While in many ways fundamentally different types of shocks, both the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change have in common that they are shocks fundamental enough to trigger substantial changes in behaviour and economic policies. The implied required fundamental structural changes to the way our economies work raise the issue of the role of “creative destruction”. What role will, or should, creative destruction play in overcoming these shocks? How to encourage and facilitate creative destruction, while cushioning its social costs? Which measures to take to even benefit from creative destruction and creative rebuilding necessitated by COVID-19 and climate transition? In this webinar, one of the most eminent scholars in the field, Prof Philippe Aghion, will address these questions, applying insights from his book “The Power of Creative Destruction: Economic Upheaval and the Wealth of Nations”<https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674971165>. Prof Thomas Philippon and Prof Şebnem Kalemli-Özcan will discuss these findings and provide their own perspectives on these issues. Natacha Valla will moderate the lecture, providing ample opportunities for all participants to actively interact.
