** Lags, externalities, lockdowns and vaccines
Tuesday, 3rd November 2020 at 6.00pm UK time
------------------------------------------------------------

Do the costs of lockdown measures across the world match or exceed the costs of the virus itself? Have we thought about the ongoing economic impacts of action and inaction? Is the world ready for the economics of a vaccine? Have we internalised the full costs of the long-run consequences of covid?

All these questions and more will be answered as we explore the lags, externalities, and the coming economic battles over lockdowns and vaccines.

As we will be hosting this on US election day, there may even be time for a quick question on how each election result (or indeed the lack of one) may change the policy response.
