活動說明：

This presentation examines research on the effect of COVID-19 on remote work and considers the long term implications on the future of work.

Evaluating the economic impact of social distancing measures taken to arrest the spread of COVID-19 raises a number of fundamental questions about the modern economy: How many jobs can be performed at home? What share of total wages are paid to such jobs? How does the scope for working from home vary across occupations, cities, industries, and countries? Dr. Jonathan Dingel (Associate Professor, Booth School of Business, University of Chicago) will present the results of research on the effect of COVID-19 on remote work and consider the long term implications for the future of work after the pandemic.

Looking broadly across countries highlights that high quality telecom networks are a necessary condition for effective economic and public responses to COVID-19. In particular, strong networks have underpinned the success and broad acceptance of lockdown measures by enabling substantial continuation of work, education, and commerce, notwithstanding social distancing. Joe Rowsell (Regulatory Affairs Director, TELUS Communications) will review international evidence on the performance of telecom networks during the pandemic, including on speed, reliability, and coverage.

The School of Business, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville is the Academic Host for the webinar and TELUS Communications is the Corporate Host for the webinar.
