It’s a widely held belief in our society, even among groups that disagree with each other on other issues, that meritocracy is a public good. Broadly, meritocracy speaks to our innate sense of fairness—people should get what they deserve. But what ex... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why agricultural R&D is helping less where it's needed most
Q: What lessons does Brazil's Embrapa provide for other countries seeking to build effective agricultural R&D ecosystems?
Embrapa shows the value of distributed, regionally informed research infrastructure, long-term government backing, and a deliberate focus on matching technologies to local ecologies, which can eventually attract private investment and sustain innovation across diverse regions.
Why agricultural R&D is helping less where it's needed most
Q: Can you give us a concise definition of the technology mismatch hypothesis and why it's central to understanding agri-tech diffusion?
The hypothesis states that technologies are embedded with specific ecological conditions, incentives, and inputs; when those conditions differ from where the technology is deployed, diffusion and adoption fall short, creating large productivity gaps across regions.
Manufacturing won't save us—but the service sector might
Q: But insofar as you can, can you tell me what your vision of a good job is?
A good job should combine fair wages with a sense of agency, autonomy, career progression, job security, and a respectful working environment, and these qualities should be reflected in how we measure and promote work, not just in salaries.
Lessons from the Great Compression
Q: How did you fill data gaps in the 1950s to analyze inequality and labor markets?
We used digitization and diverse archives (National Archives, IRS data, CPS, census data) and cross-validated with survey data and alternative measures to build a plausible picture of inequality and employment in periods with sparse data.
Lessons from the Great Compression
Q: What inspired you to study the era and the effects of non-R&D defense procurement?
We wanted to understand whether the postwar period's low inequality and strong growth were driven by a broad set of policies or by specific channels like military procurement, and whether non-R&D spending had unique impacts on workers who were traditionally left out of rising gains.
