In this podcast [37 min], Insightview talks with Torben M. Andersen, Professor at the Department of Economics and Business Economics, Aarhus University, who led the economic expert group, which advised the Danish government on the phasing out of the Covid19 aid packages. [Language: Danish.]
The editor asks Torben what we have learned from the Covid19 crisis? What are the consequences of our "economic mitigation" strategy? Are we now on an ice floe heading for the Atlantic Ocean? Why did we not pursue a Covid19-strategy of "zero tolerance"? The editor also asks Torben if we are heading for higher inflation in the coming years. See the info-charts below, which are linked to the issues discussed in the podcast.
