New research has presented evidence that the gender gap in labour force participation in US has expanded during COVID-19 (Alon et al. 2020). This negative development is attributed to two factors – the disproportionate impact that the pandemic has had on sectors that tend to employ more women, and the increase in family caregiving responsibilities due to kindergarten and school closures that lay on working mothers’ shoulders. Both reasons keep women away from the labour force (Landivar et al. 2020).
The US is hardly the average labour market, however, both due to its size and its flexible employment regulation. We hence expand the analysis to several other advanced economies that have readily available data, by looking for trends in the labour force participation by women. We find that women’s labour force participation has declined during COVID-19 in Canada, Japan, South Korea, and the US, while it has been resilient to the

After decades of globalisation, the structure of production is increasingly international, with supply chains crossing country borders. An important feature of this internationalisation of production is that the bulk of international trade linkages in a typical economy are held by only a few large firms (Freund and Pierola 2015). As a result, while only a minority of firms have direct trade linkages with foreign countries, those firms tend to account for a large share of aggregate economic activity (di Giovanni et al. 2017, 2018). How resilient is such an economy then to foreign business cycle shocks?
Our recent paper (di Giovanni et al. 2020) quantifies the consequences of a foreign shock to such an economy to study international shock transmission. Our point of departure is that even purely aggregate foreign shocks affect firms differentially depending on the extent and nature of their international linkages. In that sense, an aggregate shoc

On the morning of Dec. 2, 2020, the world lost an icon with the passing of Dr. Walter E. Williams at age 84. Dr. Williams, born in Philadelphia in 1936, was fond of mentioning in speeches that his younger cousin growing up was none other than Julius “Dr. J” Erving, the legendary hall of fame basketball player. Though Williams reveled in the boast that he schooled Erving on the court, he always smiled and mentioned he was more than a decade older than the young superstar to-be.
Walter became a versatile writer, thinker, and speaker, in the fields of economics, education, and race relations. Williams often guest-hosted the Rush Limbaugh show and served as a guest on radio and television shows across the country.
