CGD NOTES
February 28, 2023
The policy discussions about PPR are noteworthy. But the global public sector is underinvesting in pandemic response. This creates the illusion of safety without the finance or planning in place to provide it. We cannot delay planning for response financing when the next pandemic hits, by which time...

Roughly seven years ago, the UK voted to leave the European Union (I simultaneously cannot believe it was that long ago and cannot believe it was so recent, which is somehow apt).

You’ll have to forgive me if the introduction to the links seems a bit distracted: England are in the final stages of an absolute thriller against South Africa in a one-day international, with Jofra Archer easing back into international cricket by being absolutely carted for 81 runs in his ten overs...

We (as in my family, not CGD) are in the process of moving into a new home, which involves a great deal of choice: choosing paint colours, tiles, locations for various bits of furniture. It’s normal in economics to consider more choice to be a good thing, but this assumes that we’re able to optimise...
