Why is it that banks do not lend to real businesses? What caused the 2008 financial crisis? Why do modern macro-economic models so often fail?

Sheri has been a Professor at the Essex University Economics Department since 2006 and has a PhD in Economics from the London School of Economics.

Although initially simply representing a measure of “happiness” as part of the theory of Utilitarianism, the term ‘utility’ has been adapted and reapplied within neoclassical economics as a function that represents a consumer's preference ordering over a set of choices. Being a key turning point in the way we examine economics, Max and Dr Freer sit down to discuss the role utility plays in economic theory and how the concept has adapted and changed over time.

Dr Mikhail Freer is a Lecturer in the Department of Economics at the University of Essex and has published numerous research papers regarding utility, particularly relating to ‘revealed preferences'.

With Brexit still on the minds of the British public, migration has become a hot-button topic when it comes to Britain and it's economy. Max and Bastien sit down to discuss how migration affects the economy, and what the future good look like in an ever globalizing world. Youtube: @maxwelldorey

In real terms, house prices in the UK have risen considerably over the past several decades, particularly when compared to average incomes. This not only affects the ability of first-time buyers to get on the property ladder, but impacts consumer spending and other aspects of the economy. In this episode of the Marginal Babble Podcast, I sit down with Professor David Miles CBE to discuss real house price inflation and the role interest rates are playing in this regard. David is a professor of financial economics at Imperial university, has held the position of Chief UK Economist at both Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley investment banks and was a member of the Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England from 2009 to 2015.

With the landmark American overturning of ‘Roe vs Wade’ on 24th June 2022, greater focus than ever is being placed on the impacts and arguments surrounding abortion policy. This is further evidenced by how over 60 countries have changed their national abortion policies in the last 30 years alone. In the midst of this controversy, Max and Professor Clarke sit down to discuss his research into the effects of more liberal abortion policies being initiated in Mexico, as well as other evidence to the effects of abortion policy on economic development indicators. Professor Clarke is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Exeter and University of Chille, is a Research Fellow at IZA, and an affiliate with the Millennium Institute for Research in Market Imperfections and Public Policy.
