In anticipation of the FOMC meeting tomorrow, @ksangani8 and I have an interesting result to share!

Market volatility is 3x higher during Chair Powell’s conferences compared to his predecessors. This difference set in at the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic. #EconTwitter

@nettwerkerin @jhaushofer Or much simpler: I join the zoom session with my iPad (disconnect audio and only screenshare) and I also join with my laptop so that the audience can see me (with the camera and audio) and I can see the chat.

@nettwerkerin @jhaushofer Either I mirror it to my laptop and screenshare it from my laptop. That way I can use the presenter mode in GoodNotes such that the audience does not see the user interface.

Despite historic economic disruptions in all countries fiscal support in 2020 diverged dramatically. Advanced economies fiscal support was 24% of GDP, emerging and middle-income countries did 6% and low-income countries 2%. These gaps are leading to diverging recoveries.

[1/2] Happy 2021. The pandemic driven Great Lockdown (GL) led to a global recession in 2020, far worse than the Global Financial Crisis (GFC 2008-10). We enter 2021 with hope: Multiple vaccines succeeded, policies delivered, and rebounds in Q3 GDP were faster than expected...
