Lessons from Fiscal Policy in the Pandemic: The ODE Distinguished Economist Award Lecture

Christina D. Romer

The American Economist, 2022, vol. 67, issue 2, 164-182

Abstract: This lecture examines the lessons learned from the fiscal policy response to the Covid-19 pandemic. For each lesson, it discusses how the pandemic experience corroborates or contradicts earlier evidence on the efficacy and optimal design of fiscal policy. It also considers whether the lessons from the pandemic are likely to carry over to future recessions.
