The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted consumer spending patterns in countless ways and continues to evolve as we move into the "new normal". Using Earnest's credit card data, Dan McCarthy (Emory University Goizueta School of Business) and Shin Oblander (Columbia Business School) researched the short- and long-term impacts of COVID across 12 categories. Join us in a webinar hosted by Earnest, where we'll discuss their findings which include:

  • The move away from brick-and-mortar businesses and towards at-home alternatives such as delivery and e-commerce services
  • Enduring vs more transitory trends post-peak pandemic
