Economic Policy Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and other crises Monday 27 March 2023, 15:00 – 16:45 BST

A Collaboration between TARC and AUEB/EMOP

Economies have been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis. In response, and to protect income, governments have intervened through fiscal policies such as temporary tax cuts, liquidity support in the form of special purpose transfers, wage subsidies and furloughing schemes. This panel discussion will reflect on some of the recent evidence regarding whether these policies indeed stimulated, as expected, business activity and consumer spending.
