Welcome to the last podcast interview of 2024! This is the fourth season, 10th episode, which I guess puts us between 110-120 interviews so far. This week's interview with an economist, learning more about their personal story, is Ted Joyce. Ted is a Professor of Economics at Baruch College and the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY), and a Research Associate with the National Bureau of Economic Research's Health Economics program. He's renowned for his contributions to demography and reproductive health policy and his work has appeared in top journals such as the Journal of Political Economy, New England Journal of Medicine, and Review of Economics and Statistics. Ted has been a role model for me ever since I graduated in 2007, graciously corresponding with me, meeting with me at conferences, and talking to me about research and navigating the ropes. He was Mike Grossman's student at CUNY, who I interviewed before and who is himself a very prominent health economist who was also one of Gary Becker's first students. As my advisor, David Mustard, was also a Becker student, that makes me and Ted cousins. So it was nice having a family reunion for this interview. Happy new year everyone. May you all be at ease, be at peace, be safe and be happy. 2025 here we come!Scott's Mixtape Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Welcome to the Mixtape with Scott! To set up this week's guest, let me just share real quick a personal anecdote. When I graduated college, I got a job as a qualitative research analyst doing focus groups and in-depth interviews. I had majored in literature, so this was my first exposure to anything related to the social sciences. I loved the freedom the job gave me to collect my own data and develop my own theories about why people did the things they did. In the evenings I would read articles and books in sociology and anthropology as I felt more grounding in the social sciences could help me in doing a better job. One night I read Gary Becker's Nobel Prize speech, “The Economic Way of Looking at Life”, at the University of Chicago's John M. Olin working paper series. I was hooked. By the time I finished his speech, I knew I wanted to be an economist. But then I read other things too, like a quantitative paper by John Lott and David Mustard's quantitative study on concealed carry laws and crime, and was equally mesmerized. And in that working paper series, I kept coming across references to someone named Ronald Coase and I then went elsewhere to learn about him and his prolific work. David Mustard was a Gary Becker student, and his paper on concealed carry had left an impression on me. He was an assistant professor at the University of Georgia so I applied there and one other school that used his county level crime data for studies on crime. I got into both and went with my ex-wife to visit the school and the faculty. In preparing for the trip, I read a paper by a professor at the University of Georgia named Peter Klein. The paper was entitled “New Institutional Economics” and it drew extensively on that Nobel Prize winning economist I had been learning about, Ronald Coase, another Nobel Laureate named Doug North at Washington University, and Oliver Williamson, a professor at Berkeley. The article was fascinating. It was about a field called “New Institutional Economics”, which I'd never heard of, and Klein explained it well. It was about the endogenous evolution of “institutions” to support and facilitate the organization of human interactions at a high level, most often to support commerce and trade though not just that. The ideas were deep and fascinating. I remember reading that article with a pen and highlighter, going over it and over it, hanging on every word. Not only was the topic fascinating, the author writing it was an excellent writer. There was not a wasted word in it. So when I met with the faculty, including Peter, I was sold on Georgia. But unfortunately, Peter was leaving Georgia for Mizzou and so I just barely missed being in the department with him. So that is a long winded bit of background into telling you that today's guest is someone I've known now for over 20 years — Peter Klein, the W. W. Caruth Endowed Chair at Baylor University in the Entrepreneurship department. Peter is now a professor as well as the department chair at Baylor in our Entrepreneurship department. And so it is my pleasure to introduce you to him. Peter did a PhD at Berkeley and studied under Oliver Williamson, who I mentioned earlier. Williamson would go on to win the Nobel Prize for extending Coase's theory of the firm and helping develop a more robust theory based on transaction cost economics. Peter's work on the firm extends a lot of this work on transaction cost economics continues in that line focusing on the organization of the firm. He is the author of countless articles as well as a new book entitled Why Managers Matter: The Perils of the Bossless Company (with Nicolai Foss). It has been a real joy having him here since I missed him the first time around.As long time listeners know, though, I typically am doing a “mini-series” within the podcast, though, and Peter fits into one of those mini-series. Those mini-series are “the econometricians”, “causal inference and natural experiment methodology”, “Becker's students”, “economists going to tech”, and then “public policy”. But another one I'm slowly picking at has to do with the wings of the profession that fall outside of the exclusively neoclassical tradition, one of which is Austrian economics. And Peter comes from that tradition, though he has mixed it with mainstream economics and made it into something of his own. So, with that being said, let me now turn you over to the podcast!

A fiery Nick Kyrgios has narrowly survived a five-set scare as he battled through his first round match at Wimbledon.The Aussie tennis star beat Brit Paul Jubb 3-6, 6-1, 7-5, 7-6, 7-5 in a match that was more notable for his astonishing sprays at the umpire and a line judge than the tennis itself.Kyrgios branded the line judge a "snitch" who "has no fans" in the opening minutes of the highly-charged tie - and continued with his comments towards the chair - and some British fans - as the match went on.Kyrgios dedicated the win to the "rowdy" members of the crowd who criticised him during the match."I thought I was going to go down there for a bit and it would have been tough to take," he said.Asked about his temperament during the match, and whether he would consider a career in commentary after he retires, he said: "I just talk a lot."Off the court I'm not too bad, on court I'm different. But if they pay me enough I'll probably do it."In the middle of the third game of the opening set, the Aussie's war of words with the officials began.Kyrgios had grown frustrated of people talking between points and his frustration boiled over when a line judge approached the chair umpire.As the changeover continued, courtside microphones picked up Kyrgios calling the line judge a "snitch" who "has no fans".The at-times volatile Aussie completely lost it however after his serve was broken and he clobbered a ball out of the Court 3 stadium his opening round match was being played on. He was handed a ball abuse warning for the act.Kyrgios' frustration got the better of him as a level-headed Jubb claimed the opening set 6-3 with fans watching from the edge of their seats."Nick Kyrgios is so frustrated about being broken to go 5-3 down against Britain's Paul Jubb he has just smashed a ball out of the All England Club and onto Church Road. Jubb, who is playing really well, wins the first set 6-3," The Guardian's Sean Ingle wrote.n standard Kyrgios fashion however, the Aussie completely flipped the script in the second set by taking it 6-1.His dominance was on full display as he broke Jubb's serve multiple times and dominated behind his own serve.As the second set rolled on the Aussie was motivating himself after every point he won, but it didn't stop the chatter during changeovers between him and the chair umpire.Kyrgios' words towards the line judge continued after a check on one of his serves, the Aussie was heard saying she was "the worst I've ever seen" and telling her to "get off the court" as her call was overruled.The Aussie eventually took the third set 7-5.But he lost his stranglehold of the match in the fourth set, losing on tie break before launching into a spray at the umpire about a let call.It was more of the same in the fifth set, as Kyrgios threw away an opportunity to serve out the match - with Jubb breaking back.But Kyrgios' experience shone through as he broke Jubb's serve again to win the fifth set 7-5.- news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
