This year’s materials for the G20 Summit include a SCEPA research paper co-written by Willi Semmler, the Director of SCEPA’s Economics of Climate Change project. The paper investigates how to recover the European Union (EU)’s sense of common aims after the Covid-19 crisis to address challenges such as long-term scarring of the labor market, Climate Change, European social and health care system and sustainability of sovereign debt. 

Working Paper—A group of professors, graduate students, and fellows at The New School for Social Research's Department of Economics assess economic research and teaching in the United States and identify three major barriers to the successful adoption of alternative economic theories in academia and the public discourse.

What climate policies must be part of the global Covid-19 recovery plans to ensure better pathways to a low carbon economy?

Working Paper—The popular EITC program is credited with encouraging employment and reducing poverty. But a SCEPA working paper suggests it may also reduce wages for low-education workers, including older workers who do not receive EITC benefits at the same rate as younger workers.
