5/4/20 Podcast – Glenn Hubbard & Tony O’Brien Discuss Why It Was So Difficult To Predict the Pandemic and the Economic Downturn

Glenn Hubbard and Tony O’Brien continue their podcast series by spending just under 15 minutes discussing why it was so difficult for economists to see this pandemic and the associated economic downturn coming. Just as scientists lacked the indicators to see the pandemic coming, economists also didn’t have the tools available to see where the economy was headed even though some early signs were present.
