Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. While we’re in between our more in-depth seasons, we like to bring you something a little different in mini-season format. And for this mini season, we are going to highlight some of the amazing researchers who have presented at IMSI over the past year. Our sixth, and final, guest is Lars Peter Hansen. Lars is the 2013 recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics and a Professor at the University of Chicago with appointments at the Economics Department, the Booth School of Business, as well as the Statistics Department.. Lars joined us at IMSI for a workshop on Economic Impacts of Climate Change where he presented a talk titled: How should Climate Change Uncertainty Impact Social Valuation and Policy? Host Sam Hansen joined Lars for a conversation about the research in his talk and Lars’s time at IMSI.
