Next was a compelling talk by Chloe Gibbs and Maria Rosales-Rueda on how the expansion of government supported early childcare programs impacts maternal employment at NBER https://www.youtube.com/live/g1v9_edxnmA?si=0KKAwos9cC1wwrjo&t=22793 (5/9) #economics

Next was an amazing talk by Jean Pirole on how morality is inextricably tied to the structure and function of markets and economics more broadly at Cambridge Economics. Pirole builds the case for conceiving of economics as a “moral science,” centering the impossibility of “objectivity” and the importance of grappling directly with our framing of phenomena and recommendations that flow from research.
