Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 102: The economics of sanctioning a petrostate
Q: What are the basic trade-offs of using price caps to deter aggression?
A credible price cap can reduce the petrostate's temptation and expected profits, but if the cap is leaked or expected to be temporary, production may be pulled forward or supply shortfalls could spike prices, making deterrence a delicate balance.
Ep. 102: The economics of sanctioning a petrostate
Q: What is the best-case scenario for a well-enforced price cap against Russia?
A perfectly enforced cap can both reduce Russia's revenues and stabilize global oil prices by preventing exploitation of market power, potentially lowering world prices while constraining Russia's income.
Ep. 102: The economics of sanctioning a petrostate
Q: Why did you think it was time for a new theory of price caps on non-renewables?
The authors argue that standard intuition—cap the price and producers cut output—does not apply in petro-states with market power, uncertainty, and financial frictions; the framework better captures Russia's incentives and future price dynamics.
Ep. 100: Environmental market design
Q: But to set up our conversation, what are offsets, and what is the basic problem they're trying to solve?
Offsets are activities that can offset environmental destruction by allowing restoration or creation of environmental value, enabling markets to redirect demand from directly regulated activities to lower-cost conservation options, thereby potentially delivering environmental benefits at reduced costs.
Ep. 99: The wrong side of the tracks
Q: What is the main takeaway about the impact on Black versus White children?
Low-income Black children are the most affected, but higher-income Black children and low-income White children also experience negative effects, with the strongest impacts at the bottom of the income distribution.
