@andresmh@susannahpaletz@hcil_umd@jbigham@merrie@juhokim@msbernst Not a good social media discussion, but IMO it's extremely problematic to refer to a person using an AI tool as a "team." A person using Google isn't a team, nor could a pencil be considered a teammate in a larger group. They're tools
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 (2/8) #ESG
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 (5/8) #economics
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 (7/8) #economics
It's fitting that on a day when I was on campus I spotted a wild beaver, and while I was enjoying the wildlife I also enjoyed listening to some talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/10)
Next was a thought-provoking talk by Suzanne Dikker on the neural basis of real-world social interaction, using sensors to study brain signals outside the laboratory at the University of London School of Advanced Study https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO4w_GansP4 (3/10) #neuroscience#psychology
Next was a wide-ranging talk by Marianne Bertrand on the roots of gender disparities at work at the LSE. Bertrand systematically reviews the literature in this area, consistently pointing to the role of childcare and gender norms around unpaid labor as the source of most of the remaining gap here. FYI Bertrand gave a talk at the Toulouse School of Economics on a similar topic a few years later that is also great. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWpBM0ASLRQ (4/10) #economics#gender
