The Legacy of Extraction: Resource Curse
<p>Welcome back to the Expanding Economics podcast! In this episode, Noé and Zoya dive into the complex history and future of the natural resource trade. They explore how the wealth of developing nations—from oil in Venezuela to copper in Zambia—has been shaped by a legacy of colonial extraction and neocolonial influence. Their discussion traces the path from the 1884 Berlin Conference to the lost decade of the 1980s, analyzing how Structural Adjustment Programs (SAPs) often stripped nations of the tools needed for domestic development.</p> <p>By examining the Resource Curse and the double externality of environmental and social harm, they shed light on why resource abundance doesn't always lead to prosperity. Tune in to explore how modern strategies, such as moving up the value chain and leveraging the green transition, might finally allow developing nations to reclaim economic self-determination and sovereign growth.</p> <p>Find out more at <a href="https://the-expanding-economics-podcast.pinecast.co" rel="nofollow">https://the-expanding-economics-podcast.pinecast.co</a></p>

Perfectly Discriminated: How Dynamic Pricing Works
<p>Welcome back to the Expanding Economics podcast! In this episode, Noelle and Zoya pull back the curtain on dynamic pricing—the invisible force changing the cost of everything from your Uber Eats order to your next concert ticket. While traditional models suggest that shifting prices simply balance supply and demand, the rise of Personalized Dynamic Pricing (PDP) tells a much more intrusive story. </p> <p>The episode explores the shift from surge pricing to surveillance pricing, where AI models crunch your location, browsing history, and even your battery level to predict your maximum willingness to pay. They break down the microeconomic theory of 1st-degree price discrimination and contrast it with the harsh reality of informational inequality and predatory privacy underclasses. </p> <p>By analyzing the DOJ's recent algorithmic price-fixing lawsuit against RealPage, they shed light on how these systems can exacerbate inequality and erode market trust. Tune in for a deep dive into whether allocative efficiency is worth the cost of our privacy, or if we need to start treating data breaches with the same urgency as environmental pollution.</p> <p>Find out more at <a href="https://the-expanding-economics-podcast.pinecast.co" rel="nofollow">https://the-expanding-economics-podcast.pinecast.co</a></p>
