The world is in a deep recession caused by the coronavirus. It is a recession unlike any other in the past century at least. Professor of Economics Jonathan Wright leads an hour-long discussion focused on how to think about the short- and longer-term effects of the coronavirus on US economic activity. It will summarize monetary and fiscal policies that have been put in place and their likely mitigating effects. Finally, the talk will touch on the trade offs between public health and economic costs including unemployment. Visit https://www.jhu.edu/hopkinsathome/ to see other lectures.
