The pandemic is dramatically illustrating one area in which the epidemiologists are beating the economists about 100-1: publishing. Scientific publications are reviewed and posted in days, contributing in real time to the policy debate.

Hoover Institution fellow John Cochrane discusses his Grumpy Economist post "Dumb reopening might just work."

Hoover Institution fellow Lanhee Chen discusses his Townhall piece "The Schools: A Key to America’s Reopening."

Hoover Institution fellow Larry Diamond discusses whether authoritarian states are inherently better suited to deal with the pandemic; what is at stake for democratic states as they attempt to mitigate the effects of the coronavirus; what are the lasting implications for governments in a post-pandemic world; and are we witnessing a series of transformative events that will fundamentally alter governments’ relations with their publics?
