Policy Responses

'Economic Policy Responses to COVID-19 pandemic and other crises' is a colloboration between TARC and AUEB.

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.
