Is the emperor wearing clothes?  Hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen are joined by economist and political scientist Timur Kuran who wrote the book, Private Truths, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification. This 30-year-old book explains the social phenomenon where people express preferences they do not have.   As political and social tensions have risen in the U.S., the freedom to express views that go against the status quo has become more difficult.  Jonathan, Jules, and Timur discuss what preference falsification is and why people engage in it, historical and contemporary examples, the implications of this behavior in various domains, including politics, business, and academia, and insights into how societies can counteract it. The conversation also addresses the importance of fostering environments, particularly in universities, where open and honest discourse is encouraged.  Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

If universities believe they should be free from government interference and that students and faculty have the right to freely express whatever viewpoints they hold, then the universities should be held to the same standard, right? Hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen are joined by Richard Saller, an American classist and former interim president of Stanford University, to discuss whether or not the government has the right to intervene in university affairs and the hypocrisy that sometimes surrounds these issues. The conversation covers the recent statement signed by 562 university presidents advocating for academic freedom, examples of academic censorship, and the impact of federal funding on universities. They also raise questions about what true academic freedom means as universities have grown increasingly homogenous, and propose solutions to how universities can live up to their mission of being a place where all viewpoints can be expressed.  Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

What exactly is a trade deficit? And why are so many policymakers fixated on it? Lately, the trade deficit in the U.S. is taking the bulk of the blame for the economic situation we're in and it's one of the reasons the Trump administration is pushing for sweeping tariffs. But tariffs are likely not the answer, and a trade deficit might be better referred to as a capital surplus.  As a continuation of the tariffs discussion in the last episode, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen are joined by John Cochrane, an economist at Stanford University and the Hoover Institution.   The conversation covers how trade deficits actually work, their implications on global and domestic economies, and how current trade policies may impact economic growth, inflation, and international relations.  Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

With President Trump's tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China, and other countries now in full swing, what consequences from an economic standpoint could the U.S. be facing? And what was the path that led us here? Hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen put the tariffs question to economist and author Dani Rodrik. Rodrik is  the Ford Foundation Professor of International Political Economy at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and the author of the book Straight Talk on Trade: Ideas for a Sane World Economy. Beginning with the historical context and purpose of tariffs, the conversation covers how the political and social dissatisfaction with hyperglobalization opened the door for these extreme tariffs, whether or not they're an effective tool in modern trade policy, and what alternative strategies exist to rebuild America's middle class.  Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

The recent crackdown on federal spending has universities sweating despite the fact that many of them boast huge billion-dollar endowments. So what gives? Why would less money from the federal government be a cause for concern? Where does all that money go? And could there be more to this budget picture than meets the eye? In this episode, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen delve into the inner workings of university endowments and how these institutions are balancing their budgets in a way that's leaving themselves vulnerable to dire financial situations. Read John Cambell, Jeremy Stein, and Alex Wu's paper, “Economic Budgeting for Endowment-Dependent Universities” here. Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

One key to effective negotiation is to keep your opponent guessing by randomizing your strategy. And right now, there might not be a more prolific example of this kind of strategy than President Donald Trump's communication style.  In this episode, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen are joined by Peter Robinson, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan.  Together, they examine Trump's communication style by comparing and contrasting it with Reagan's. They also discuss the effectiveness of an unpredictable communication strategy, whether Trump's off-the-cuff remarks are calculated or mere chaos, and Peter shares behind-the-scenes details of the Reagan administration including how Peter came to write the famous line, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”    Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

Kelly-Qian van Binsbergen is documentairemaker en bekend van de series Sexotisch en De Afhaalchinees. De documentaires van Kelly-Qian staan bekend om hun persoonlijke insteek, die zij verwerkt met bredere maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Hoe beïnvloedt het maken van deze series haar persoonlijke leven? Waar liggen haar grootste twijfels tijdens het maakproces? En wanneer is volgens haar een programma geslaagd? Programmamaker Larissa Biemond gaat met haar in gesprek.In de documentairereeks Sexotisch onderzocht Kelly-Qian van Binsbergen het fenomeen seksueel racisme en de diepgaande impact hiervan. Hoe beïnvloeden dominante stereotyperingen over ras en etniciteit nog altijd ons dagelijkse date- en seksleven? Welke rol speelde onze koloniale geschiedenis hierin, en hoe houden wij stereotyperingen over mensen van kleur onbewust nog steeds in stand? Kortom, waar eindigt een fetisj en begint seksueel racisme?Kelly-Qian van Binsbergen is programmamaker en journalist bij Omroep ZWART. In 2023 debuteerde zij met de documentaireserie De Afhaalchinees, waarin zij de tekortkomingen van het interlandelijke adoptiesysteem aan de kaak stelde en de vaak traumatische gevolgen ervan voor mensen met een adoptieachtergrond blootlegde.

Is it acceptable for doctors to lie to their patients, or withhold some of the truth, if it's in the patient's best interest? In this episode, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen welcome back John Ioannidis, professor of medicine at Stanford University, to discuss the ethical implications of concealing the truth in the medical world, even when it's for the greater good. The conversation touches on the importance of building and maintaining trust in healthcare, cases where that trust has been tested or fractured, the paternalism mindset in medicine, the potential biases in medical research funding, and why building back trust in healthcare is a steep climb.  Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

Kelly-Qian is haar eerste naam, maar niet de eerste naam die ze kreeg. Ze kreeg eerst een naam van haar ouders in China, vervolgens een naam van haar verzorgers daar in het weeshuis en daarna een naam van haar adoptieouders in Nederland. Later, na het maken van haar slimme, hartverscheurende en grappige documentaireserie De Afhaalchinees, gaf ze zichzelf een naam. Kelly-Qian, een naam die haar Chinese identiteit niet langer op de tweede plek zet, maar haar identiteit als Chinees-Nederlandse vrouw met een adoptieachtergrond weerspiegelt. De series die ze maakt zijn scherp en uniek en geannoteerd met prachtige animaties. Zo kan ze complexe en pijnlijke onderwerpen als interlandelijke adoptie, en racisme in onze denkbeelden over seksualiteit, voor de kijkers invoelbaar maken met een rugsteuntje van humor. redactie & interview: Annick van Rinsum beeld: Nicole Spakman video-opname: Job Hulsebosch

Handpicked by Jules and Jonathan, this previous conversation is perfect for starting your year with thought-provoking insights.Are CEOs overpaid?

During the 2024 U.S. presidential election, inflation was one of the most talked about issues, and there was one policy idea to get inflation under control that kept coming up: price caps. But history has shown time and time again that price caps do anything but reduce inflation. So why do policymakers still want to try it?In this episode, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen speak with guest Veronica Rappoport, associate professor at London School of Economics and former 2nd Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Argentina. Veronica served as the deputy governor during a key period of high inflation for Argentina. She chats with Jonathan and Jules about the circumstances that can lead to inflation rates as high as the ones Argentina has seen in the last 50 years, how band-aids like price caps can in fact make inflation significantly worse in the long run, and what lessons countries like the U.S. can take from Argentina's case.  Find All Else Equal on the web:  https://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/allelse/All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions Podcast is a production of the UPenn Wharton Lauder Institute through University FM.

In this episode Listen to a conversation between your host Vivienne Aerts and Dutch composer and guitarist Corrie van Binsbergen - as we talk about her various projects, being on tour with her projects leading to her new focus: composing for orchestra and following her passion for storytelling.   About Corrie van Binsbergen Guitarist, composer and band leader Corrie van Binsbergen finished her classical guitar studies in 1983. She has been active in a very wide musical range and played with numerous different bands and groups, in pop, jazz and improvised music, music for theatre and dance productions, recording sessions, TV-shows and even the circus. This very broad musical background can be heard in her music. She has developed her own characteristic style both in playing and composing. In 1996 she founded the ‘Stichting Brokken', with which she realizes a new, surprising and successful production every one or two years, where she brings together different musical styles and (cross) art forms for a far broader audience than jazz concerts can reach. She combines music and literature to ‘movies for your ears'. Nowadays Van Binsbergen mainly works as a composer. ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Website⁠ About ViviTalks - Interviews with the Women Behind Typuhthâng.

Private credit is one of the fastest-growing asset classes, and today we take a closer look at why that is, and if it's really worth the hype. When you invest in private credit, you are essentially lending money to borrowers who might have difficulty accessing loans elsewhere. While these assets may be profitable, they can also incur a lot of risk and typically come with illiquidity. It is traditionally traded among institutional and accredited investors, rather than retail investors, namely, non-professional investors. Since private credit has gained so much popularity in recent years, we use today's conversation to unpack how private credit works, the role of private credit funds, the associated performance fees and risks, and what retail investors should know about this asset class before deciding to invest. Our conversation investigates one of the top reasons for private credit's rise in popularity, namely risk-adjusted returns, before evaluating whether this is a worthwhile reason to invest, depending on who you are. Stay tuned for our after-show section where we discuss the proposed changes to the capital gains tax, why the death of value could be exaggerated, and more!   Key Points From This Episode:   (0:00:18) Today's main topic, private credit, and our upcoming webinar on May 22nd.
