Restarting the Economy While Saving Lives: Italy Under COVID-19
 

Description:

The main question all countries are facing throughout the world is how to restart their economies while saving lives during the pandemic. Researchers Carlo A. Favero (Bocconi University), Andrea Ichino (European University Institute), and Aldo Rustichini (University of Minnesota) examine these challenges with data from two Italian regions hit hard by COVID-19: Lombardy and Veneto.


This event is part of our special series on Europe and COVID-19. Across Europe, countries are emerging from months-long public health measures and lockdowns designed to curb the spread of the coronavirus. Now, governments are slowly lifting restrictions on restaurants and bars, while schools are reopening. International tourism is about to resume. To provide on-the-ground perspectives on how the pandemic has impacted health, politics, society and the economy in Europe, IES will engage experts from across the continent in conversation.
