Abstract

Hear economist David Card speak about his experience of growing up at a farm. In this podcast episode, conducted in May 2022, Card tells us about how his upbringing has shaped his life and how his dad taught him to drive tractors at the age of 10. Card was awarded the 2021 prize in economic sciences for his empirical contributions to labour economics. Besides his work on labour, he has also done extensive research on educational systems. Here he tells us about the positive progress of more gender balanced admission at universities but highlights the increasing problem with underrepresented minorities in economic sciences.
