The Department of Economics at the University of Zurich plays a leading role in the academic world. Our motto is “Pioneering Economics”. With our forward-thinking attitude and multidisciplinary approach, we have entered uncharted territory. Our ambition is to find answers to the most pressing questions of our time and to offer direction to students, to leaders, and to policy makers alike. At the Department, we encourage our researchers to approach their research projects fearlessly, openly – with ambition and curiosity. It is our belief that this is the way to achieve groundbreaking results, which can help change the world for the better. As Covid-19 continues to hold a tight grip on the world, experts from a wide range of disciplines are studying the pandemic and its impact on our lives. To grasp the economic dimension of the crisis, various studies have been underway at the University of Zurich’s Department of Economics since the outbreak of Covid-19. What is the economic damage, how can it be repaired, and what awaits us in the coming years: recession or a structural change? This is where the online event series “Pandemic and Economics” comes in, with four experts presenting and discussing current findings from their research areas. www.econ.uzh.ch/de.html With : - Teodora Boneva, Assistant Professor of Economics of Child and Youth Development, endowed by the Jacobs Center for Productive Youth Development, University of Zurich - Mathilde Le Moigne, Senior Research Fellow, Kühne Center for Sustainable Globalization, University of Zurich - Christian Ruff, Professor of Neuroeconomics and Decision Neuroscience, University of Zurich - Tobias Straumann, “Privatdozent” for Economic History, University of Zurich This event series was enabled by the Excellence Foundation Zurich. © University of Zurich, Department of Economics, 2021 #UZHEconomics #UniversityofZurich #UZH
