#AcademicRunPlaylist - 5/23/24

It was a bit of a whirlwind day, but I was still able to get out for a bit and listen to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was an informative conversation with Sarosh Kuruvilla on the problems with private regulations for laborers in Asia's clothing factories at the Cornell University ILR School https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmftgiY5ETs

Next was a wide-ranging talk by Christena Nippert-Eng on social camouflage from nature to digital settings at CRASSH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7aYj2scwSk

Next was an interesting talk by Kevin Hoover on the advent of macroeconomics at the Royal Economic Society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=139dk89WzyE

Next was an engaging session on industrial policy for innovation at the Harvard Center for International Development with Chiara Criscuolo, Munseob Lee, Barry Naughton, and Ernesto Stein. The examination of Korea's industrial policy was particularly fascinating, especially Hitachi's critical role in making Samsung the behemoth it is today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtvKfONe0bs

Next was an intriguing talk by Teresa Freitas Monteiro on immigrant return intentions and job search behavior when their home country is unsafe at the Economics of Migration seminar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFYGDnaIWNc

Next was a thought-provoking session on industrial policy for SMEs at the Harvard CID with Jie Bai, Michela Giorcelli, and Andrés Zahler. This is an often overlooked area of industrial policy, but as it's arguably the most important it was refreshing to hear it examined in detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLaQTC7k4tw

Last was a short talk by Zoe Kahn on perspectives on data privacy in rural Togo at the UC Berkeley School of Information https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6e1HIWZARg
