Description
On January 31, 2020, the UK officially withdrew from the European Union after almost 4 years of negotiations. By mid-March 2020, many countries shut down their economies to slow the spread of COVID. How did these twin shocks affect the EU, UK, and their evolving post-Brexit relationship? What economic policies did the EU, individual EU members, and the UK implement to deal with these effects, and how successful were they? These are some of the questions that we explore in this course.
