Podcasts about industrial economics

Rising inequality is a concern for governments and everyday people – but it might be useful to put the current situation into historical perspective. Daniel Waldenstrom is professor of economics and program manager for the research program Taxes and Society at the Research Institute of Industrial Economics in Stockholm. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why understanding the metrics of measuring inequality is critical to understanding that not all people — or even countries — are being as hard hit as we might believe. Plus, we'll talk about what might actually work to address poverty. His article in Foreign Affairs is “The Inequality Myth,” and his book published last year is “Richer and More Equal: A New History of Wealth in the West.” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

JUST HOW UNEQUAL IS OUR WEALTH? If you listen to Bernie Sanders rich people are literally stealing the change from poor people's pockets, but of course that is false. But the Gospel of Wealth Inequality is a powerful elixir doled out to gin up envy and greed in the people and it's effective. But is it true? At 1 I'm talking with Daniel Waldenstrom, Professor of Economics, Research Institute of Industrial Economics, Stockholm, Sweden Previously professor at Paris School of Economics, Uppsala University, UCLA about his work on it, and it tells a much different story. Read this for more, but we will dig in today. Find his book on the subject, Richer and More Equal: A New History of Wealth in the West by clicking here.

China's emphasis on accelerating the development of the digital economy and advancing the concept of "Digital China" will give the country a competitive edge in strategic emerging sectors and safeguard global security, said officials and experts.官员和专家表示，中国强调加快发展数字经济，推进“数字中国”建设，将增强中国在战略性新兴领域的竞争优势，维护全球安全。Emphasizing that the boom of cutting-edge digital technologies has emerged as a new engine driving China's economic growth, they called for heightened efforts to push forward the construction of digital infrastructure, bolster the deeper integration of the real and digital economies, and promote technological innovation and the application of rapidly evolving artificial intelligence in a wider range of sectors.他们强调，尖端数字技术蓬勃发展，已成为中国经济增长的新引擎，并呼吁加大力度推进数字基础设施建设，促进实体经济和数字经济深度融合，推动技术创新和快速发展的人工智能在更广泛领域的应用。When delivering a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Second World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province, in December 2015, President Xi Jinping said that China is implementing the "Internet Plus" action plan and advancing the building of a "Digital China".2015年12月，习近平主席在浙江乌镇举行的第二届世界互联网大会开幕式上发表主旨演讲时表示，中国正在实施“互联网+”行动计划，推进“数字中国”建设。In a congratulatory letter sent to the first Digital China Summit, which opened in April 2018 in Fuzhou, Fujian province, Xi called for fostering new driving forces through informatization, in order to promote new development and make new achievements.2018年4月，首届数字中国建设峰会在福建福州开幕，习近平主席向峰会致贺信。他强调，要通过信息化培育新动能，推动新发展、取得新成就。He emphasized that digitalization, networking and the application of intelligent technologies, which have been greatly developed, are playing increasingly important roles in promoting social and economic development, modernizing China's governance capacity, and meeting the people's ever-growing needs for a better life.他强调，数字化、网络化、智能化技术应用水平显著提升，在促进经济社会发展、推进国家治理能力现代化、满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。This year marks the 10th anniversary of the nation's efforts to construct a "Digital China". China's digital economy has gained strong momentum in recent years, with remarkable achievements made in fields such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, industrial software and basic software.今年是“数字中国建设”十周年。近年来，中国数字经济发展势头强劲，人工智能、集成电路、工业软件、基础软件等领域取得了令人瞩目的成就。The added value of core industries of the digital economy accounted for about 10 percent of GDP in 2024, while the total data output reached 41.06 zettabytes, marking a robust 25 percent year-on-year increase, according to the "Digital China Development Report 2024" released by the National Data Administration.根据国家数据局发布的《数字中国发展报告（2024年）》，到2024年，数字经济核心产业增加值占GDP比重将达到10%左右，数据总输出量将达到41.06泽字节，同比增长25%。The report said the total scale of China's computing power reached 280 EFLOPS last year. EFLOPS is a unit of the speed of computer systems and is equal to 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second. Furthermore, it said, the country had built more than 4.25 million 5G base stations by the end of December.报告称，去年中国计算能力总规模达到280 EFLOPS。EFLOPS是计算机系统速度的单位，相当于每秒进行100万亿次浮点运算。此外，报告还称，截至12月底，中国已建成超过425万个5G基站。"To accelerate the building of a 'Digital China', it is crucial to seize the unprecedented opportunities brought about by AI," said Liu Liehong, head of the NDA, at the recently concluded 8th Digital China Summit, highlighting the significance of advancing reforms related to the market-oriented allocation of data elements and implementing the AI Plus initiative.“加快建设‘数字中国'，关键是要抓住人工智能带来的前所未有的机遇。”国家数据局局长刘烈宏在刚刚闭幕的第八届数字中国建设峰会上表示，他强调推进数据要素市场化配置改革、实施“人工智能+”战略具有重要意义。Noting that data serves as a new type of production factor, Liu said that more efforts are needed to increase the supply of high-quality data, accelerate the integration of data elements with AI, technological innovation and industrial development and application, and press ahead with the construction of national computing power infrastructure.刘烈宏指出，数据是新型生产要素，需要加大优质数据供给力度，加快数据要素与人工智能的融合发展、技术创新和产业发展应用，推进国家算力基础设施建设。He noted that new computing power in major computing hubs will account for more than 60 percent of the country's total by the end of this year, and called for cultivating a national integrated data market, establishing standards and systems for data circulation and transaction, and strengthening international cooperation in the digital economy domain.他指出，到今年年底，主要计算枢纽新增算力将占全国新增算力的60%以上。他呼吁培育全国一体化数据市场，建立数据流通交易标准体系，加强数字经济领域的国际合作。Luo Zhongwei, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics, said, "Innovative digital technologies represented by AI, 5G, cloud computing and big data are currently finding a wide range of applications across various industries such as manufacturing, finance and healthcare, and speeding up their integration with the real economy."中国社会科学院工业经济研究所研究员罗仲伟表示：“以人工智能、5G、云计算、大数据等为代表的创新数字技术，正在制造业、金融业、医疗健康等各行各业得到广泛应用，并与实体经济加速融合。”Luo said that facilitating the development of the digital economy is of vital significance for nurturing new quality productive forces, propelling the intelligent transformation and upgrading of traditional industries and consolidating economic recovery momentum, in order to drive a shift from old growth drivers to new ones amid a volatile external environment and tariff pressures from the United States.罗仲伟表示，在外部环境动荡、美国关税压力加大等背景下，推动数字经济发展对于培育新的优质生产力、推动传统产业智能化转型升级、巩固经济复苏势头、促进新旧动能转换具有重要意义。To gain an upper hand amid increasingly fierce international competition, Luo stressed the need to double down on indigenous innovation to make breakthroughs in core technologies in key fields like raw materials, precision components and high-end equipment, and expand the industrial application scenarios of advanced technologies.为了在日益激烈的国际竞争中占据先机，罗仲伟强调，必须加大自主创新力度，突破原材料、精密零部件、高端装备等关键领域的核心技术，拓展先进技术的产业应用场景。In February 2023, China unveiled a plan for the overall layout of its digital development, vowing to make important progress in the construction of a "Digital China" by 2025, with effective interconnectivity in digital infrastructure, a significantly improved digital economy and major breakthroughs in digital technological innovation. By 2035, the nation is expected to be at the global forefront of digital development.2023年2月，中国公布了《数字中国建设整体布局规划》，提出到2025年，“数字中国”建设要取得重要进展，数字基础设施有效互联互通，数字经济水平显著提升，数字技术创新取得重大突破。到2035年，中国数字发展水平要位居世界前列。"As a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation is evolving, promoting the in-depth integration of digital technologies with the real economy is a necessary requirement for establishing a modern industrial system and a strategic choice of forging new competitive advantages on the global stage," said Pan Helin, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's Expert Committee for Information and Communication Economy.工信部信息通信经济专家委员会委员盘和林表示：“新一轮科技革命和产业变革正在兴起，推动数字技术与实体经济深度融合，是构建现代产业体系的必然要求，也是打造国际竞争新优势的战略选择。”The move to develop the digital economy is conducive to enhancing the resilience of industrial and supply chains, advancing new industrialization and realizing Chinese modernization, Pan said.他指出，发展数字经济有利于增强产业链供应链韧性，推进新型工业化，实现中国式现代化。He added that a bigger push is needed to reinforce the dominant position of enterprises in boosting sci-tech advancements, increase financial support for innovation-oriented tech companies, and strengthen the training of high-caliber talent.他补充说，需要加大力度巩固企业在科技进步中的主体地位，加大对创新型科技企业的资金支持，加强高层次人才培养。Wu Jianping, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said the emergence of state-of-the-art digital technologies has laid a solid foundation for unleashing the value of massive data elements, which underscores the significance of safeguarding data security, a prerequisite to ensuring the orderly development of the data industry.中国工程院院士吴建平表示，先进数字技术的出现为释放海量数据要素的价值奠定了坚实基础，保障数据安全对于数据产业有序发展至关重要。AI seen as key人工智能被视为关键AI, which has entered a stage of explosive growth, is spearheading the development of the digital economy and is being integrated into every facet of industrial revolution and people's lives.人工智能已进入爆发式增长阶段，引领数字经济发展，并融入到产业变革和人们生活的方方面面。Robin Li, co-founder and CEO of Chinese tech giant Baidu Inc, said that the application of AI technology is reshaping the industrial landscape and will be a transformative force that revolutionizes development over the next 40 years.中国科技巨头百度公司联合创始人兼首席执行官李彦宏表示，人工智能技术的应用正在重塑产业格局，将成为未来40年发展变革的变革力量。Li said the goal of the intelligent transformation of industries and society through AI is to fulfill people's needs—making technology meaningful only if it serves humanity by creating more value and contributing to society.李彦宏表示，人工智能推动行业和社会智能化转型的目标是满足人的需求——只有服务于人类，创造更多价值，贡献社会，技术才有意义。Zhou Hongyi, founder of Chinese internet enterprise 360 Security Group, said: "Looking ahead, the growth potential of China's economy will come from industrial upgrading driven by technological innovation, while AI represented by large language models will give birth to new production and business models in traditional fields such as manufacturing, agriculture and services, creating more social value."中国互联网企业360安全集团创始人周鸿祎表示：“展望未来，中国经济的增长潜力将来自技术创新驱动的产业升级，而以大型语言模型为代表的人工智能将催生制造业、农业、服务业等传统领域的新型生产和商业模式，创造更多社会价值。”Zhou said 360 Security Group will focus on digital security and AI, adding that it is important to promote the digital transformation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, as they face mounting pressure from a shortage of capital, talent and technology.周鸿祎表示，360安全集团将专注于数字安全和人工智能领域，并指出，推动中小微企业数字化转型至关重要，因为它们面临着日益增长的资金、人才和技术短缺压力。Denis Depoux, global managing director of market consultancy Roland Berger, said, "China has made rapid progress in the development of AI technology, becoming one of the global leaders, and the pace will further accelerate. AI will unlock massive opportunities for our business."市场咨询公司罗兰贝格全球管委会联席总裁丹尼斯·德普表示：“中国在人工智能技术发展方面取得了快速进步，已成为全球领先者之一，而且这一步伐还将进一步加快。人工智能将为我们的业务带来巨大的机遇。”Foreign companies can play a bigger role in supporting China's transformation in fields such as decarbonization and the digitalization of industrial and supply chains, he added.他补充说，外国公司可以在支持中国在低碳化、产业链和供应链数字化等领域转型方面发挥更大作用。digitization/ˌdɪdʒɪtaɪˈzeɪʃn/n.数字化resilience/rɪˈzɪliəns/n.韧性；恢复力interconnectivity/ˌɪntərkəˌnekˈtɪvəti/n.相互连接的状态或能力recalibration/ˌriːˌkælɪˈbreɪʃn/n.再校准；重新调整

The agenda of inequality and wealth focused only on the richest might not reconcile with reality. There have been increases in home ownership (even though buying always has its difficulties, from interest rates to inventory). There is a record of intergenerational wealth transfer from retirement savings and the Regan-era IRA legislation. In the West, family prosperity is higher than ever: assets, cash in banks, pension funds, etc. Daniel Waldenström's book Richer and More Equal makes a case that the West is richer and has less inequality than in the past.  US wealth concentration is higher than in Europe but is lower than before WWII. Major improvements that lower wealth concentration have been pension/retirement funds and home ownership.  Wealth improvement leads to successful business ventures, hiring, and investment, and the most net, new jobs. We are not there yet. Many inequities remain. Capitalism does a fine job generating wealth but not distributing it. It is an ethical and societal responsibility to help others who cannot generate wealth and/or who are denied the opportunity. One reason that we don't appreciate our well-being is that the media prefers to trumpet inequities and problems rather than progress and improvement. Another is that not every grievance expressed is legitimate because the loudest voices often are pursuing very private and personal interests. This podcast was stimulated by an article called The Great Wealth Wave by Daniel Waldenström, a professor of economics at the Research Institute of Industrial Economics in Stockholm. It was published in Aeon.

This accomplishment is attributed to the profound adjustments in economic structure and the optimization and upgrading of industrial composition, Chan said.陈凯表示，2023年上半年，得益于经济结构深化调整以及产业结构优化升级，中国服务贸易成绩亮眼，在世界范围内名列前茅。In the first seven months of the year, China's trade in services maintained stable growth, with its total value reaching 3.67 trillion yuan($505.4 billion), up 8.1 percent year-on-year, according to the Ministry of Commerce.根据商务部的数据，今年前7个月，今年1-7月，我国服务进出口总额3.67万亿元(5054亿美元)，同比增长8.1%。我国服务贸易继续保持增长态势。"The ongoing deepening of China's openness in the services sector represents a pivotal element in securing its domestic economic development. The country's vibrant growth of trade in services, driven by the forces of decarbonization and digitalization, presented a reference for the rest of the world," Chan said.“持续深化中国服务业开放是确保国内经济发展的关键因素。在低碳化和数字化力量的推动下，中国服务贸易蓬勃发展，并为世界其他地区提供了参考。”China will roll out plans to accelerate the cultivation of new drivers for the digitalization of trade in services, implement pilot reforms on basic data systems and promote the development of digital trade through reform and innovation. The country will also establish a national voluntary greenhouse gas emission reduction trading market and boost the services sector's role in green development.中国将加快培育服务贸易数字化新动能，推动数据基础制度先行先试改革，促进数字贸易改革创新发展。建设全国温室气体自愿减排交易市场，支持服务业在绿色发展中发挥更大作用。Jiang Xiaojuan, president of the China Society of Industrial Economics, said on Saturday that digital globalization has given rise to a new type of services trade, with the potential to slash cross-border transaction costs and increase the efficiency of international trade.中国工业经济学会会长江小涓周2日表示，数字全球化催生了一种新型的服务贸易，可降低跨国交易成本，提升国际贸易效益。China's digital services providers have strong competitiveness in riding the wave of digital globalization, Jiang said. The nation should fully harness the opportunities presented by global industrial upgrading and build an international cooperation and exchange platform that will drive the growth of global digital trade, Jiangsaid.她表示，中国的数字服务提供商在数字全球化浪潮中具有强大的竞争力，我们要充分利用全球产业升级带来的机遇，搭建国际合作交流平台，推动全球数字贸易发展。Norman Sze, vice-chair of Deloitte China, said at the trade in services fair that President Xi's remarks demonstrated China's unwavering confidence and determination in promoting profound reforms through high-level openness and in further expediting a new development pattern.德勤中国副主席施能自表示，习主席的讲话展示了中国坚持以高水平开放、促进深层次改革的信心和决心。Under that pattern, the domestic market is the mainstay and the domestic and international markets reinforce each other.在这种格局下，国内市场为主体，国内市场与国际市场相辅相成。China will vigorously boost domestic demand, accelerate the building of a robust domestic market, take the initiative to increase imports of quality services and encourage more exports of knowledge-intensive services, Xi said.习近平强调，中国将着力扩大国内需求，加快建设强大国内市场，主动扩大优质服务进口，鼓励扩大知识密集型服务出口。According to Sze, "This approach is conducive to collaborative efforts with other countries to stimulate global economic recovery and growth, and it plays a crucial role in aggregating 'China's voice' and 'China's solutions' in advancing higher-level openness to the world."施能自表示:“有利于携手各国共促世界经济复苏和增长，为推进更高水平对外开放汇集‘中国声音'和‘中国方案'。”Mohammed Al Ajlan, deputy chairman of Ajlan & Bros Group, said, "As the first Saudi private company to participate in the CIFTIS for two consecutive years, we are looking forward to taking this platform to conduct in-depth exchanges with more Chinese companies.沙特阿拉伯阿吉兰兄弟集团副董事长穆罕默德·艾尔·阿吉兰表示:“作为第一家连续两年参加中国国际服务贸易交易会的沙特民营公司，我们期待着利用这个平台与更多的中国公司进行深入交流。”"We hope to strengthen cooperation in emerging fields such as 5G,artificial intelligence, big data, biotechnology, financial technology and automation, among others, join hands with more Chinese companies to tap into the potential of Saudi-China bilateral economic and trade cooperation, and help investors from the two countries achieve a higher level of cooperation," Al Ajlan added.“我们希望加强在5G、人工智能、大数据、生物技术、金融技术和自动化等新兴领域的合作，与更多的中国企业携手挖掘沙中双边经贸合作的潜力，帮助两国投资者，实现更高水平的合作”，阿吉兰补充。Jin Zhongxia, head of the International Department of the People's Bank of China, the country's central bank, said at a separate meeting on Sunday that to further promote financial sector opening-up at a higher standard, the country will improve the management model of pre-establishment national treatment plus the negative list, optimize the business climate and strengthen regulatory capacity to control risks at a level commensurate with openness.中国人民银行国际司司长金中夏3日在另一场会议上表示，为了推动金融业更高水平对外开放，中国将完善准入前国民待遇加负面清单管理模式，优化营商环境，加强监管能力，确保金融管理能力与开放水平相匹配。Rosy英 /ˈrəʊzi/美 /ˈroʊzi/adj.乐观的；美好的Service英 /ˈsɜːvɪs/美 /ˈsɜːrvɪs/n.服务业Trade英 /treɪd/美 /treɪd/n.贸易，交易；行业；职业vi.交易，买卖；以物易物vt.用…进行交换

Multinational corporations have voiced optimism and confidence in China's long-term potential for economic growth, despite mounting external uncertainties such as the potential risks of decoupling and supply chains disruptions.尽管外部不确定因素越来越多，如脱钩和供应链中断的潜在风险，但跨国公司对中国经济增长的长期潜力表示乐观。They also are beefing up efforts to expand their presence in the world's second-largest economy through further investment and localized operations.跨国企业正加倍努力，通过进一步投资和本地化运营来扩大在世界第二大经济体——中国的影响力。Economists and industry insiders said any intention of decoupling from China is clearly infeasible and against the historical currents, and attempts to do so would hamper the recovery of the world economy, which is suffering from high inflation and downside risks.经济学家和业内人士表示，任何与中国脱钩的意图显然是行不通的，也是违背历史潮流的，这将阻碍全球经济在高通货膨胀和下行风险中的复苏步伐。They also highlighted China's economic resilience and pivotal position in global industrial and supply chains.经济学家和业内人士还强调了中国经济的韧性和在全球产业链和供应链中举足轻重的地位。Their comments came as Bloomberg quoted anonymous sources as saying that United States President Joe Biden aims to sign an executive order limiting investment by US businesses in key parts of China's economy, around the time of the summit of the Group of Seven advanced economies, which is scheduled to start on Friday in Japan.在上述评论被发表之际，彭博社援引匿名消息人士的话表示，美国总统拜登打算在5月19日召开的七国集团峰会前后签署一项总统行政令，以限制美国企业对中国经济关键领域的投资。Hideki Ozawa, president and CEO of Canon China, said: "The anti-globalization trend has not affected the development of Canon's business in China or the relationship between Canon and our Chinese partners. On the contrary, China's opening-up remains a significant source of new opportunities for Canon."佳能（中国）有限公司总裁兼首席执行官小泽秀树表示：“逆全球化趋势并未影响佳能在中国业务的发展，也没有影响佳能与中国合作伙伴的关系。相反，中国的开放仍是佳能获得新机遇的重要来源。”Ozawa said that with the upgrading of China's industries and consumption, domestic demand for overseas high-end manufacturing and high-tech services is growing rapidly, and Canon will seize the opportunity and continue to extend and deepen cooperation with its Chinese partners.小泽秀树表示，随着中国产业升级和消费升级，中国国内对海外高端制造和高科技服务的需求快速增长，佳能将抓住机遇，继续延伸和深化与中国合作伙伴的合作。"The Chinese economy is very resilient, and China is the most important market for Canon. Canon is confident in the Chinese market. … We will establish a more comprehensive supply chain from research and development to production and sales in China, and invest more here," he added.他还补充道：“中国经济非常有弹性，中国是佳能最重要的市场。佳能对中国市场充满信心......我们将在中国建立从研发到生产和销售的更完善的供应链，并在中国进行更多投资。”Frank Meng, chairman of Qualcomm China, said the company has always been optimistic about the long-term development of the Chinese economy and will continue to increase investment and expand cooperation in China.高通中国区董事长孟樸表示，高通公司始终看好中国经济的长远发展，将继续加大在华投资，扩大合作。"The number of Qualcomm's employees in China has grown by double digits almost every year since 2018," Meng said.孟樸说：“自2018年以来，高通在中国的员工人数几乎每年都以两位数的速度增长。”In addition, Qualcomm has established joint innovation centers with partners, which is an important part of the company's continuous development in China, he said.此外，高通还与合作伙伴建立了联合创新中心，这是高通公司在中国持续发展的重要组成部分。Data from the Ministry of Commerce showed that foreign direct investment in the Chinese mainland, in terms of actual use, expanded 4.9 percent year-on-year to 408.45 billion yuan ($58.8 billion) in the first quarter of this year. Specifically, FDI in high-tech manufacturing increased 18 percent from the same period a year ago.商务部数据显示，2023年第一季度，中国大陆实际使用外国直接投资额同比增长4.9%，达到4084.5亿元人民币（588亿美元）。具体而言，高科技制造业的外商直接投资同比增长18%。Samson Khaou, executive vice-president of Dassault Systemes Asia-Pacific, said the French industrial software company is highly confident about China's economic growth this year and will continue to invest more in the Chinese market, believing that China's growth will come from both domestic and global demand.达索系统亚太区执行副总裁许善淞表示，法国工业软件公司达索系统对中国2023年的经济增长充满信心，将继续加大对中国市场的投入，相信中国经济将从国内需求和国际需求中得到增长。Charlie Munger, a US billionaire investor and vice-chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, said: "One thing we should do is to get along with China, and we should have a lot of free trade with China. It's in our mutual interest. … Everything that increases the tension between the two … is stupid, stupid and stupid."美国亿万富翁、投资者、伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司副董事长查理·芒格表示：“我们应该与中国和睦相处，与中国进行大量自由贸易。这是符合我们共同利益的。一切加剧与中国之间紧张气氛的行为是愚蠢的，愚蠢的，愚蠢的。”The International Monetary Fund has projected that China's economy will likely expand by 5.2 percent this year, and the country is going to contribute about one-third of global growth this year, which will provide more growth opportunities for other countries.国际货币基金组织预计，今年中国经济有望增长5.2%，对今年全球经济增长的贡献率约为三分之一，这将为其他国家提供更多增长机会。"Technological decoupling would impose significant costs on Asian economies — about 5 percent loss in GDP. That's quite a big number. … In general, technological decoupling is very expensive for not just Asia, but for the rest of the world," said Krishna Srinivasan, director of the IMF's Asia and Pacific department.国际货币基金组织亚洲太平洋部主任克里希纳·斯里尼瓦桑表示：“技术脱钩会给亚洲经济体带来巨大成本——GDP损失约5%。这是一个相当大的数字。总的来说，技术脱钩代价昂贵，不仅是对亚洲，对世界其他地区也是如此。”Tu Xinquan, dean of the China Institute for WTO Studies at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, said Washington's increasingly tightened restrictions will wreak havoc on international economic and trade cooperation, jeopardize global industrial and supply chain safety, and harm the interests of multinational companies around the world.对外经贸大学中国世贸组织研究院院长屠新泉表示，美国日益收紧的限制将对国际经贸合作造成严重破坏，危及全球工业和供应链安全，并损害世界各地跨国公司的利益。Li Xianjun, an associate researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences' Institute of Industrial Economics, said, "Such attempts aimed at containing the rise of China's high-tech sector will motivate Chinese enterprises to double down on independent innovation and achieve breakthroughs in key technologies."中国社会科学院工业经济研究所副研究员李先军说：“这种旨在遏制中国高科技行业崛起的尝试将激励中国企业加大自主创新力度，并在关键领域取得突破。”For example, China Electronics Corp, the country's largest State-owned comprehensive electronic information enterprise group, has launched China's first open-source desktop operating system platform, openKylin, which marked a breakthrough in bolstering the development of homegrown software operating systems.例如，中国最大的国有综合性电子信息企业集团——中国电子信息集团推出了中国首个开源桌面操作系统平台“开放麒麟”，标志着在支持自主软件操作系统发展方面取得的突破。Economist Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at Columbia University, said a lot of the tension between the US and China arises from the US side.哥伦比亚大学可持续发展中心主任、经济学家杰弗里·萨克斯表示，中美之间的紧张局势有很大一部分源于美方。"This is the US' mistake, because some Americans think that if China is rising, the US must be losing," Sachs said. "But this is false. Economics is a win-win cooperative game."萨克斯说：“这是美国的错误，因为一些美国人认为如果中国崛起，美国一定会失败，但这是错误的。经济学是一种双赢的合作游戏。”Multinational英/ˌmʌltiˈnæʃ(ə)nəl/ 美/ˌmʌltiˈnæʃ(ə)nəl/adj.跨国的Decoupling英/diːˈkʌp(ə)lɪŋ/ 美/diːˈkʌplɪŋ/n. 脱钩

On this episode, Sabine VdL interviews David King, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of fast-growing InsurTech startup, Artificial Labs or Artificial.io to discuss the company's strengths and how sport influences David's choices and business outlook. KEY TAKEAWAYS Artificial is very much focused on facilitating algorithmic underwriting within the insurance sector. That means that the Artificial team works with brokers and underwriters to get the data into the right format so that it can be shared between the two and, once it’s been shared... define what the process, pipeline and fundamentals should be to improve decision making and customer experiences and interactions. Insurance is an industry where data AND relationships are really important. We use technology (and algorithms) to help automate the decision making process. The number of variables that a human can take into account in order to make a decision is between 5-7 variables. If you keep on adding more to the decision-making process, then the accuracy of models and algorithms start to decrease. If a business is supported by the right technology, one can make a decision that’s either automated or presented in a detailed and informed assessment of risk. This enables human actors that would make key decisions to make the right commercial risk decisions, even if partly automated. It’s not just about the ability to train a model to assess risks to improve your underwriting performance and make it efficient, it is also about the ability to operate within ecosystems. Part of our secret sauce is that we have a domain-specific programming language that allows us to codify an underwriter’s appetite and to leverage and integrate with any data source or service in order to make a decision. More data are going to be available in future. It is a fact. Are underwriters going to have to be more sophisticated in the way they make decisions? Definitely. Is the market going to become more efficient and therefore does the operational cost ratio need to be lower? Even more... Yes. I think underwriters will need to work closely with portfolio managers, people with more maths skills – I don’t necessarily think that means machine learning/ data scientist type skills will become closer to the underwriting decisions on a day-to-day basis, but I do think that you may have a multi-disciplinary team that understands where the data is coming from and what’s driving true decisions. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’ve always been quite competitive and love "sport." I like team sports probably because my own abilities are quite poor. If you’re a team player you can leverage the abilities of other people and I look to elite sport to understand what cultures drive performance and how people operate too.’ ‘Technology won’t take over and make all the decisions. Still, you’ll have strategies that are set by very data-informed people and you can execute that across a broad spectrum of products, services, and classes.’ ‘The models are only as good as the data you provide to them, but the models don’t exist in isolation, they also exist in a business that needs to be operationally efficient.’ ‘You now need to operate while understanding that you’re not going to have all the components end-to-end, so you need to be able to play nicely with others. This will lead to greater efficiency that provides greater experiences to customers. This also means you keep them longer and can then sell them more things.’ ABOUT THE GUEST David King has worked in digital media and technology since graduating from Nottingham University Business School with a degree in Industrial Economics in 2005. After spending a gap year as Troop Commander in the British Army, King spent time as a Digital Planner for Carat, where he worked with global brands such as Yahoo!, British Gas and Santander. King moved on to become Director at Sure Insurance Services in 2009 where his knowledge of the digital space helped to bring innovative insurance products to market in the medical and health insurance sectors. It was here that his understanding of the insurance market grew, setting the stage for his later foray into space with Artificial Labs. Following his time at Sure, King set up his own digital services company called Data Stripes in 2011. The company delivered highly polished, data-intensive, digital applications for some of the world's biggest brands. In 2013, the success of Data Stripes led King to merge with Johnny Bridges' company ConceptMill, creating Artificial Labs. The company provided high-quality, data-led design to global clients such as BMW, Levi's and Betfair. In 2016, Artificial pivoted into the insurance space, building partnerships with firms such as AXIS and Ambris. King's existing industry experience, combined with Bridges' previous work in insurance companies, meant that the company could take advantage of a growing need for high-quality data and digital platforms amongst insurance companies. Since 2017, King has been steering the commercial ship at Artificial, helping to develop partnerships with global insurance brands such as Convex, Chaucer, Aon and TMHCC. With years of experience in technological innovation now under its belt, the company is prospering as a provider of algorithmic underwriting technology to the London market and beyond.

Norway is Unique: It has abundant natural energy resources and a relatively small population. It's electricity runs mainly on carbon free hydro energy, and it is one of the wealthiest countries on the planet. But most of its wealth comes from exporting fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil. While the Norwegian government aims to accelerate the low carbon energy transition, social resistance rises against new wind farms in order to preserve nature and the cultural heritage of the country. To give an overview over these tricky topics I met with Asgeir Tomasgard. Asgeir is Professor at NTNU in the department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management. He is the director of the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative, and hence he is the one that gave my producer Martin and me the slack to start this podcast. For the recording of this episode, I met him at the Gloshaugen Campus, where he has an office on the 9th floor of one of the main buildings. The view up there is pretty nice across the city of Trondheim. — The NTNU Energy Transition Podcast aims to function as a knowledge hub that empowers individuals and organizations in Europe and beyond to tackle climate change and move our global society toward carbon neutrality.

This week, your hosts Steve Lowry and Yvonne Godfrey interview Bill Stone, James Stone and Ryals Stone of The Stone Law Group (https://www.stonelaw.net/).    Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here To Rate and Review   New! Watch GTP on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKdeO4IodggpSLyhWVdcWKw   Episode Details: The Stone Law Group's trial team -- comprised of father Bill Stone and sons James Stone and Ryals Stone -- explain how they thoroughly investigated a fatal car accident and proved that their client, a promising 19-year-old University of Mississippi student, was not the proximate cause of his own tragic death, as law enforcement investigators initially concluded. In the early morning hours of March 29, 2013, University of Mississippi freshman Price Thornal was attempting to travel from Oxford, Mississippi to his hometown in Tallahassee, Florida to celebrate his father's birthday. Price's Honda Civic was hit head-on by the defendant, who was driving a Dodge Durango on the wrong side of the divided US Hwy 84. Trial lawyers Bill, James and Ryals Stone used the GPS system in Price's car to plot his trajectory and utilized the defendant's cell phone records as evidence of her negligence and opposing trajectory. In spite of the defendant's attempts to cast blame on Price, the Stone Law Group used basic physics as well as expert accident reconstruction to show the jury which car was traveling in the appropriate direction. In November 2021, after just 20 minutes of deliberation, an Early County, Georgia jury found the defendant's negligence to be the proximate cause of Price's death and awarded $26,141,628 in damages.  Click Here to Read/Download Trial Documents   Guest Bios: William Stone: Bill is a trial lawyer from Blakely, Georgia, who specializes in personal injury, wrongful death, professional malpractice, product liability, commercial and consumer fraud cases.

We will also meet Kari Espegren, head of department and senior researcher at the Institute for Energy Technology (IFE), who will tell us about how energy researchers work.

Norway's desire to become a low-emission society by 2050 is entirely dependent on a successful development of so-called "radical technology” that leads to major and rapid changes in society. Changes must come quickly, both in terms of the production and the consumption of energy, for the energy transition to renewables to be achieved. This will require a better synergy between energy and industrial policy. In this episode we will hear from Professor Roger Sørheim from the Department of Industrial Economics and Technology Management at NTNU, and from his colleague, Associate Professor Øyvind Bjørgum.

Pedro Pita Barros, Professor of Economics at the Nova School of Business and Economics, is the recent interviewee of our series of podcasts, “CompCast - Competition Talks".

Since the mid-1990s, economic growth rates in large and populous middle-income countries have substantially outpaced those in OECD countries. This has reshaped the global economy and favoured convergence in global income per capita. The process of ‘shifting wealth’ was led by China and India, but other countries are also contributing to it, including Brazil and South Africa. In spite of the persistence of large gaps in income per capita between OECD and non-OECD economies and the wide inequality within developing countries, most developing countries have improved their macroeconomic management and have started to address long-term structural challenges. Developing countries are still accumulating capital and labour but they are also improving capabilities and increasingly using and producing innovations. However, mastering technology and knowledge in order to move up the value chain is still a goal to be achieved for most of them. To address the new development challenges, some countries are implementing industrial policies to sustain growth by diversifying and upgrading domestic production.The renewed interest in industrial policy poses new challenges and opportunities for policy makers. These issues are explored in this lecture by Mario Pezzini and are based on the 2013 OECD Development Centre report, Perspectives on Global Development 2013: industrial policies in a changing world. Mr Mario Pezzini is Director of the OECD Development Centre. Prior to joining the OECD, Mr Pezzini was Professor in Industrial Economics at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris as well as in US and Italian Universities. Mr Pezzini has also served as an advisor in the field of economic development, industrial organisation and regional economics in international organisations and think tanks, including the International Labour Organisation, United Nations Industrial Development Organisation, European Commission and Nomisma in Italy.
