Online Events Series: The economics of the COVID-19 pandemic
We will look at the economics of the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on economic activity, employment, supply & demand, globalisation, trade, the developing countries, businesses and gender balance. How should recovery packages be designed? What are the implications for public finance? And, when the dust settles, what should we have done differently, and what should we do differently to prepare for next time?

Online Events Series: Building back better - lessons and opportunities from the
COVID-19 pandemic
As COVID-19 affects every aspect of our lives across the world, what does the future hold? What changes will this experience bring to the way we work, study and play, the way we organise our cities and our economies, the way we use technology and our relationship with the natural world.
We will host a series of events to look at the varied impacts of the virus and explore how we can ensure that the world learns the right lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic, and that we seize the opportunities that it does present to build back better.

Online Book Talk
'The Ages of Globalization' with Prof Jeff Sachs
Tuesday 27 October, 5pm - 6pm
We are justified to say that we are living through a new age of globalisation, which Professor Jeff Sachs calls the Digital Age. The hugely disruptive changes were already with us before Covid-19, but now we’ve been hurled head-first into the new age.It is marked by enormous geopolitical, technological, and environmental disruptions, posing great risks as well as opportunities. To understand the Digital Age better, it is enormously valuable to gain a historical perspective.
Professor Jeff Sachs' new book
The Ages of Globalization and this talk, explores the interactions of technology, geography, and institutions throughout human history, describing seven ages of globalisation and the nature of societal change from one age to the next.
