Capitalisn’t: Manufacturing Influence
The podcast explores the economics surrounding social-media influencers.
Capitalisn’t: Manufacturing InfluenceThe IGM Economic Experts Panel published 24 polls on important public policy issues this year. All of the returns reflected at least some dissent, but in these five instances, most of the experts agreed.
There is one issue that this distinguished group of economists couldn't make heads or tails of: Your internet bill. More than half the panelists were either uncertain (meaning they saw the existing evidence as ambiguous) or had no opinion (meaning they felt unqualified to vote) on the issue of net neutrality. In 2014 they may have a chance to see how a less-neutral internet works in practice, depending on how a US District Court rules on Verizon v. the FCC.
Finally, in case you missed it, 10 new economic experts joined the panel in November. They answered a sampling of previous polls, which can be found on their individual voting history pages.
