SUMMARY:"COVID-19 and Economic Opportunity Across ZIP Codes in America: New Insights from Big Data" with Raj Chetty
DESCRIPTION:<p><span>This talk will first discuss how the COVID pandemic is affecting&nbsp;the American economy at the ZIP code level, drawing on new&nbsp;real time data to trace the impacts of the crisis on consumer&nbsp;spending, business, and employment prospects. It will then&nbsp;discuss the impacts of major policies enacted to date to&nbsp;mitigate economic losses - ranging from state-ordered&nbsp;shutdowns to the stimulus program -- and consider what&nbsp;approaches will best foster recovery and limit hardship for&nbsp;American families going forward. Finally, Dr. Chetty will discuss&nbsp;his recent work on the COVID crisis in the context of his&nbsp;research lab's broader work on equality of opportunity and&nbsp;racial equity, describing how the current crisis links to broader&nbsp;structural challenges in the American economy.</span></p>
