Is the Price Right? Two Nobel Laureates Debate How Markets Work Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Are prices in financial markets fair and accurate? Or do they reflect human biases? These questions, and variations on them, represent one of the most divisive topics in finance: just how efficient markets really are. To explore this subject at the highest level, on this episode of the Chicago Booth Review Podcast we revisit a conversation from 2016 with two of Booth's Nobel laureates in economics: Eugene F. Fama and Richard H. Thaler.

Does the Gender Gap Begin at Home? Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

The gender pay gap in the United States—wherein women earn about 82 percent of what men do—has been both well-documented and stubbornly durable. Although there's no single explanation for the gap, economics research is demonstrating that some of its roots lie well outside the workplace, in family dynamics, choices about educational investment, and similar areas. How is the gender gap defined by these forces? And what can we do to narrow it?

On this episode of the Chicago Booth Review Podcast, we explore these questions with three articles investigating the economics of gender and professional outcomes.

What Can the 1930s Tell Us about the Coming Climate Migration? Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

Climate change appears set to kick off a massive human upheaval as changing sea levels, weather patterns, and other forces alter the places we live. How will policy makers respond to this population movement? Who will be moving, how will they be received in their new homes, and what impact will they have there? For clues, we can look to an earlier period of migration: that of the 1930s Dust Bowl era in the United States.

On this episode of the Chicago Booth Review Podcast, we turn to the research of Booth's Richard Hornbeck to understand how Dust Bowl migrants differed from other migrants of the time, and what that could tell us about migration induced by climate change in the 21st century.
