update March 2021: a lot of things have changed in the last year, but it's still true that economics is everywhere, and we can't wait to discuss this more with you in person!

This is my contribution to a video message from UK faculty to students in April 2020 - it especially applies to students taking 402!

Minier message to UK students

Here's the text: Hi, this is Jenny Minier in Economics. I hope that you're safe, and healthy, and we really miss seeing you in person. I also hope that you're paying attention to economics right now. From the massive spike in unemployment claims, to the economic stimulus policy responses, the difficulties associated with procuring medical equipment, and weighing the costs and benefits of closing things down and deciding when and how to reopen. Economics is everywhere, and we can't wait to discuss this more with you in person as it all unfolds. In the meantime, stay healthy, stay informed, and take care everyone!
