Скачать или смотреть ERC Webinar 'The Local Effects of Covid 19': Chris Thoung & Ben Gardiner w/Jacque Mallender

Wednesday 17th June @ 6pm until 7pm
www.ercouncil.org
The COVID-19 pandemic is a health crisis. Moreover, as a succession of macroeconomic forecasts are now showing, the pandemic is also a major economic shock. However, place matters, and the distribution of impacts will vary across areas of the UK. Taking a local perspective, and drawing on ongoing work by Cambridge Econometrics, this talk will consider the geography of the potential economic impacts through the lenses of economic exposure, wider economic impacts, and resilience and the prospects for recovery.

Speakers

Chris Thoung is an Associate Director at Cambridge Econometrics, overseeing the company’s work on social policy issues including jobs, skills, demography, health and inequality. He specialises in economic analysis to inform public policy for local and national governments, international organisations, and NGOs. Much of his recent work has considered regional variations in the circumstances of local areas and what this might mean for their prospects and policy action. As well as consultancy, Chris has previously held roles in the public sector and think tanks.

Ben Gardiner is a Director of Cambridge Econometrics, where he leads the Regions, Cities and Local Areas team. His work ranges from projects for regional bodies (such as the Midlands Economic Observatory, the Northern Powerhouse, and on a forecasting model for the East of England), to city groups such as the Core Cities Group and individual cities such as London, Milton Keynes, Oxford, and Leeds. Most work involves investigating economic performance, economic resilience and relating this to strategy and policy actions. Alongside his role at Cambridge Econometrics he has worked at the European Commission as a senior scientist and as a research associate at Cambridge University.
