    S8 Ep50: The hidden cost of invasive species
    Oct 3 2025
    In the first of two podcasts recorded at the conference “Addressing the Risks and Responses to Climate Overshoot”, organised by the AXA Research Fund, CEPR, and Paris School of Economics, Tim Phillips talks to Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris-Saclay about an aspect of climate change that is rarely talked about, increasingly important, and very costly.

    When plants or animals move, or are moved, to a place they don't belong, there is a risk of damage to natural habitats and an economic cost too. So how do we estimate the size of this risk, and what can we do about it?

    S8 Ep49: Tastes, geography, and culture
    Sep 26 2025
    It’s cultural meme that teenagers in New York and Seoul will have more in common with each other than with their parents. Has where we come from been downgraded as an influence on what we like, or is there still what Thierry Mayer of Sciences Po and CEPR calls “gravity in tastes”?

    His research focuses on a very important aspect of this question: regional French food. Is there still a France of butter, and a France of olive oil? And, if there is, can we draw it on a map, or is this now a cultural and social divide, rather than a regional one?

  • S8 Ep48: What makes a successful entrepreneur?

    S8 Ep48: What makes a successful entrepreneur?
    Sep 19 2025
    We are up to our necks in advice about how to innovate in business, how to succeed as a founder, or how to spot a great startup. Blogs, YouTube channels and airport bookshops claim to reveal the secret. And yet, investors and incubators have a very patchy track record in picking winners.

    What if there was a better way to spot entrepreneurs who are more likely to succeed? Konrad Stahl of University of Mannheim is one of a team of researchers who have found one indicator of success that dominates all the others. He tells Tim Phillips what it is, and why it matters.
