When the City Stopped: Stories from New York’s Essential Workers
2025-04-02 18:30 - 19:45 (America/New_York) | Elebash Recital Hall, The Graduate Center, 365 5th Avenue, New York, NY, 10016, United States
When the City Stopped: Stories from New York’s Essential Workers

When the City Stopped tells story of the COVID-19 lockdown in the words of ordinary New Yorkers, illuminating the fear and uncertainty of life in the early days of the pandemic, as well as the solidarity that sustained the city. Through oral histories compiled by Manhattan Borough Historian Robert Snyder, we see that while many worked from home, others knowingly exposed themselves to danger as they drove buses, ran subways, answered 911 calls, tended to the sick, and made and delivered meals. As we mark the fifth anniversary of the crisis, Snyder speaks about this deeply moving new book with S. Mitra Kalita, a journalist, media executive, and author, who co-founded Epicenter-NYC, a newsletter to help New Yorkers get through the pandemic.
Presented with the Gotham Center for NYC History and Epicenter-NYC.

Geoeconomic Fragmentation and the World Economy
2025-04-01 12:30 - 14:00 (America/New_York) | Riverside Room, 121 Bay State Road, Boston, MA, 02215, United States
Join us for a talk with Shekhar Aiyar on geoeconomic fragmentation, its global economic impact, and the role of “connector” countries.

This talk will offer an introduction to the newly emerging topic of geoeconomic fragmentation (GEF), with an emphasis on some of the work undertaken at the International Monetary Fund. The talk will describe the channels through which GEF is expected to impact the global economy. It will present estimates from recent studies on potential global and regional output losses. It will discuss the measurement of geopolitical distance between country pairs and show how this affects international transactions, with a special focus on foreign direct investment. Finally, it will discuss the idea of “connector” countries (vertical and horizontal) that might stand to benefit from a splintering of the global economy into rival blocs.
Shekhar Aiyar is Assistant Director in the IMF’s Research Department. Previously he served as the Fund’s Mission Chief for Germany and Head of the Eurozone Division. He is a Visiting Professor at the National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), a former Visiting Scholar at Johns Hopkins University and a former Non-Resident Fellow at Brueghel. His research interests encompass open economy macroeconomics, international finance, growth empirics and test cricket. His recent work has focused on the likelihood and possible consequences of geo-economic fragmentation. He has published in the Journal of Financial Economics, American Economic Review, European Economic Review, IMF Economic Review, Journal of Economic Growth, Journal of Money, Credit and Banking and Economic Policy. He holds an MA in Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University, and a Ph.D. in Economics from Brown University.
