Le médecin américain Jesse William Lazear est mort tragiquement en 1900, à l'âge de 34 ans, en cherchant à prouver sa théorie sur la transmission de la fièvre jaune. Son sacrifice fait partie d'une des histoires les plus poignantes de la recherche médicale. À la fin du 19e siècle, la fièvre jaune était une maladie dévastatrice qui sévissait régulièrement dans les Amériques et les Caraïbes, causant de nombreuses morts. À l'époque, la communauté scientifique ne comprenait pas bien comment cette maladie se propageait. Jesse William Lazear faisait partie d'un groupe de chercheurs basés à Cuba, qui tentait de prouver la théorie selon laquelle la fièvre jaune était transmise par des moustiques, en particulier le moustique *Aedes aegypti*. Cette hypothèse avait été initialement proposée par le médecin cubain Carlos Finlay, mais elle manquait encore de preuves solides pour être acceptée par la communauté scientifique. Lazear, déterminé à confirmer cette théorie, a entrepris des expériences risquées. Il travaillait aux côtés de Walter Reed, qui dirigeait la commission de recherche sur la fièvre jaune, et réalisait des tests où des moustiques infectés étaient mis en contact avec des volontaires humains. Dans un acte de dévouement ultime, Lazear s'est lui-même laissé piquer par des moustiques infectés. Bien qu'il soit possible qu'il ait été piqué par accident, certaines sources suggèrent qu'il l'a fait volontairement pour confirmer le lien entre les piqûres de moustiques et la maladie. Peu de temps après, Lazear a contracté la fièvre jaune et est tombé gravement malade. Malgré les efforts de ses collègues pour le sauver, il a succombé à l'infection le 25 septembre 1900. La mort de Jesse William Lazear n'a pas été vaine. Ses notes et observations ont fourni des preuves cruciales qui ont contribué à établir de manière concluante que la fièvre jaune était effectivement transmise par les moustiques. Grâce à ses travaux, la compréhension de la maladie a progressé rapidement, permettant des mesures de prévention qui ont sauvé de nombreuses vies. Le sacrifice de Lazear est aujourd'hui un exemple de la détermination et du courage des chercheurs qui risquent tout pour le progrès scientifique. Sa contribution a été essentielle pour la lutte contre la fièvre jaune, marquant un tournant dans l'histoire de la médecine tropicale. Hébergé par Acast.

Pivoting in life and business can result in growth. The thing is, making decisions on it is challenging. Moreover, knowing the right time to make changes in our path is quite difficult. How can we be able to confront these uncertainties that lie ahead when we decide to pivot our directions to change? In this episode, I talk with Mike Laezer, Founder of Astrology Wolf. We discuss how pivoting in business and life can lead to new paths and growth. With Mike's experience, he highlights the importance of trusting your guts, intuition, and facing your fears to overcome problems ahead. Additionally, he points out to follow our intuition for career pivots, even if the path is unclear. Join us to learn how to pivot with the expert! --- Listen to the podcast here: Thriving Through Change in Business and Life Through Pivoting With Mike Lazear Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Today, I want to talk to you all about pivoting, because what we all know about really building anything, whether it be founding a business or starting something else on your own, is that you need a little bit of stick-to-itiveness. You need to stick to it, you need to not give up right away, because it is not an issue of instant gratification as so and so our culture is right now. However, there are times when it does become time to pivot, whether you need to find a new way to promote your business, try a new business, or just try something new in general because the time has come to move on. And one of the challenges that we all have is when is it time to move on and when is it that you're giving up too soon? Today, my guest is Mike Lazear. He is the founder of Astrology Wolf and also the founder of a business he recently sold, 515 Media, to talk a little bit about all the pivots he has made in life. ---   Mike, welcome to the program.   Hi, thanks, Stephen. It's good to be here.   It's good to have you as well. Now, obviously, you've done a lot of pivoting in your life so let's just start with your story from the beginning. When did you first decide that you wanted to found your own businesses as opposed to what I usually describe as living by the script?   Yeah, thanks, and it's so funny because when I actually did start my first real legitimate business, I wasn't even necessarily trying to do it. I had always wanted to before I went that direction in my life sort of live more independently and I had this whole thing of like if I could find a way to just have enough time to do as many creative projects as I could and not have to spend all my time earning a living and it felt like it was almost an obstacle or a problem to solve so that's kind of what got me first into it. When I graduated from the University of Minnesota, I had a degree that didn't really have a lot of translatable skills with the bachelor's, I was a psychology graduate. So, I was always interested in programming, computer stuff, got into that. I took some courses at Portland State, mainly HTML, CSS, and I got a job out there working for a really great company called One Economy. They're wonderful, but I don't think they exist anymore.    Oh, that's too bad.    The area where I worked, I don't even remember exactly what happened but a bunch of us got laid off kind of at once and I had started kind of getting my own clients doing web development, doing frontend coding, CSS, HTML. This was back in the days too where CSS was kind of a newer thing and I was learning — when dev is a lot more complicated today. It certainly became that way. So it was sort of by accident. I just was getting so many clients that I was kind of frantically looking for another job and I'm like I'm actually making enough now where I can almost see this just continuing. Then I started thinking about my dream of not having to go to a nine-to-five and just do what everyone else is doing.

We discuss the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with Shawn Ely of Lazear.

«En el arroyo grande, que la lluvia había dilatado hasta la viña, nos encontramos, atascada, una vieja carretilla perdida toda bajo su carga de yerba y de naranjas. Una niña, rota y sucia, lloraba sobre una rueda, queriendo ayudar con el empuje de su pechillo en flor al borricuelo, más pequeño, ¡ay!, y más flaco que Platero. Y el borriquillo se despechaba contra el viento, intentando, inútilmente, arrancar del fango la carreta, al grito sollozante de la chiquilla. Era vano su esfuerzo, como el de los niños valientes, como el vuelo de esas brisas cansadas del verano que se caen, en un desmayo, entre las flores. »Acaricié a Platero y, como pude, lo enganché a la carretilla delante del borrico miserable. Le obligué, entonces, con un cariñoso imperio, y Platero, de un tirón, sacó carretilla y rucio del atolladero, y subió la cuesta. »¡Qué sonreír el de la chiquilla! Fue como si el sol de la tarde, que se quebraba al ponerse entre las nubes de agua, en amarillos cristales, le encendiese una aurora tras sus tiznadas lágrimas. Con su llorosa alegría, me ofreció dos escogidas naranjas, finas, pesadas, redondas. Las tomé, agradecido, y le di una al borriquillo débil, como dulce consuelo; otra a Platero, como premio áureo.»1 «¡Qué palabras más bellas y elocuentes!», exclama el escritor Roberto Lazear a propósito de la exquisita prosa poética del Premio Nóbel Juan Ramón Jiménez. Y tiene toda la razón. En la opinión de muchos críticos Platero y yo es «el libro que más ha emocionado a grandes y chicos de los cinco continentes».2 «¡Cuántas “carretillas atascadas” hay por todas partes! —continúa Lazear—. La vida no es fácil.... Con frecuencia... nos pone como aquella niña, “rota y sucia” y llorando.»3 Pero cuando más desesperados estamos, pasa por nuestro camino un buen samaritano y nos saca del atolladero en que nos encontramos. Al igual que don Juan Ramón y Platero, pone por obra la regla de oro, que dice: «Así que en todo traten ustedes a los demás tal y como quieren que ellos los traten a ustedes.»4 Si bien la ayuda debe prestarse de manera desinteresada y no con el fin de que sea correspondida, «no cabe duda de que... tarde o temprano quien ayuda será ayudado».5 El autor de la regla de oro, Jesucristo, lo establece en la ley de la reciprocidad, que dice que con la medida que midamos a otros, se nos medirá a nosotros.6 A eso se debe que Platero recibiera una deliciosa naranja como si fuera una medalla de oro. Y así también nosotros, si nos empeñamos en ser buenos samaritanos, tarde o temprano recibiremos, como Platero, un «premio áureo» hecho a nuestra medida.

When it comes to the question of whether the economy affects the stock market, it’s not about whether the former is in a good or bad state, but how that relates to what the market was expecting. In today’s episode we get into predictions about labour economics during COVID-19, the relationship between the market and the economy, and how to make decisions that suit your risk tolerance. We kick things off by reviewing insights Edward Lazear and Gerard O’Reilly gave in a recent webinar. They spoke about how the current crisis relates to past events from the perspective of labour economics, and what empirical data is saying about stock returns and the economy. A talking point here is the idea that recessions are defined by committees, and always long after they have either begun or ended. This leads to the topic of whether there is a relationship between economic data and stock market performance. We find many examples of cases in the short and long term where no correlation can be found between the two, and cases where the market starts to recover before the economy. We discuss how this speaks of a fundamental difference in the analytical methods of economists versus investors, not a rigged market. The first group assesses past information while the second invests based on where they think things will go. We talk about what happens when GDP is good but not as high as expectations were, and how per-share earnings growth can only keep up with GDP if no new shares were issued. We then switch to the concept of risk aversion and discuss the differences between system one and system two thinking, before moving into a comparison between two methods of analyzing risk.

Partnerships are the prevalent organizational form in many industries. Most partnerships share profits equally among the partners. Following Kandel and Lazear (1992) it is often argued that ``peer pressure'' mitigates the arising free-rider problem. This line of reasoning takes the equal sharing rule as exogenously given. The purpose of our paper is to show that with inequity averse partners - a behavioral assumption akin to peer pressure - the equal sharing rule arises endogenously as an optimal solution to the incentive problem in a partnership.
