Share Article MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) December 16, 2020 Whether it’s online grocery orders or curbside pick-ups, COVID-19 has shifted the way we shop. But how is it effecting those in less populated rural areas?
In an AAEA session at the virtual 2021 ASSA Annual Meeting, AAEA members present on the digital divide, impacts on health of food and liquor purchases, and industrial composition.
Organizer of the session, Heather Stephens from West Virginia University says, “This session will explore different ways that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the US economy, and the differences between rural and urban regions. Paricipants will leave the session with a better understanding of the factors driving these impacts, and also the potential future of rural areas in a post-COVID world.”
