#AcademicRunPlaylist - 5/5/24

The male turkey on our street has been busy, and while taking in the local wildlife I was able to listen to some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a slate of talks at the New York University School of Law by Marco Claudio Corradi and Julian Nowag (enforcing corporate opportunities rules), Jorge Contreras (patent hold-up), Rory Van Loo (consumer law and inequality), and John Newman (procompetitive justifications in antitrust law) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n0lgfEIdxk

Next was a thought-provoking panel on the Microsoft-Ireland case (in 2018) at the American Constitution Society with Debra Perlin, Alex Berengaut, Jennifer Daskal, Sharon Bradford Franklin, and Gregory Nojeim. While much of this was settled with the CLOUD Act passage afterwards, the points brought up here are still instructive when considering approaches to regulating data access and localization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7VRyWp-hJQ

Next was an interesting talk by Patrick Kenis on the governance of organizational networks at the Heidelberg University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ESrUYjJKqs

Next was a great talk by Esteban Moro on strong ties in social networks at the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems - NICO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1E8_4imh5gU

Next was an excellent talk by Robert Hingley on the UK takeover code and its wider regulatory and political context at the Cambridge Faculty of Law. Hingley provides a thoughtful overview of different cases that have come before the takeover panel and the various pressures and considerations that have come to bear over their decisions in recent decades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqFAdhJvRw

Next was an informative talk by Banu Ozkazanc-Pan on gender disparities of VC funding decisions in Boston and St. Louis at Brown University https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9O7IrGNvEJk

Last was a nice talk by Christopher Chabris on collective intelligence as a characteristic of small groups at the Network Science Institute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzjuRpfDWfY
