Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How firms lobby for low-skilled immigration. Prof. Alan Manning
Q: How would you increase high-skilled immigration while controlling low-skilled immigration in Europe?
Use selective work permits with salary thresholds for high-skilled jobs, rely less on low-skilled temporary migration, ensure language and integration considerations are addressed, and keep family and asylum policies aligned to maintain a functioning, humane system.
How firms lobby for low-skilled immigration. Prof. Alan Manning
Q: What do you think about labor shortages and the idea that immigration is the cure or cause for them?
Shortages can arise from either a lack of suitable workers or unattractive pay and conditions; immigration can help in high-skilled or certain low-pay sectors, but it is not a universal fix and often interacts with broader labor-market and policy design.
How firms lobby for low-skilled immigration. Prof. Alan Manning
Q: So what is the best way to think about immigration's impact on economies beyond headline GDP growth?
Immigration changes population growth, the age mix, and the skill composition, which can affect productivity, employment, and fiscal outcomes in ways not captured by total GDP alone.
There is NO Venture Capital shortage in Europe | Jasper H. van Dijk
Q: What is the core misconception about venture capital in Europe?
The core claim is that Europe lacks funding, but the guest argues the problem is more about opportunity, market fragmentation, and policy environment rather than sheer liquidity, and that VC alone cannot explain European unicorn dynamics.
How are Gulf economies holding up? prof. Steffen Hertog
Q: What about expat and immigrant labor—how are they affected and what does that mean for the broader economy?
Expat workers experience the greatest vulnerability due to reduced construction activity and limited labor market protections; many return home or move to the informal sector, which weighs on overall economic activity but may not immediately shrink public spending in oil-rich states.
