65 - COVIDCast #16 - Prof Mauro Guillen - The Economic Impact of the Pandemic

This episode is a recording of a virtual talk hosted by Penn HealthX with Professor Mauro Guillen. In the talk, Professor Guillen discussed the economic impacts of the pandemic and makes the case for opening the economy as soon as we can do so safely. Though the presentation included slides, the audio is easy to follow along with. The intended audience for the talk was medical students without a background in economics, and many of the questions asked and discussion that resulted from them are relevant to any healthcare provider, or anyone who wants to learn from one of the most respected economists at Wharton.
