Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should private banks create most of our money? ft. Thomas Bollen
Q: Why advocate for reforms like CBDC or separated banking functions?
Because these reforms could reduce moral hazard, stabilize the system, and restore a more balanced mix of public and private money, while preserving payment functionality.
Should private banks create most of our money? ft. Thomas Bollen
Q: What is the core message of your book and why focus on money creation?
The core aim is to educate the public about how money is created, who creates it, and the societal effects, so readers understand the political economy and the need for reforms.
Why Europe is getting safer, despite migration | prof. Paolo Pinotti
Q: What about misperceptions and media influence on public views of immigrant crime?
Misperceptions are amplified by media algorithms and political dynamics; crimes committed by immigrants often receive disproportionately more attention, reinforcing stereotypes even when empirical effects on crime are small or null.
Why Europe is getting safer, despite migration | prof. Paolo Pinotti
Q: How can we causally assess the impact of immigration on crime?
The strongest approach is to compare similar areas within the same country that experience different exposure to migration over time, exploiting natural variations in migration shocks across cities or regions to identify causal effects, which in many studies shows minimal or no significant impact on crime rates.
Why Europe is getting safer, despite migration | prof. Paolo Pinotti
Q: What is the role of undocumented status in crime propensities and in prison populations?
Undocumented immigrants face legal and economic constraints that limit legal employment and create incentives for informal or illicit activity; evidence suggests that once legal status or access to formal work is granted, crime propensity drops substantially, indicating that formal inclusion reduces crime risk.
