As people and economies around the world reel from the impact of COVID-19, one thing is clear: facts are at a premium. To provide new insights grounded in research, the Becker Friedman Institute has partnered with Stitcher to produce Pandemic Economics<https://uchicago.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cb1276cdf90fa4a6b74dfefa3&id=98a38eb9e1&e=02cf78e1cc>, a unique podcast focusing on the economic impacts of COVID-19.
Hosts Tess Vigeland<https://uchicago.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cb1276cdf90fa4a6b74dfefa3&id=73033f0ff9&e=02cf78e1cc> and Eduardo Porter<https://uchicago.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=cb1276cdf90fa4a6b74dfefa3&id=fd091ef246&e=02cf78e1cc> draw from their experiences as veteran journalists to engage UChicago economists about their research on various aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, revealing important new ways to make sense of this moment. Topics range from global trade and implications for poverty and inequality to the changing ways we work.

Pandemic Economics launches today with an episode highlighting the economic benefits of social distancing. New episodes will be released every Thursday.
