The Importance of a Good Education

In this week’s podcast episode, The Mixtape with Scott, I am interviewing Paul Oyer. Paul Oyer is a labor economist at Stanford University and author of several books, including "Everything I Needed to Know about Economics I learned from Online Dating", which is one of my favorite "popular general interest books explaining what economics is", as well as "An Economist Goes to the Game" which is about sports and economics. Links below for both. He's a fun, funny and interesting guy whose work in labor economics and personnel economics follows many of my own interests -- how firms hire, what they pay, discrimination, and platforms, just to name a few. I had a lot of fun interviewing Paul and hope you like it too. Thanks for your support, but I welcome even more of it by becoming a subscriber!
