Send us a textIn this episode of Causes or Cures, Dr. Eeks chats with Professor Maureen Cropper, Chair of the Economics Department at the University of Maryland and a leading environmental economist, about her recent research on the health and economic impacts of toxic chemicals in plastics.We explore how an economist came to study chemical exposures and what her research reveals about the true cost of common compounds found in everyday plastic products. The conversation focuses on three major groups of toxic chemicals (BPA, DEHP, and PBDEs) and the serious health risks linked to them. Professor Cropper explains where these chemicals are commonly found, who is most at risk, and how she estimated both the public health burden and the economic costs tied to ongoing exposure.You'll also hear about what she believes needs to change: the policy actions, regulatory strategies, and paradigm shifts necessary to move toward safer, healthier materials. If you're concerned about chemicals in consumer products, interested in environmental health policy, or curious how economists quantify health risks, this episode is a great listen! Professor Maureen Cropper is a Distinguished University Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland and Chair of the Economics Department. She is also a Senior Fellow at Resources for the Future and a former Lead Economist at the World Bank. Dr. Cropper is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Her research focuses on valuing environmental amenities, estimating consumer preferences for health and longevity improvements, and analyzing the trade-offs inherent in environmental regulations. Her recent work examines the public health and economic impacts of toxic chemicals found in plastics.

A domestic rice shortage in Japan has caused supermarket shelves to empty and prices to double. Rice is more than a staple food in Japan—it carries deep cultural, historical and even spiritual significance. The rice crisis highlights broader weaknesses in Japan's economy. Japan imports over half of its food and has experienced persistent inflation. The country's economic resilience is being tested by supply chain pressures, demographic shifts, and increased trade tensions.Efforts to address the shortage have focused on auctioning rice reserves, but underlying economic challenges persist.Contributors: • Yi-Chun Ko, Professor, Asian Growth Research Institute, Fukuoka, Japan • Emiko Ohnuki-Tierney, William F.

Supporting the creation of more, better, and more inclusive jobs is critical towards achieving the goals of poverty reduction and shared prosperity in countries. This is especially true for low-income countries that face multiple challenges, such as informal employment, inequality in earnings, and lack of opportunities, among others, when it comes to creating jobs. Tackling these multiple challenges requires a multipronged approach, including engaging with the private sector. Since 2014, the World Bank's fund for the poorest countries, the International Development Association (IDA) has made jobs a particular focus in its projects. In this episode, host, Birgit Hansl, Manager in the economic management and country program unit in IEG, speaks with Oscar Calvo-Gonzalez, Regional Director of the World Bank's Economic Policy Global Practice in the Latin America and the Caribbean region, and Rashmi Shankar, Lead Economist in IEG. Together, they unpack the challenges that low-income countries face in creating better jobs and discuss how the World Bank can help address some of these challenges focusing on the role of the private sector.

The Silicon Valley Bank collapse, and the sudden perception that there's instability in the banking system, has a lot of us thinking back to 2008 and the financial crisis that spurred the Great Recession. And, whether it's the war in Ukraine, lingering supply-side issues from Covid-19 or high interest rates, we are all feeling the effects of the world economy a little more acutely this year. So are we staring down another financial crisis, or just feeling a little economic speed bump? For some perspectives on those questions, and what it means for corn growers, we're joined in this episode by Krista Swanson, the National Corn Growers Association's lead economist. She provides some much-needed context, and an informed take on what the farm economy might have in store for us over the next few years.

Ruth Hill, a lead economist at the World Bank discusses the actions governments can take to help correct course.

Our warming world needs to wean itself away from fossil fuels, but closing coal mines can impact jobs and communities. How can we ensure people and communities are at the center of the transition away from coal? In this episode of https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/series/the-development-podcast (The Development Podcast), we hear about the challenges and opportunities involved in this important transition. We get the view from some Indian women benefiting from new green jobs, hear from new solar panel owners, and from https://live.worldbank.org/experts/reema-nanavaty (Reema Nanavaty), director of the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA). We also hear from World Bank experts https://blogs.worldbank.org/team/elizabeth-ruppert-bulmer (Elizabeth Ruppert Bulmer), Lead Economist with the Social Protection & Jobs Global Practice, and https://blogs.worldbank.org/team/rachel-perks (Rachel Perks), Senior Mining Specialist with the Energy & Extractives Global Practice. They explain why this task can't be left to future generations to fix, and how phasing out coal can mean new opportunities for communities and jobs.

Featured VoicesElizabeth Ruppert Bulmer, Lead Economist, Social Protection & Jobs Global Practice, World Bank: "There are a whole slew of jobs that will be needed in that renewable energy space. A lot of these coal mining jobs are taken up by people who aren't youth, and then youth are struggling to find some alternative." Rachel Perks, Senior Mining Specialist, Energy & Extractives Global Practice, World Bank: "We also have to be very sensitive that these are communities that have been dependent on their livelihoods and their identities for generations. Now we're asking them to reimagine, in fact, what their entire community is going to look like." Reema Nanavaty, Director of India's Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA): "You create a nurturing economy, generate greener livelihoods, and that is what exactly is just transition."

In a prior episode, we examined the broad economic implications of the European energy crisis as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the related effects of the conflict. And with the winter season fast approaching, we wanted to provide an update on the region's energy situation. We've called on Katharine Neiss, PhD, Chief European Economist, and Magdalena Polan, Lead Economist for major EM economies in Central EU and the Middle East, to summarize the current state of affairs in Europe, detail the current and possible alternative sources of energy for the region, and highlight the areas in which access or reliance on Russian oil and gas has ceased. The duo also hones in on key distinctions in the energy situation across Europe, provides their assessment of the region's outlook for this winter and the next, and hypothesizes how the ongoing energy transformation might ultimately shape Europe. Recorded on August 23, 2022.
