Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9 Ep53: Lessons from Populism in Latin America
Q: From your analysis, would you say that there are rational aspects of their policy choices?
The discussion notes that while there are incentives and political economy reasons behind populist policy choices, the core paper emphasizes correlation rather than firm causation, acknowledging uncertainty and the role of uncertainty and information gaps in policy design.
S9 Ep51: Fiscal Populism and Monetary Policy
Q: What is fiscal dominance and how does it happen?
Fiscal dominance occurs when central banks finance government deficits by purchasing government bonds, effectively printing money to fund fiscal deficits, which can lead to inflationary pressure and distort monetary policy.
S9 Ep49: Combatting sexual harassment in the military
Q: Did attitudes or actual harassment change as a result of the intervention?
Attitudes toward women's competence and tolerance of crude jokes shifted significantly, though measured harassment prevalence showed negative point estimates with imprecise results due to measurement issues.
S9 Ep49: Combatting sexual harassment in the military
Q: What were the two information treatments designed to change behavior?
One treatment emphasized women's actual job performance to counteract negative beliefs about women's capabilities, and the other corrected misperceptions about peers' tolerance of crude jokes to reduce social acceptability of harassment.
S9 Ep49: Combatting sexual harassment in the military
Q: What kind of soldiers were studied and where did the experiment take place?
Young conscripts in Norway undergoing boot camp were studied, with randomization at the enrolment phase to deliver two information treatments aimed at reducing harassment.
