Is the US ready for the next recession?
<p>The final episode of the Recession Remedies podcast sums up lessons learned from the COVID-19 downturn and looks ahead.

The three are senior fellows at Brookings and co-editors of the book “Recession Remedies: Lessons Learned from the U.S. Economic Policy Response to COVID-19.”</p> <p>Show notes and transcript: <a href= "https://brook.gs/3RA3zvL" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://brook.gs/3RA3zvL</a> </p> <p>Recession Remedies podcast is part of the <a href= "https://www.brookings.edu/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Brookings Podcast Network</a>.

How did COVID-19 demonstrate the value of nontraditional data?
<p>Data collection has exploded over the last decade. These new sources of nontraditional data—for example, credit card transactions and restaurant reservations—can help to fill gaps in traditional datasets by offering policymakers more timely or granular information. How were nontraditional data used during COVID-19? What are the benefits and potential pitfalls of using it in future crises? On this episode, hear from Laura J. Feiveson, chief of the Household and Business Spending Section in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s Division of Research and Statistics. Dr. Feiveson’s audio comes from an interview recorded in April 2022.</p> <p>Show notes and transcript: <a href= "https://brook.gs/3RrH3oG" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://brook.gs/3RrH3oG</a> </p> <p>Recession Remedies podcast is part of the <a href= "https://www.brookings.edu/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Brookings Podcast Network</a>.

Could the fiscal and monetary policy response to the pandemic be repeated?
<p>To protect against the economic effects of the pandemic, the federal government borrowed more than $5 trillion—about 20% of one year’s output—in 2020 and 2021. Now, in 2022, the Federal Reserve is attempting to tamp down inflation. What lessons should we take from this policy experiment? Could a similar response be repeated in future crises? Recession Remedies podcast Host David Wessel explores the coordination between fiscal and monetary policy with Robin Brooks, managing director and chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, and Jonathan Pingle, managing director and chief U.S. economist at UBS.</p> <p>Show notes and transcript: <a href= "https://brook.gs/3OOQUTy" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">https://brook.gs/3OOQUTy</a> </p> <p>Recession Remedies podcast is part of the <a href= "https://www.brookings.edu/podcasts/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Brookings Podcast Network</a>.
