Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S7 Ep11: Transport policy for economic development
Q: Should solving traffic congestion be the main target to improve mobility in low- and middle-income countries?
The answer depends on the city; in many cases, speeds are slow even without heavy congestion, so policies should focus on improving speeds where possible and consider broader mobility goals rather than congestion alone.
S7 Ep9: How skilled migration from Asia reshaped the US economy
Q: Why is there a need for foreign-trained physicians in the US?
The domestic supply of doctors is limited due to institutional constraints in the US medical education system, leading to a significant reliance on foreign-trained doctors, especially in underserved areas.
S7 Ep9: How skilled migration from Asia reshaped the US economy
Q: What would be the consequences for the US economy if high-skilled migrants went elsewhere?
High-skilled migrants play a critical role in filling job vacancies and driving innovation, so their absence could lead to slower economic growth and a lack of necessary skills in key industries.
S7 Ep8: Integrating refugees: What policies work best?
Q: How difficult is it to design the optimal policy bundle in any situation?
It is challenging due to the need for context-specific solutions and budget constraints for policymakers.
S7 Ep8: Integrating refugees: What policies work best?
Q: Is it a good policy to go around retraining, helping them to find jobs as well with the skills that they have?
Yes, investing in refugees is beneficial due to market failures they experience in the job market.
