Economics in the Time of Covid-19

This ‘Vox Debate’ gathered research-based policy analysis and commentary on the economics of COVID-19 from leading economists. The topics covered all the usual international mechanisms of contagion (trade, capital flows, financial institutions, expectations, etc) as well as the domestic impact such as the size, persistence, and sectoral composition of the economic implements. The topics, however, also ranged further to include the impact on political economy, populism, income and gender inequality, the environmental impact, precarity of work (gig economy), and more.

This debate is now retired.
