Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences “for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.”
Today’s #ChartOfTheDay recreates and extends a chart from their seminal 2005 paper, showing the economic paths of North and South Korea. The laureates present the case of the two Koreas as a natural experiment between two halves organised in radically different ways.
In 1960, South Korea had a GDP per capita comparable to that of Liberia or Guatemala. Today, it is an economic powerhouse, with a per capita income more than 30 times greater than its northern neighbour.

Sad to read that my favourite political podcast will end in its current guise. I will miss the mix of analysis and smut. But, as an academic, glad to hear a great appointment in the area of skills, further & higher education.
It's happened! I could not be more delighted that my lovely friend and podcast partner @Jacqui_Smith1 is back in government, as Lord minister for skills, further & higher education. Of course I am beyond bereft that this era of the @forthemanypod ends. More on that later.

On behalf of the Long Run Institute, we congratulate Sir Niall Ferguson, a friend of the LRI, on his elevation to the knighthood in the King's birthday honours. So well deserved. @Dr_LBM @ProfJohnTurner @judyzara hat tip to @yuanyi_z where we first read it!

Good presentation on situating AI in context... and history is the springboard for the discussion. "Data is the new oil" is a gr8 slogan, but history shows resource metaphors can be misleading. Oil fueled industrial revolutions, but data's impact is more nuanced. @LongInitiative

Advancing AI in financial services - where Canada stands - a very specific angle of vision - course and speed are critical also @globalriskfs @LongInitiative @BMO @RBC (source presentation by Dr Agrafioti at #wsai2024 happening now.

The AI governance challenge is a crowded space - it's a gold rush out there reminiscent of early days of past transformations. @RANDCorporation's deep understanding and methods - constantly nnovating them - is clear "signal" amidst noise. Thank you @JasonGMatheny @LongInitiative

Next week we will be hosting Robin Adams at BC Irish Studies!
On Wednesday, February 7 at 4 PM he will give a public seminar in Connolly House
Titled after his new monograph, 'Shadow of a Taxman', Adams' seminar will discuss who funded the Irish Revolution

My review of Adams' book on the finances of the Irish Revolution is out in the Journal of Economic History - bit.ly/3NlX13y
Fascinating account of how a nascent state must construct its own credit (goodwill) at home and abroad to gain financial sovereignty.
