#AcademicRunPlaylist - 3/16/

I went running while following my older son on his scooter (not shown), and even though he didn't slow down for his old man I was still able to listen to some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist while running at an unreasonable pace!

First was a fascinating talk by Francis Calvert Boorman on English arbitration and mediation in the 18th century at the School of Advanced Study, University of London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQhgn-OdqEk

Next was a fantastic talk by Marianne Bertrand on gender inequalities in the 21st century at the Toulouse School of Economics. This is a grand tour of the research in this area and different policy levers to encourage change. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rr0mC2suNUc

Next was a great talk by Subir Sinha on how empire and capitalist forces shaped what becomes commodities in India and beyond at the University of Michigan Center for South Asian Studies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muk6xDkQ8Ok

Next was a spicy symposium on understanding and replicating statistical findings at the Royal Statistical Society with talks by Leonhard Held (a new standard for replication studies) and Kenneth Rice (generalizable motivation of two-sided tests) and excellent discussion from Adele Marshall and Jane Hutton. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ur5EliJlrOg

Next was an interesting talk by Wolfgang König on the history of the Siemens brothers in Germany and England and the development of telegraphy at Heidelberg University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UkiWeHAeZBM

Last was an engaging panel on the merits of shareholder primacy at Columbia Business School with Jeffrey Gordon and Edward Rock. This conversation is from 2019, but is good to reflect on in today's context https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RaKrXBSqcw
