I'm working on a project right now on how remote work is affect productivity using real time measures of output from tech workers. Early stuff. Won't have a draft for a couple of weeks even if we just focus on the period right when Seattle is hit.

Jim,



In a previous message, you asked me whether anyone in the HE program have particular interest or expertise on pandemics. I'm pretty sure that Tomas Philipson does. He is a research associate in HC and HE but is on leave of absence as Chair of the Council of Economic Advisors. I am asking Tomas, HE program members, and Anup Malani, a research associate in DEV, to contact you if they have expertise or suggestions about people who you might want to contact.



Best regards,

Mike
