The Harvard Alumni Association presents a webinar with Professor Raj Chetty AB ’00, PhD ’03, William A. Ackman Professor of Public Economics at Harvard University

Join the alumni YouTube livestream with Professor Chetty for a discussion of how the COVID pandemic is affecting the American economy at the ZIP code level, drawing on new real time data to trace the impacts of the crisis on consumer spending, business, and employment prospects. Dr. Chetty will also address his recent work on the COVID crisis in the context of his research lab's broader work on equality of opportunity and racial equity, describing how the current crisis links to broader structural challenges in the American economy.
