    7: All roads lead to Rome: the persistence of public goods provision in economic development
    Mar 1 2023
    Pablo Selaya interviewed by Tim Phillips, 30 May 2018

    Recent evidence suggests that infrastructure put in place by the Roman empire over 2,000 years ago might have lasting economic consequences to this day. In this Vox Talks, Tim Phillips talks to Pablo Selaya about his recent research on the persistence of historical public goods provision, in the form of road network development in Roman times. The specific features of these roads - originally built for military access into newly-conquered territories - meant the transport network grew to be uniquely extensive and efficient, with lasting benefits for economic development.

    Swati Dhingra, Karl Whelan, Luc Frieden interviewed by Tim Phillips, 29 June 2018

    2 years on from the UK’s referendum vote to leave the EU, substantial questions about the path to Brexit remain. In this special edition of Vox Talks, Tim Phillips talks to Swati Dhingra, Karl Whelan, and Luc Frieden about how the process of Brexit negotiation is itself impacting UK households already, from food price inflation to bilateral trade relations across Europe. The data suggests these effects are not transitory, but will persist beyond the current climate of policy uncertainty.

    Nauro Campos interviewed by Tim Phillips, 22 June 2018

    The issue of how to reform the EU is well discussed in research and policy. But through which institutions and in which order these reforms should take place is less well debated. Nauro Campos discusses the role of Europe’s institutions in its successes and failures. Based on the findings of the recent CEPR eBook, “Bretton Woods, Brussels, and Beyond: Redesigning the Institutions of Europe”, he suggests that the risks of not reforming these institutions are at least another recession across Europe, but also threats to the European project itself.
