Covid-19 is reshaping European economic policy
April 23, 2021
Europe has struggled through two crises in the last decade, but this time its response has been much more decisive and ambitious. George Papaconstantinou tells Tim Phillips why Covid-19 may be the catalyst for deeper EU integration.

Globalisation and global crises
April 23, 2021
Concerns associated with the Covid-19 pandemic have led to new rationales of protectionism, with renewed emphasis on domestic production and sourcing. This column compares the current economic crisis brought on by the pandemic to previous major economic crises and examines what this could mean for the future of various aspects of globalisation.
COVID-19 fatalities show a Black female bias
April 23, 2021
It has been widely reported that among COVID-19 fatalities in the US, minorities are overrepresented while women are underrepresented. This column uses detailed individual-level data and georeferenced data on daily deaths in Cook County, Illinois, to reveal a Black female bias in fatalities. This bias is driven by Black women employed in high-exposure, frontline jobs in the healthcare and transportation sectors, that they reach by public transport from the historically poor neighbourhoods where they reside, having been disproportionately hit by the pandemic.

Unequal jury representation and its consequences
April 23, 2021
In the justice system, the jury is meant to be representative of the community. Yet, juries across the US are often highly unrepresentative, especially for racial minority populations. Using data from Harris County, Texas, this column examines how unequal representation impacts verdicts and sentences. Many zip codes with the highest proportion of white residents are overrepresented on juries. If the jury pool were more reflective of the county, the average sentence would fall by almost 15 years for Black defendants and the likelihood of a life sentence by more than 50%. Policy responses could include expanding the jury source list and oversampling ...
