Episode notes

On line dating has gotten, it's going to get arety is and is going to get more sophisticated. I've been impressed by the ability of obzoom - we're christened a very primitive stage right now. The actual classes are gongto be cheap because they gin to be delivered by the best online professors. Isn't this a moment where that model could thrive? isn't this an ontrapinerial opportunity? Not me, not maybe not for you, but for someone out there listening, to create a signalling rent seeking experience.

In this c750th (!) episode, Duke University's Michael Munger talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about whether the pandemic might create an opportunity for colleges and universities to experiment and innovate. Munger is Professor of Political Science, Economics and Public Policy at Duke. He believes "top" schools can emerge from the current period of uncertainty to thrive in the long run. The path for "second-tier" institutions could be more difficult. They will still face the challenges that existed before the pandemic: competition from online classes and a shrinking pool of new applicants ready to pay high tuition bills.
