Modeling the Pandemic
Matt and Naval discuss the limitations of top-down modeling in understanding bottom-up phenomena like the pandemic. They question how the right amounts of food are available in the right places at the right time for millions of people in London, highlighting the complexity of such systems. They also critique the current situation where economists are building epidemic models and epidemiologists are running the economy, suggesting that a reevaluation of priorities is needed.In this clip
