Peter Horst and Anne Rivers

May 13, 2020

PSB’s Peter Horst and Anne Rivers leverage data gained from PSB Insights’ daily and weekly polling to explore the short- and long-term impacts of coronavirus on the American consumer:

  • How consumers are thinking about their health, wallets, and economy today. How might that change in the weeks and months ahead?
  • Which industries may benefit from consumer “nostalgia” for easier times?
  • How might entertainment, work, and privacy change in the next chapter of American life?

Their findings offer insight and guidance as companies chart a course for the way back to a re-opened economy.
