume that infection spreads before the vaccination process is complete in 2021.

By rapid vaccination and shortening the period around one-month, GDP can be around SEK 25 billion after rounding off, or just over half a per cent of annual GDP. However, due to spread of infection and its speed in 2021 and based on the experiences of 2020, this can vary between SEK 15 and 40 billion per month

Our estimation is comparable with other studies for other countries. Nugroho (2020) used general equilibrium model and reported calculations of the cost of vaccination in Indonesia being delayed by six months. The cost was estimated at 44 billion dollars, or around 4 per cent of the country’s GDP. It is clear that every method has its own assumption. So, the Nugroho method is different with us but based on as a percentage of GDP, it is roughly the same.

Public finances can be affected by pandemic around SEK 20 billion on average per month with an interval of between SEK 10 and 30 billion. We can measure the impact of rapid vaccination one-month earlier on public debt. This is an effect that comes in addition to the calculated gain in terms of GDP. Definitely, we can't generalize and adaptation calculation of public finances in 2021 based on 2020 because the structure of finance and its rate would be different.

Different factors can be considered to determine the higher or lower effect. So, we need to use a factor that presents smaller effects. Larger effects can be indicated based on calculations (i.e., the costs of the Government's measures to deal with the pandemic in 2020 and a normal relationship between GDP developments and automatic stabilizers). Smaller effects may be indicated based on the measure the outcomes for the second and third quarters of 2020 in relation to the corresponding quarter in 2019. This is a period in 2020 when the monthly costs for the government's reforms are assessed to have been particularly high. It is also probable that other factors than the pandemic have affected the developments in general government finances between 2020 and 2019.

As an assumption, if the pandemic is shortened by a month, we think that SEK 20 billion per month is a reasonable assessment of the savings made by the public sector. This estimation considers both the actual developments in general government net lending and the assessment that the benefit in terms of GDP amounts to SEK 25 billion and that the need for active fiscal policy declines. The interval of SEK 10-30 billion is constructed on the basis of the interval for the gain in terms of GDP.

As it is clear, the labor market has been affected by the pandemic significantly. Governments tried to decline the negative consequences of Covid19 on employment but it has declined substantially and it has risen. Different jobs have different status. Some jobs improved and some of them vanished. After the emergence of Covid19 and its outbreak, at the end of 2020, the effects of pandemic mean 130,000 fewer people are employed than was the Riksbank's assessment prior to the pandemic.

It is explicit the rate of mitigation means unemployment will be stable until more immunization. That is, that around 130,000 fewer people are employed. This number depends on spread of infection and the level of economic activity. High-frequency variations in employment are normally limited, however, and the current conditions for furloughing reduce the need to give notice of redundancy to staff as a result of temporary changes in demand.

We have considered that after population vaccination and rapid immunization, employment condition can turn into normal situation. Which is illustrated in Fig.4. So, vaccination has a positive correlation with employment and labor market. This can be compared with the recovery in GDP according toFigure 1, where the vertical distance between the light blue and yellow lines now instead represents the difference in the number of employed. During the time, the positive effect of vaccination on employment will diminish. We need to consider a point that employment is not only related to vaccination, while it depends on other factors such as the speed of the recovery (the slope of the light blue and yellow curves respectively). If, for instance, the recovery takes six (twelve) months, this will correspond to 20,000 (10,000) more people employed per month during the recovery period.

The benefits of vaccination one month earlier can also be described in terms of 130,000 more man-months or monthly salaries.

We can numerate a lot of reasons which vaccination not to be delayed against Covid19:

high pressure on the medical system

dying and suffering a lot of people

Reducing stress and pressure on people

Make sure our schools, businesses and communities can reopen safety

In addition, the macroeconomic benefits of rapid vaccination are most probably considerable. The benefits are less if the pandemic and the economy develop more favorably while the vaccination process is under way in 2021, compared with 2020, but can be greater if developments are poorer. Based on the assumptions and calculations, fiscal and monetary policy support economic activity during 2021 in about the same way as during 2020.

SDGs are a collection of 17 global goals to achieve and sustainable future life for all of the people by 2030 [ 40]. These goals are economic, social, environmental, etc., which affect the conditions of different countries. Annual reports on the success rate of achieving sustainable development goals are published. The SDGs are as follows:

COVID-19 can affect these goals in different manners. For example, with the announcement of a nationwide quarantine, some people lose their jobs, which leads to unemployment, the development of poverty and hunger. The different effects of COVID-19 on each of the sustainable development goals are presented inTable 6:

As a result, the goals of sustainable development will be pursued with the discovery of the COVID-19 vaccine and its distribution among countries. But the point is that the distribution of the vaccine takes a long time and may not be fair in the distribution of the vaccine because this has been mentioned in various studies. For example, some countries have vaccinated half of their population, while some countries have not yet received a single dose of the vaccine. So, many companies tried to help each of the SDGs. You can see the help of each company on SDGs inTable 7:

Most emerging countries are countries where vaccination rates are very slow and mortality and morbidity rates are higher. So, it is necessary to examine this issue in more details.

Sustainability is a fundamental concept. Today, it is a challenge for the world and the society and it could be efficient and impactful.

In the meantime, there are challenges in our lives that we face, challenges such as; poverty, climate change, inequality, diseases, etc. that countries face to change the world towards a sustainable future, and questions such as;

"What are the main and important causes of poverty and inequality in the world? has inequality between countries and within them increased due to globalization, and what policies should be used to achieve the goal of economic equality and poverty alleviation!"

The reduction of inequalities does not depend only on homogeneous factors, and therefore proper analysis to evaluate the performance of countries in this field is very difficult and tedious, while neo-liberal countries have turned society into winners and losers.

The issue of globalization has some extent contributed to the increase of social injustice and inequality between countries, but the main argument is that these inequalities and injustices are not only a consequence of the policies used for globalization but also, they are the result of internal weaknesses including lack of diplomatic relations and weak relations of third world countries with leading countries in industry and technology, inflation etc. In spite of appearing positive signs to reduce inequality in some dimensions, inequality still persists and Covid-19 has widened the gap because it has done the most damage to the most vulnerable and poorest sections of society, while social, political and economic inequalities have also increased the effects of the epidemic, rising global unemployment and declining workers' incomes have jeopardized progress. The limitations that have occurred in the area of gender equality and women's rights are inequalities and they are more harmful for society with a very weak immune system that provides a poor health system for its citizens. The other main issues along with these inequalities are the situation of refugees and migrants as well as indigenous, elderly people, people with disabilities, especially children, are clearly visible and tangible. Covid-19 has challenged not only the systematic approach to global health, but also altruism and humanity.

That is why the secretary-general of the United Nations recently announced in a message with a wonderful meaning to the world: "Now is the time to stick to our commitment and approach and not leave anyone behind!"

The UN secretary-general called for solidarity with the poorest and most vulnerable countries in the world who need immediate support to respond to their worst economic and social crisis. There are several goals and strategies to form and lead human societies to achieve sustainable development goals (https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/inequality):

Promoting social, economic, political participation and empowerment of the people regardless of age, gender, disability, race, ethnicity, religion or economic status.

Ensure equal opportunities and reduce inequalities, including the elimination of discriminatory laws, policies and practices, and the promotion of appropriate laws, policies and practices in this area.

Adopt policies, especially fiscal, wage and social protection policies that will gradually achieve greater equity.

Improve regulation and oversight of global markets and financial institutions and strengthen enforcement of such regulation.

Ensure representation and greater participation of developing countries in decision-making in international economic and financial institutions in order to establish more effective, credible, accountable and legal institutions.

Facilitate regular, safe and responsible migration and mobility of individuals through the implementation of planned and managed immigration policies.

Implement special and different behavior for developing countries, especially underdeveloped countries, in accordance with World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements.

Encourage formal development assistance and financial flows, including foreign direct investment, to most desired countries, especially underdeveloped African countries, small island developing countries and landlocked developing countries, as planned; Their national programs.

By 2030, the cost of migrant remittance transactions will be reduced to less than 3% and remittance corridors with costs above 5% will be eliminated.

Emerging markets refers to economies with some characteristics such as considerable economic growth and possess some qualifications of developed economy. These markets are countries that moving towards developed countries. It is a transition from developing to developed phase. Some characteristics of emerging market economies are as follows:

Economies making a transition

Rapid industrialization (i.e., development of secondary and tertiary sectors)

Have potential to become developed economies

Low per capita and faster long-term economic growth than most developed economies

Many inhabitants still in poverty and high-income inequalities

Business struggle to access global markets (e.g., trade barriers) and chronic shortage of resources.

Huge diversity within market

Weak, highly variable infrastructure

Technology is underdeveloped

Weak distribution channels and media infrastructure

As it is clear, these countries have characteristics that will definitely cause problems when vaccinated, such as delayed access to vaccines, improper distribution, rent-seeking, and so on. In the next section, we will look at how vaccines are distributed in emerging countries.

In 1990, John Kenneth Galbraith, a Canadian American economist, politician, and diplomat, called poverty the strongest and most common human tragedy. About three decades have passed since that day, and despite the costs incurred in controlling poverty around the world, its powerful and devastating effects are being sacrificed because poverty effect deeply on education system, health, and so on.

Over the years, researchers who work on health field, have found ample evidence that shows how social and economic factors, including income, education, and goods they have access to, as well as structural factors such as racism and political inequality, affect health.

Although governments and reputable individuals spend the most budgets to combat this scourge, since no particular person or government has been able to control it, and this has led to irreparable damage for social health over time. But there is a main question:

"Has the allocation of such resources by governments or reputable individuals optimally reduced poverty?"

Relationship between income and health

"Your income affects your health," says Lavdan Aron of the urban Institute. Aaron also admitted in an interview;

"Wherever you are in terms of income, there are better people than you who are healthier and live longer, and people who are more financially disadvantaged will probably not live longer on average as a group!"

Longevity is not the only thing that changes with income level

Aaron and colleagues cite data from the center for disease control and prevention, which shows that some diseases are less common among higher-income groups.

Cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis and many other physical problems affect sections of the low-income population.

According to the data, the more money you earn, the less likely you are to have a stroke.

Also keep in mind that health also affects income, which means that people with poor physical or mental health will work harder.

We enumerate a few cases of such problems in order to pay more attention and consciously in the interests of society, health and public welfare (https://www.businessinsider.com/how-income-affects-health):

People with lower incomes usually have less money to take care of themselves, whether to see a doctor and medicine or to eat healthy food and having free time.

Low-income stress, especially in childhood, increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes

People with higher incomes live in areas with healthier resources such as grocery stores, safe housing, exercise opportunities, clean air and better schools.

Poor health and disability can prevent more people from earning more, so it is not possible to say exactly that in any scenario, low income causes weakness health or vice versa, but there is no doubt that there is a strong and close relationship between low income and poor health.

Due to the impact of social and economic factors on health, better coordination, participation and integration with the human services sector helps to improve this situation. So, as a result, the health care sector cannot improve health outcomes lonely. Therefore, health care and human services can be considered as a subset of broader multi-sectoral collaborations, and finally, in order to understand the potential integration of health care and social services, scientific gaps in key areas must be filled.

With the discovery of the COVID-19 vaccine, countries have begun to vaccinate the public. But in emerging countries, there are some challenges. Governments don't have enough doses of vaccine in order to immunize entire population. So, the distribution function can be difficult or time-consuming. This function depends on economic infrastructure. Research shows that emerging countries are keen to use the COVID-19 vaccine if it is available. The followingFigure figure shows the tendency of emerging economies to adopt the COVID-19 vaccine compared to some developed countries.

As it is clear, emerging countries are more likely to seek vaccines, while in practice the share of developed countries is higher. The motto of the world health organization has always been equality, but in practice it has failed. Statistics show that the power of developed countries has been greater in pre-order vaccines to immunize populations several times. BelowFigure figure shows the vaccination treatments per capita on order. It is clear that the share of EM is fewer on order from a narrower basket of producers.

Emerging economies have access to vaccines that are not yet in the final phase and are not very popular. For example, Pfizer/BioNTech almost used in UK and US because it is expensive and includes harsh storage conditions such as freezing temperatures that is challengeable for some EM that have climate changes. Instead, many EM selected alternative vaccines which belong to Russia and China such as Gamaleya’s Sputnik V, Sinovac, Sinopharm etc.

Many people may die by the time some vaccines in emerging countries prove effective. Even if the vaccine is available, they will have trouble distributing it. So, some EM with high populations and poor infrastructure such as India and Brazil will have trouble.

The economic impact of COVID-19 vaccine is different in EM countries. Some EM deal with COVID-19 relatively well such as China and Taiwan and benefit more than others. Thus, the rate of exports is much more than before. On the other hand, some countries with good tourism industries such as Brazil, Thailand and Egypt were affected by the advent of the Corona. In the following figure, you can see the countries that are more service-based.

It can be understanding that vaccines are likely to be of more benefit to countries with large services sectors.

The percentage of vaccinated population varies in emerging countries. For example, Chile’s population had received at least one dose of vaccination, and it had inoculated an impressive 5% of the population in the previous seven days. Some countries in central eastern Europe made more progress, i.e., they have vaccinated about 7% of their populations. The followingTable shows the percentage of vaccinated population against COVID-19 (Source: Deutsche Bank, 24 Feb-2021).

Most of the EM countries are rarely vaccinated. For example, India and Mexico had delivered a first shot of vaccine to about only 1% of their populations, while Brazil had inoculated only 3%. Most EM countries are import-based. So, we should expect such delays because first the developed countries vaccinate and then they export them to EM countries. Some EM countries such as Brazil and Egypt have licensed and manufacture and produce vaccine themselves and it could speed up vaccination in the months ahead. But there are some EM countries that relying on imports of shots. So, the vaccination will be slow.

Some analysts believe that EM countries with low income and insufficient fiscal budget or low GDP will get into trouble for vaccination until the end of 2022.

Goldman Sachs has a base case scenario for herd immunity to be reached in most emerging markets between late 2021 and mid-2022, with richer economies and those with greater vaccine supply reaching it sooner. You can see more details inFigure figure 7:

There are some reasons that cause increasing the gap between EM and developed countries:

Lack of adequate vaccine supply in emerging markets

The large purchases of vaccine doses by developed markets

Late start to vaccinations in Asia

Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) calls on wealthy countries to lead to fulfill this exemption, in a bid to oppose not blocking rescue aid for billions of people in other parts of the world.

They believe that there is no equal situation and in this critical situation, no one is exempt from helping the world community if it is able to control it, and this epidemic will not end until it is over for everyone.

The purpose of the Intellectual Property Exemption (IP) is to allow countries not to apply patents and other patents that could impede the production and supply of COVID-19 medical devices. If the exemption is approved, it will send an important signal to potential manufacturers that they can produce the tools required for COVID-19 without fear of being blocked by the invention or other patents. The proposal is now formally supported by Eswatini, Kenya, Mozambique, Pakistan, Mongolia, Venezuela, Bolivia, Zimbabwe and Egypt. However, a small group of WTO members, including the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, and Switzerland, Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador and Australia continue to oppose it.

Given the statistics since the appearance and spread of the epidemic, the need to ensure global open access and the right to manufacture and supply COVID-19 health technologies is widely accepted. Despite the efforts and statements of several heads of state that COVID-19 medical products are considered "global common goods", due to the epidemic, especially in African countries, little has been achieved to date.

However, countries opposed to the IP exemption plan continue to delay reaching common ground and advancing the process, and continue to use delayed tactics to halt the passage of the enactment.

There is only an important point and that is the life of human societies over time, which means that the lives of many people are related to the adoption of this important issue (https://www.msf.org/msf-urges-wealthy-countries-not-block-covid-19-patent-waiver?).

How many COVID-19 vaccines are the United States and other G7 countries committed to testing?

The United States has pledged to donate 500 million more doses of the Pfizer vaccine to poorer countries starting next year, bringing its total commitment to more than 1 billion doses.

The grant is driven by COVAX, an international plan designed to ensure that low-income countries retreat in the fight against COVID-19, so that rich countries pay attention (financial support) to poorer countries with the primary goal of providing two billion doses of vaccine in worldwide in 2021 and 1.8 billion doses to 92 poor countries by early 2022.

Ghana was the first country to receive COVAX vaccines in February.

Since, more than 303 million doses of the vaccine have been delivered through COVAX to 142 countries, including Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia and Fiji.

Which countries donate the vaccine and how many?

Sponsors of the project (COVAX) include the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, the United Arab Emirates, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Portugal, and have pledged to donate both additional money and additional doses of vaccine sources.

How was COVAX released?

According to Oxford university, while many high-income countries have already given at least one injection to more than half of their population, only 2% of people in low-income countries have received the first dose, while some Countries have fully vaccinated large numbers of their populations, many countries have just started or in some cases are still waiting for their first doses.

For instance, according to official statistics from the Bloomberg website, despite the fact that the America, Asia and Australia have vaccinated a high percentage of their citizens, African countries have vaccinated a very small percentage of their citizens, while Morocco, with a population of 36 million, has 59 million doses, but overall, it does not provide acceptable statistics on the continent, and it is much lower and more critical than the world standard.

According to experts, even if COVAX achieves its goal of vaccinating 20 percent of the population in its 92 target countries, it is the lowest level needed to end the epidemic (https://www.bbc.com).

Corona vaccination around the world

More than 6.27 billion doses have been prescribed in 184 countries, and more than 4.1 billion people have received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, or 46.4 percent of the world's population while the last rate was approximately 31.2 million doses per day. (For getting more information, you can see Our world in data project at the university of Oxford).

Vaccine doses are relatively scarce worldwide, and demand is still expected to exceed supply by the end of 2021.

Countries with some qualifications such as low income, low GDP or generally, third world countries rely on the distribution of COVAX vaccines, which were originally intended to provide two billion doses by the end of the year, but have repeatedly lowered their forecasts due to production problems, export bans and vaccine hoarding by rich countries. In its latest forecast, a total of 1.4 billion doses are expected to be available by the end of 2021.

By only 0.5% of doses administered in low-income countries and 78% of vaccination statistics worldwide in high-and middle-income countries, this can lead to a significant gap between different areas around the world.

Africa has the slowest vaccination rate among other continents. Only 6.8 percent of people have received at least one dose of the vaccine.

According to Bloomberg, in the United States, 398 million doses have been administered so far, and last week, an average of 725,777 doses were administered per day.

The highest-income countries and regions are vaccinated more than 20 times faster than the low-income countries (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccinations-tracker.html).

Keep in mind that on a global scale, this level of vaccination is very alarming.

Globally, the latest vaccination rate averages 31,175,855 doses per day, but at this rate, it will take another six months to reach 75% of the world's population.

Israel has shown for the first time that vaccines can prevent COVID-19 infections. It was a world leader in early vaccination, with more than 84 percent of people 70 and older receiving two doses by February.

Elsewhere in the world, vaccine distribution in the United States is administered by the federal government, and more than half of the US population has been fully vaccinated, although the United States has been a world leader in vaccination since then. Several countries have overtaken them in the field of vaccination.

According to Bloomberg, 214 million American have received at least one dose of the vaccine (That means about 83.1 percent of the adult population and at least 185 million people have completed the vaccination regimen).

The United States also sends part of its supply surplus to other affected regions of the world.

U.S. health officials are currently focusing on how to vaccinate people who do not want to be vaccinated. The young and unvaccinated population is increasingly the key to controlling the epidemic (Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/covid-vaccine-tracker-global-distribution).

Five members of EM countries which are called BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) as well as Argentina, Indonesia, Mexico, Nigeria and Turkey play an important role in achievement of sustainable development goals. Global food security is very crucial and China, Brazil and India have decided to take a part in these activities in terms of production, exports and imports and they have negotiated with WTO and their vital roles on international trade. So, they can fight against hunger and help undernourished people around the world (SDGs no.1).

They have also been successful in technology. For example, China and Brazil or Russia have tried to transfer their technologies to other countries with weaker infrastructures such as Africa (SDGs no. 9). Recently, consumer demand has increased in EM countries most notably Brazil, Russia, India and China and it has decreased in developed countries such as US and in Western Europe. Because the products of emerging markets are cheap, high quality and diverse, it has a lot of fans, which is in the interest of the global economy (SDGs no. 8 & 12).

Most of the emerging economies had high growth rate and this can help them combat and fight against poverty (SDGs no. 1). Poverty can lead to inequality in different dimensions such as social protection, erratic access to education and to basic services, difficulties for women in obtaining employment and progressing in their careers, ethnic, as well as regional differences. EM countries have always tried to pay attention to climate changes which affecting agriculture and food production, infectious disease etc. (SDGs no. 13). They always hold and execute conferences and seminars on environmental issues. Because of inequality in rural area, they face discrimination in accessing productive resources, such as land, extension services, technical training and markets.

First of all, let's check the statistical and numbers of COVID-19 daily new cases, daily death cases in Iran.

Various projects for the production of Iranian Corona vaccine in the country are being developed by researchers, and 8 active projects are being licensed to enter the clinical phase. Among the vaccine producing countries, our country is also active and has started producing vaccines. Iran is currently ranked 11th in the world in terms of (number of vaccines) among the 16 manufacturers of Corona vaccines. According to ministry of health officials, 12 teams are working on producing the Corona vaccine. Executive staff of Imam Khomeini (RA) and Barekat Institute, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Razi Vaccine and Serum Institute, a number of universities of medical sciences, ministry of defense, companies and knowledge-based institutions are some of the implementers of this project in our country. The situation of Iranian Corona vaccine production projects is different. Some have submitted their clinical phase information to the food and drug administration for authorization, while others are in the animal phase status. The platform for the production of this vaccine (Barekat), which is in the human testing phase, is based on "killed virus" and 56 volunteers have been considered for the injection of this vaccine.

In the Corona vaccine co-produced with Cuba, the animal phase has passed. Phase one of the clinical trial was conducted under the supervision of the Pasteur institute of Iran in that country; Phase 2 is also underway, and after analyzing the results of Phase 2, Phase 3, which is the safest phase, will be performed on about 50,000 people in February and March.

Another of these vaccines is the Razi company vaccine. The vaccine is based on "recombinant protein" and human tests are underway.

Until the vaccines were prepared, the authorities were thinking of importing valid vaccines into the country, including Sputnik V, Sinovak, Sinofarm, etc. People were divided into different groups to start vaccinating the general public. First the medical staff, then the elderly and those with underlying diseases, and then the employed and the young.

In the following, you can see theTable table of active Iranian Corona vaccine projects;

People are being vaccinated more quickly, and a number of vaccines are in the final stages of mass production like Barekat. We hope that this disease will be eradicated in Iran and in the world as soon as possible.

In this part, we have tried to prediction daily new death cases in Iran as a case study. So, we got considered data from https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus. The considered time interval is from Feb-2020 to August-2021. Beetle Antennae Search (BAS) and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are considered algorithms. Econometric models such as Autoregressive–moving-average (ARMA) along with regression analysis is being used as a benchmark and comparability.

Authors should discuss the results and how they can be interpreted from the perspective of previous studies and of the working hypotheses. The findings and their implications should be discussed in the broadest context possible. Future research directions may also be highlighted.

Artificial neural network is the simulation of thinking mechanism in human. It has three layers: 1. Input layer 2. Hidden layer 3. Output layer. Data transfer from input layer to hidden layer and each layer has an activation function for recognition. The first activation function is a non-linear function. Each layer contains some weights and a bias and they sum together and make ready for transferring to the next layer means output layer or target. There is an activation function between hidden and output later which is linear function. Again, weights and bias are added together.

The number of neurons and layers can be obtained by trial and error. Thus, the network uses 1-32 neurons to achieve the best one. It is clear that our output variable (i.e., target) is new vaccinations.

This process can be seen inFigure 8 and is the architecture of the considered network [ 42].

InFigure figure 2, P is the input pattern, b1 is the vector of bias weights on the hidden neurons, and W1 is the weight matrix between 0th (i.e., input) layer and 1th (i.e., hidden) layer. a1 is the vector containing the outputs from the hidden neurons, and n1 is the vector containing net-inputs going into the hidden neurons, a2 is the column-vector coming from the second output layer, and n2 is the column-vector containing the net inputs going into the output layer. W2 is the synaptic weight matrix between the 1st (i.e., hidden) layer and the 2nd (i.e., output) layer and b2 is the column-vector containing the bias inputs of the output neurons. Each row of W2 matrix contains the synaptic weights for the corresponding output neuron [ 43]. Firstly, the neuron receives information from the environment and then this information multiplied by the corresponding weights is added together and used as a parameter within an activation (transfer) function. [ 44]. The transfer functions are used to prevent outputs from reaching very large values that can 'paralyze' ANN structure. For hidden layer, suitable transfer function is particularly needed to introduce non-linearity into the network because it gives the power to capture non-linear relationship between input and output [ 45].

There are two important functions in ANN: 1. Training 2. Testing. We used 70% of data for training and 30% for testing.

In order to using ANN, firstly, we should normalize data between . So, it can be possible using the following equation:

Where:

${\tilde{S}}_i$: Normalized data

$S_i$: Each observation of each variable

$S_{\min }$: Minimum value of each variable

$S_{\max }$: Maximum value of each variable

In equation 1, numerator $i$ is the amount of data. Considered parameters are expressed in table11.

BP algorithm is used as a network learning method. LM is used as an optimization algorithm to decrease the rate of error. At first, the rate of training is equal to 0.01 which can decrease to 0.001. Two types of activation function (non-linear and linear) have been used.

Figure 9 represents the methodology:

Beetle Antennae Search (BAS) introduced by Jiang. X and Li, S., in 2017 which is inspired by the search behavior of longhorn beetles [ 46]. These beetles have some special qualifications such as interesting antennae which acting as sensing systems and warning mechanism. They have two important roles: 1. Bind to odors of prey and 2. Obtain the sex pheromone of potential suitable mate. Their search and exploration mechanism are randomly. It could be possible to formulate these mechanisms. So, we should consider different parameters such as position of the beetle as a vector $x^t$ at $t$th time instant ($t=1. 2. \dots )$ and the concentration of odor at position $x$ to be $f\left(x\right)$ which known as fitness function. We need to formulate two kinds of behavior: ($i$) searching behavior and ($ii$) detecting behavior. As we mentioned earlier, the searching mechanism of these beetles are randomly. So, we can formulate it as below equation:

Where;

(.): a random function

$k$: dimensions of position

it could be possible to imitate and formulate the mechanism of two antennae sides.

Where;

$x_r$: a position lying in the searching area of right-hand side

$x_l$: a position lying in the searching area of left-hand side

$d$: the sensing length of antennae corresponding to the exploit ability

We should note that $d$ is better to be large enough for covering an appropriate searching space and preventing local minima.

The next step is formulating the behavior of detecting by considering the searching behavior:

Where;

$\delta$: the step size of searching which is related to convergence speed that following a decreasing function or a constant.

Sign (.): a sign function

We should update two parameters such as antennae length $d$ and step size $\delta$ as follows:

The BAS algorithm pseudo-code can be expressed as follows:

This article is based on two methods means ANN and BAS algorithm. But, four other algorithms such as particle swarm optimization (PSO), time-varying acceleration coefficients particle swarm optimization (TVAC-PSO), modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO) and Chimp optimization (Cho) algorithms have been used as optimization algorithms.

PSO algorithm proposed by [ 47]. It begins with initial population and in sequential iterations moving toward optimization answer. In each iteration, two answers calculate ($X^{Gbest}$ and $X^{i-pbest}$) which represent the best acquired location for each particle and best location in current location respectively. Each particle has two main parameters means speed and velocity.

The simple PSO doesn't have inertia weight parameter. In PSO algorithm, inertia factor $\omega$ according to literature decrease linearly.

Here ${iter}_{max}$ is the biggest evolution of algebra, $iter$ is the algebra for this evolution. Improved particle swarm optimization algorithm BP operations driven by the amount of correction of the weights of the way, that the amount of correction of the weights between the neural network node m and node n from below equation:

Here, the amount of correlation of the conventional BP, $\alpha$ is algorithm, and $y_m\left(t\right)$ is the momentum term inertia coefficient for the output node m [ 48].

There is a parameter for improving exploitation and exploration and preventing local trap. In this strategy, each particle has its own ${{[rbest}_i}^j={{rbest}_{i1}}^j. {{rbest}_{i2}}^j. \dots . {{rbest}_{id}}^j]$which is randomly selected from the best position (Pbest) of other particles (Yitong, L., et al. 2007). A similar approach is applied to other particles in the swarm. We can use the following equations for updating velocity:

where, $c_3$is the acceleration coefficient that pulls each particle towards rbest. Both coefficients should be change in order to improving exploitation and exploration.

Generally, the hunting process of chimps is divided into two main phases: Exploration which consists of driving, blocking and chasing the prey and Exploitation which consists of attacking the prey.

The chimps hunting model means driving, blocking, chasing and attacking is modeled in this section.

In order to summarize the contents and paper, we have tried to present a general information and explanations about each optimization algorithm. For more information about each algorithm, their parameters and history or differences, please refer to Shahvaroughi Farahani, M. (2021).

Econometric models are statistical models have been used in econometrics [ 49]. Econometric models can be used when there are several independent variables and we want to check the impacts of each one on dependent variable, separately. Using suitable and appropriate econometric model is a sensitive operation because firstly, you need to know the properties and qualifications of your model and then, applying the best one. Normality and the type of distribution of data is important. There are many methods for testing normality [ 50]. We used Jarque-Bera (J-B) test. This is a goodness of fit test. it has some advantages than competitors due to symmetric distributions with medium up to long tails and for slightly skewed distributions with long tails. After finding data distribution, you can use an appropriate regression model. The next main point is testing for stationarity. We should check it because the trend and seasonality will affect the value of time series at different times [ 51]. As a result, Augmented-Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test is used as testing stationarity. For non-stationary time series, it could be possible to use differencing to make them stationary.

After performing the aforementioned tests, we will be able to choose an appropriate regression model. It should be noted that you can use linear or nonlinear regression models with respect to your data structure.

A simple linear regression with one independent variable and two dependent variables is presented below:

Where:

$y_i$: dependent variable

${\beta }_0$: intercept

${\beta }_1$: $x_i$ coefficient

$x_i$: independent variable

Finally, we predicted return for the next day using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. ARIMA is a statistical analysis model that uses time series data to either better understand the data set or to predict future trends.

The ARIMA model has three basic components: $\left[p,d,q\right]$ . Each one has an application. Autoregressive (AR(p)) model is an autoregressive model where specific lagged values of $Y_t$are used as predictor variables. Lags are where results from one-time period affect following periods. (p) presents the order. AR model means that the $Y_t$ is only depends on its previous values or own lags.

where, $(Y_{t-1}. Y_{t-2}. \dots . Y_{t-p})$ are the previous series values (lags), ${(\beta }_1. {\beta }_2. \dots . {\beta }_p)$ are the coefficient of lag that the model approximate and $\alpha$ is the intercept, also estimated by the model.

Moving Average (MA(q)) model is a model which $Y_t$ depends only on the lagged forecast errors

where the error terms are the errors of the autoregressive models of the respective lags. The errors ${\epsilon }_t$ and ${\epsilon }_{t-1}$ are the errors from the following equations:

That was AR and MA models respectively.

ARIMA model can form by integration of both AR(p) and MA(q) with a differencing. So, the equation becomes:

Figure shows the regression analysis and ARIMA process:

According to above Figure, first of all, you need to ensure about the availability of data. Then, based on the econometric model’s assumption, you should check linearity because it can impact on your applicable considered methods. Testing stationarity is helpful because the trend and seasonality will affect the value of time series at different times [ 52]. So, by differencing we can resolve this problem. Sometimes, there is a collinearity between predictor variables and it needs to correction because they cannot independently predict the value of the dependent variable. Now, the regression analysis can do. There are some criteria such as R-squared, Durbin Watson etc. which can present the goodness of fit. For applying ARIMA model as a predictive model, correlogram should check. Based on the figures, it is possible to diagnose the ARMA model.

First of all, as we mentioned earlier, we should normalize data. We used ANN in three steps: 1. Finding the best architecture 2. Training the network 3. Validation and testing. We used 70% of data and 30% for training and validation and testing respectively. The following pie chart details the uses of all the instances in the data set. The total number of instances is 534. The number of training instances is 374 (70%), the number of selection (validation) instances is 80 (15%), the number of testing instances is 80 (15%), and the number of unused instances is 0 (0%). Here, the number of variables is 3 i.e., new deaths and the new deaths with lag 1are as two inputs and the new deaths for the next period is as target. Validation data provides the first test against unseen data, allowing data scientists to evaluate how well the model makes predictions based on the new data (Source: https://www.applause.com).

Table 13 shows the best architecture after 500 iterations:

The best architecture is obtained based on Akaike information criterion (AIC) or fitness through trial and error. The best architecture is including 2 input layers means new death cases and new death cases with a lag, the number of hidden neurons in hidden layer which is 5 and 1 output layer which is the number of new cases for the next period. This structure has the highest R-Squared which is 0.961552. On the other hand, it has the lowest Akaike information criteria among the other architecture.Figure 12 shows the best network error after each iteration:

Almost after 350 iterations, the rate of error has not decreased and is stable.

The network qualifications and its properties are as the following table:

As we mentioned earlier, two types of activation function have been used (linear and non-linear). The next step is training the network. We used LM algorithm for training. Data set error and training and validation error can be seen inFigure 13.

The number of iterations is 8 because there was no error improvement. The error distribution and its parameters have been shown inFigure 14 andTable table 15 respectively.

As it is clear fromFigure figure 14, there are more errors at first and then it has decreased by training. There are more details about training parameters such as the number of iterations, the number of layers, the considered algorithm etc. inTable 13.

Levenberg-Marquardt is used as an optimization algorithm to diminish the network error. After using LM algorithm, the rate of error has decreased to 0.000073. Because after 8 iterations there was not any improvement in network error, the training has stopped.

Finally, we need to test the network with real data.Figure 15 shows the testing error graph (actual Vs. target) during each iteration:

As can be seen, the network can predict actual data because target and output lines (i.e., red and blue lines respectively) are almost match and coincident and it a sign of good training. But it can improve because still there are some gaps between actual versus predicted which is far from full (complete) coincident and a perfect prediction. As a result, we have stated different solution to overcome and address this problem.

More details about testing error means some means statistical errors and parameters can be seen in the followingTable table 16:

It is clear that the amount of $R^2$ is approximately high and it can be a good indication of well-trained and goodness of fit.

The average of daily new death cases is approximately 170 while the minimum and maximum is 1 and 448 respectively.

As a result, after these steps, the number of new death cases for the next period is 463.895934 and the result graph is asFigure 16.

In this article, we used BAS for network optimization, So, the considered parameters are as follows (table 17):

As we mentioned earlier, beetle antennae use random walk to search. We used Michalewicz function as a fitness function and to show the efficacy and validate the algorithm.

Where $m=10$ and $i=1. 2. \dots . n$ the minimized value satisfies $f_{*}\approx -1\bullet 801$ locating in $x_{*}\approx 2\bullet 2051$and 1.5719 in $i=2$dimensions.

The searching result can be seen inFigure 17.

This algorithm has three main factors: 1. Random walk 2. Sensing (antennae) length 3. Step size.Figure 17 shows the sensing length during each step size through the random walk process. As can be seen, BAS beginning stochastically and during each iteration, it can be very closed to the considered objective means minimum error and finding the best solution.

The rate of error during iterations is depicted inFigure 18.

After 100 iterations, $fbest$ and $xbest$ are equal to (2.2051, 1.5719) and -1.8012 respectively. As it can be observed, the rate of error is not changeable after 70 iterations. R-Squared is equal to 95.9958 which is almost equal to R-squared in ANN i.e., 0.953156.

The other optimization algorithms such as MPSO, PSO, TACPSO and ChOA and their results is asFigure figure 19.

Between these algorithms, ChOA has the lowest error estimation. The best optimal value of the objective function found by TVACPSO, PSO, MPSO, and ChOA are 1.4797, 4.0839, 40.1701 and 1.6474e-05 respectively. More details about ChOA is expressed inTable table 18.

As we mentioned earlier, it is better to check the normality because it is a main assumption. The followingFigure figure shows the new death cases distribution:

Figure 19 shows the positive skewness. So, we should be careful about using an appropriate model in regression analysis. To determine ARMA (p, q) order, the correlogram graph is needed. The followingFigure shows the correlogram of daily new death cases.

By looking at t-statistic and correlogram status, it is inferred that at least there is a unit root. So, we have used first-level differencing:

Checking stationary is the next step. So, ADF is used as a unit root test.

According toTable 19, the series at least has one-unit root based on t-statistic (i.e., -2.665211) in 1% and 5% level. So, we used first level differencing. You can see the results after a differencing:

Again, the previous conditions exist in both level (i.e., 1% &5%). So, we used the second differencing.

Now the series is stationary. So, for reassurance, we plotted a correlogram graph as the following:

One of the main software in econometric is Eviews. For estimation of ARIMA model, we have used automatic ARMA forecasting in Eviews10.

The results show that the best order for ARMA estimation based on AIC is ARMA (4,2). The best model is ARIMA (4,1,2) because of differencing. Figure23 shows the top 20 best ARMA model based on AIC.

In the appendix, there are equation output with model selection criteria (Table A2 & A3).

The next step is regression analysis. Eviews10 has been used as a main tool for calculations. Least Squares (Gauss-Newton / Marquardt steps) method along with 500 iterations has been used.

R-squared is approximately 0.95 which is high and can be a sign of good regression. C (2) is the next day daily new death cases.

The nextFigure shows the actual vs. predicted (fitted) value along with residual:

The red-line shows the actual data and the green-line shows the predicted data. The blue-line shows the residual too. As you can see, the red and green lines match well, which means that the forecast is pretty good.

In this paper, we have tried to use different methods to prediction of new death cases in Iran using AI based models and algorithms such as ANN, BAS algorithm, TACPSO, PSO, MPSO, and ChO algorithms.Table 24 shows the summary results:

According toTable table 22, the best and the worst performance belong to ChOA and MPSO algorithms respectively. The ARMA model has the average or median performance.

In this paper, we surveyed the impacts of Covid19 on economic condition and sustainable development goals from different point of view. As a case study, we predicted daily new death cases in Iran with AI based methods such as ANN and BAS algorithm and econometric models.

Definitely, Covid19 is the biggest challenges in 21^th century. This pandemic has overshadowed various aspects of human life such as economy, social, health etc. One of the best ways to overcome Covid19 is to get vaccinated. The distribution of the vaccine among different countries was discussed and we said that there is a gap between rich and poor countries in vaccine distribution.

We discussed the role of SDGs during pandemic and we shouldn't ignore it because it is a kind of mission which must be accomplished until 2030 and it is helpful for reducing the negative effects of pandemic.

The other point is that it needs to pay more attention to emerging economies because they have important role in economic growth and in achieving sustainable development goals. Vaccine can increase the achievement of sustainable development goals. As a result, countries that produce vaccines must be supported by international organizations such as WHO.

Finally, as a case study, we predicted daily new death cases in Iran from Feb-2020 to Aug-2021 using Beetle Antennae Search (BAS) algorithm and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) along with other algorithms such as ChOA, MPSO etc. As a complementary or as a benchmark model, we used time series model such as ARMA model with regression analysis. The results showed that both models mean AI based (ANN) and econometric model have the same R-squared (0.9531 & 0.9552) relatively. On the other hand, the rate of error is very close to each other (i.e., 113.7387 & 117.9522). But optimization algorithms have improved and boosted the models such as ChOA which has the lowest error (7.4341e-05) among other algorithms.

We cannot say which model (AI or econometric models) is better. But AI based models have some characteristics such as speed up calculations, compatible with complex data structure, improve by training etc. which can make them difference from other models like econometrics.

The last note is that we can end Corona reign as soon as possible and celebrate its end by coordinating internationally and avoiding rent-seeking.

As a recommendation, it is possible to use novel metaheuristic algorithms such as Artificial hummingbird algorithm (2022), Archimedes optimization algorithm (2021), Honey Badger Algorithm (2022) etc. to predict the new waves or end of the pandemic.
