Dr. Robert Axtell - Economic Remedies Due to COVID-19
As this wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease reaches its peak, questions abound concerning how best to lift stay-at-home and related physical and social distancing strictures. Specifically, with unemployment approaching levels not seen since the Great Depression and quarterly output well below a year ago, ways to ‘restart’ the economy are being widely discussed and, to some extent, modeled. This week I will lead a broad overview discussion of such models as Congress debates more economic remedies.
