S7 Ep41: The EU miracle

Season 7 · Episode 41

vendredi 30 août 2024 • Duration 23:44

In 2004 75 million people in 10 countries joined the EU. Their GDP per capita has grown dramatically in the last 20 years – but how much of that is due to EU membership, and how much would have happened anyway? Basile Grassi tells Tim Phillips that the enlargement of the EU in 2004 was “a miracle” for the economies of these countries, even though nationalist politicians may argue otherwise.

S7 Ep40: The economic burden of burnout

Season 7 · Episode 40

vendredi 23 août 2024 • Duration 22:12

Today doctors recognise the symptoms of burnout from work-related stress. It’s a common problem, but one that can have serious, long-term consequences for sufferers. New research shows that there are measurable consequences for partners and children too, and lasting effects on fertility. Arash Nekoei and Josef Sigurdsson talk to Tim Phillips about the scale of the burnout burden, and what can we do to identify the problem before it happens.

Season 7 · Episode 31

vendredi 28 juin 2024 • Duration 23:56

The first in a series of VoxTalks Economics based on some of the most interesting presentations from the PSE-CEPR Policy Forum 2024.
Imagine that one day, you are offered the chance to move to a new, better, bigger house in the same city as you live, with the government paying for 90% of your mortgage. This is what happens in Brazil, where millions of people have been given access to better housing. But how big is this prize really? Gabriel Ulyssea tells Tim Phillips how many of the beneficiaries discovered that location matters most in real estate.

Season 5 · Episode 52

Season 5 · Episode 51

vendredi 18 novembre 2022 • Duration 28:14

What is the net benefit of phasing out coal and replacing it with renewables? $85 trillion, according to a new calculation. Alissa Kleinnijenhuis and Patrick Bolton tell Tim Phillips how they estimated this extraordinary number, how the benefit can be realised – and whether the negotiations at COP27 will get us there.

S5 Ep50: How does trade policy affect competition?

Season 5 · Episode 50

vendredi 11 novembre 2022 • Duration 21:10

S5 Ep49: How did inflation get so high?

Season 5 · Episode 49

vendredi 4 novembre 2022 • Duration 19:16

Ricardo Reis tells Tim Phillips why many advanced economies ended up with inflation levels that we haven’t seen for a generation. Did policymakers make mistakes, or do we need to change the entire policy framework?

S5 Ep48: Climate and debt

Season 5 · Episode 48

vendredi 28 octobre 2022 • Duration 23:18

Mitigating and adapting to climate change is economically rational. But it is also expensive, it’s not clear how the cost should be financed, or which countries or actors assume the burden. The 25th Geneva Report from CEPR investigates these questions. Beatrice Weder di Mauro and Ugo Panizza tell Tim Phillips about the report’s conclusions.

S5 Ep47: Slowing the spread of the next epidemic

Season 5 · Episode 47

vendredi 21 octobre 2022 • Duration 19:36

S5 Ep46: How does climate change affect asset prices?

Season 5 · Episode 46

vendredi 14 octobre 2022 • Duration 22:27

Heat stress from climate change affects the economy, so does it change the cost of issuing debt or the return on equities? Viral Acharya has investigated how this climate risk is priced, and he tells Tim Phillips how it raises the cost of borrowing most for the places and firms that can least afford it.
