On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We present real-time survey evidence on the labour market impacts of the coronavirus crisis in the US, UK and Germany, the role of the furloughing scheme in the UK and the relationship between workers’ ability to do their job from home and job loss. We show that the impacts of the crisis have been highly unequal, both across and within countries. We highlight the importance of workers’ ability to carry out their tasks from home as a predictor of job loss. Finally, turning to the UK furloughing scheme, we document which workers were most likely to be furloughed and analyse variation in the terms on which they were furloughed.
