Career Lunch & Learn: Economic Insights for Dealing with the Uncertainty Related to Covid-19

Everything has changed. Just weeks ago, all of us were living our usual busy lives. Now, things normally taken for granted—an evening with friends, the daily commute, a plane flight home—are no longer possible. There is uncertainty about tomorrow and daily reports of increasing infections and deaths around the world, along with anxiety and great loss.   Businesses are being shuttered and people are losing jobs. In Europe and in the United States, the required lockdowns of the population and other efforts to control the virus are likely to lead to the largest quarterly decline in economic activity since the Second World War. In addition to the immediate concern about the very real impact on human lives, there is fear about the severe economic downturn, and its impact on human livelihoods, that may result from a prolonged battle with the novel coronavirus.   To solve for both the virus and the economy, we need to establish behaviors that stem the spread of the virus and work toward a situation in which most people can return to work, to family duties, and to social lives. In this webinar from May 21, 2020, Govindrarajan shares what he and his colleagues are seeing from their own analysis and offers ways to think about the pressing economic issues we all face together during this crisis.   Moderated by: Diana Chien, PhD ’16 Presented by: Arvind Govindarajan PhD ’05 Articles provided by the speaker to serve as supplemental material and resources from this presentation: Safeguarding our Lives and our Livelihoods: The imperative of our time - https://bit.ly/36BmkYD Crushing coronavirus uncertainty: The big 'unlock' for our economies - https://bit.ly/3c4HrDN In the tunnel: Executive expectations about the shape of the coronavirus - https://bit.ly/2B4TWTc For more information on MIT Alumni Association Career Lunch & Learns, visit http://bit.ly/33NLTUe
