“Considerations for a Post-COVID Economy”

Forecasting the future path of the economy is always an uncertain business, but even more so now when the path of medical recovery from the COVID virus is uncertain. In this Colloquium, Dr. Ray Hill, Senior Lecturer in Finance at Goizueta Business School, will discuss how we might think about the path to the post-COVID 19 economy. How quickly is the economy likely to snap back? Should we expect that the experience of the last year will result in permanent changes for some sectors of the economy? What does the tremendous increase in Federal government borrowing mean for future interest rates? Should we expect higher inflation as a result of the Federal Reserve’s injections of liquidity and the government’s huge fiscal deficit? Do economists have any reliable answers to any of these questions? And will Dr. Hill have any reliable answers to ours?  Do come and find out.
