Law and economics

Well, it sounds like they could be talking about the United States, too.

However, we welcome back to our panel Dr. Julia R. Cartwright, Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research.

Dr. Cartwright, welcome back to Your News Talk America.

Are you there, Dr. Cartwright? Yes.

And the student protests, which obviously fueled many more people who were not students, clearly, but I think it's just indicative of the lack of leadership, frankly, in France, coupled with the fact that they have lost a lot of credibility because they have just been so reckless with their budget.

Right.

We're being joined on the panel this morning by Dr. Julia R. Cartwright, Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research.

Dr. Cartwright, let me lay out some of the statistics.

All right, we are now really excited to welcome Julia R. Cartwright to the program.

Dr. Cartwright is a Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics at the American Institute for Economic Research, AIER.

She's an economist there whose work specializes in law and economics, political economy, and economic development.

Her research has been wide ranging and has covered everything from crypto markets to judicial interventions in courts in East Africa to the developmental impacts of housing regulations.

But the reason that we're having her on today is because a lot of the work that she has been doing in the last year has been examining the economic impact of data centers and given how controversial data centers have been over these last few months and heading into this election season, we reached out to her and we're thrilled that she's joining us.

That's a super cool title.

Julia Cartwright, Senior Research Fellow in Law and Economics, and Thomas Savidge, who is a Research Fellow at AIER.

Welcome, guys.

Thanks for having me.

Can this arrangement possibly be lawful? To answer that question, I'm delighted to have a conversation with my Harvard Law colleague, John Coates, the John F.

Kogan Professor of Law and Economics.

John served as General Counsel of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and before coming to Harvard, he was a partner at Wachtell Lipton, specializing in financial institutions.

John, thanks for chatting with me.
