Episode 13: All-city Carbon Emissions: Understanding City Types and Impact
No full textRuntime 10:08It is common practice to consider the carbon emissions of single cities. But what happens when you analyze carbon emissions for all cities in a country using nationally aligned data? In this podcast, Anu Ramaswami, professor at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, discusses how all-city analysis can reveal “city types” that help inform carbon policy and action.Ramaswami, Anu; Conners, Kate.

Episode 11: Local Health Co-Beenfits of Urban Climate Action
No full textRuntime 08:55Reducing carbon emissions across multiple urban infrastructure sectors can yield significant local air pollution related health co-benefits. But cities will see and experience these co-benefits in different ways and to different degrees. In this podcast, Anu Ramaswami, professor at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, discusses the emerging science around how to connect global carbon reduction actions to city-specific health outcomes.Ramaswami, Anu; Conners, Kate.

No full textRuntime 26:59In this podcast, Lauren Martin, director of research at the Urban Research and Outreach-Engagement Center (UROC) and affiliate faculty member of the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, addresses sex trafficking and commercial sex, defining their differences and dispelling myths. When it comes to the relationship between sex trafficking and mega sporting events, an issue that drew increased attention as Minnesota prepared to host the big game, Martin notes that "it's not that there's no impact, it's that the impact is akin to any large event."Martin, Lauren; Conners, Kate.

Episode 6: The Limited Prospects for International Tax Cooperation
No full textRuntime 41:31The recent pace of international agreement aimed to reduce tax evasion and avoidance was completely unpredicted prior to the financial crisis. The two targets are often considered to be merely different dimensions of the same problem, but they are largely different problems. In this podcast, Robert Kudrle, Orville and Jane Freeman Chair in International Trade and Investment Policy at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, explores the two problems and the prospects for success in solving them.Kudrle, Robert; Conners, Kate.

Episode 9: Influence of Occupational Licensing and Regulation
No full textRuntime 25:14In this podcast, Morris Kleiner, professor in labor policy at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, discusses the policy implications of occupational licensing and regulation in the United States. Occupational licensing has been one of the fastest growing labor market institutions in the United States since World War II. While evidence from the economics literature suggests that licensing has had an important influence on wage determination, benefits, employment, and prices, there are no clear benefits to consumers.Kleiner, Morris; Conners, Kate.

Episode 2: Public Funding for Energy Research and Development
No full textRuntime 32:59Effective decision making to allocate public funds for energy technology research, development, and demonstration (R&D) requires considering alternative investment opportunities that can have large but highly uncertain returns and a multitude of positive or negative interactions. In this podcast, Gabriel Chan, assistant professor at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs, explores the utility of applying new methods to improve the cost-effectiveness and environmental performance in a deliberative approach to energy R&D portfolio decision making.Chan, Gabriel; Conners, Kate.
