  • Lacks better insights and data

    High level, basic talk on topics. Often bring speakers that have little data to support claims. Far from SMEs.

  • Thank you

    This show has been very informative and interesting. I love the style with which the host welcomes listeners to delve deeper into various economic subjects with correspondents and experts. (Also, in my opinion, the recent episode relating to European defense spending was just the right length.)

  • Long form vs Short form

    In answer to the question … longer versions of Econ World or not: Please provide both (as required). The deep dives are well worth the time spent and the shorter versions work too. This is not an “or” decision, it is an “and” opportunity. Thanks for all this deep and valuable information. It is difficult to find information that one can trust … Reuters is a place where I “feel safe”.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The World Cup economy
Q: Why is there skepticism about economic benefits for host cities?
Economists generally agree there is limited or no significant net economic return from hosting the World Cup; costs such as stadiums and infrastructure often do not translate into long-term economic gains, while consumer spending shifts from other activities to attend the event.
The World Cup economy
Q: What is the single biggest economic shift the World Cup underwent?
Television broadcasting transformed the World Cup from a regional event into a global spectacle, enabling mass viewership, sponsorship, and global revenue streams that accelerated its financial growth.
Brexit: Is that it? – Live from London
Q: So where does this all leave us? Would Britain rejoin the EU in the next 25 years?
Both discussants acknowledge the possibility in theory but stress political and economic hurdles, public appetite, and the costs of rejoining.
Brexit: Is that it? – Live from London
Q: I mean, on that kind of international backdrop, that's also important too, isn't it, Rachel?
Rachel notes the shifting dynamics with Europe and the security backdrop, suggesting closer dialogue with European partners while acknowledging domestic political instability.
Inside Europe’s shortest workweek
Q: First, are workers more productive when they work fewer hours? Is that reflected in the numbers?
Productivity per hour is high in the Netherlands, but it's not clear that fewer hours automatically mean higher productivity; GDP per hour worked remains strong, and many households maintain high living standards through high productivity.
