COVID-19 has had a devastating impact across the United States economy, but its effects are not evenly distributed among states or industries.
REMI Senior Economist Peter Evangelakis, Ph.D. will be hosting a REMI webinar presentation, “State-Level Industrial Impacts of COVID-19,” on Thursday, May 28th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET) that explores the heterogeneous effects of COVID-19.
It is important for policymakers to understand the structure of their states’ economies, as well as the areas of most need as they continue to plan for their economic re-openings.
During this presentation, Dr. Evangelakis will be describing the ways in which states’ different industrial structures have influenced the magnitude of the downturns they have experienced.
Potential strategies to mitigate the economic losses and bolster recovery efforts will also be included in this discussion on how COVID-19 has disrupted industries across the country.
Modeling the Economic and Demographic Impacts of Higher Education on the Regional Economy in REMI
Universities across the United States have major operational decisions to make as campuses closed down for the remainder of the 2020 spring semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could also impact enrollment for the next school year.
On Wednesday, May 27th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET), REMI Economist Jungjun Park, Ph.D. will be hosting a webinar, “Modeling the Economic and Demographic Impacts of Higher Education on the Regional Economy in REMI.” During this presentation, Dr. Park will discuss previous university impact studies using REMI, which explore the various impacts that higher education has on regional economies throughout the country.
Dr. Park will also be providing a technical discussion and demonstration on how to model the impacts of higher education in REMI. This includes accounting for elements such as direct institutional employment and spending, student and visitor spending, graduate earnings, and labor productivity.
This webinar on May 27th will explain the methodological approaches implemented in various university impact reports before reviewing the key findings from this collection of higher education assessments.
