Abstract

The significant damage of COVID-19 on the world economy forces us to reconsider a deep
restructuration domestically and internationally in the next few years. This paper suggests a
Post-COVID-19 reconstruction model is called “The National Domestic Economic Auto-
Sustainability Model (NDEAS-Model).” The NDEAS-Model proposes four economic
platforms: (i) the domestic education and technical training standardization platform (P1); (ii)
the domestic productive infrastructure and transportation platform (P2); (iii) the selective
strategic trade, investment, and tourism protection platform (P3); (iv) the environmental and
natural resources management platform (P4). The main objective of NDEAS-Model is to avoid
imported massive pandemic diseases, non-sustainable and weak food security platforms, and
job diversion, respectively.

Introduction

The national domestic economic auto-sustainability model (NDEAS-Model) applies to any
country worldwide. In proposing the application of the NDEAS-Model, this study presents a
three-part analysis: (i) an introduction to the NDEAS-Model; (ii) the NDEAS-Model Platform;
(iii) how the NDEAS-Model works?; (iv) the last part of the analysis aims to demonstrate the
post-effects of NDEAS-Model implementation to generate strong economies after a massive
pandemic contagious diseases, and thus, to integrate any country domestically and regionally
more than globally. The NDEAS-Model is intended to be a proposal to offer a new economic
model to avoid massive pandemic damage. The NDEAS-Model demonstrates the necessary
conditions to succeed in any country in the case of worldwide pandemic diseases is essential
to implement new economic platforms offered by NDEAS-Model. This research paper
proposes the implementation of the NDEAS-Model to help any country reduce its vulnerability
in the case of worldwide pandemic diseases anytime and anywhere. The NDEAS-Model will
generate sustainable food security in any country. In turn, the job creation (less unemployment)
effect will create a spillover effect in any economy in the short run. In the long term, this helps
reduce import dependency and imported inflation, respectively.
