RFBerlin Podcast Series
Welcome to the RFBerlin Podcast Series, presented by the ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin, dedicated to disseminating cutting-edge research on the economy and labour market to the academic community and beyond.
We invite leading economists to discuss the key challenges the labour market and its workers are facing. Hear what they think about recent economic trends; the impact of new technologies, outsourcing, or migration; and what governments can do to mitigate turbulences. The podcast brings you up to date with the latest empirical research without asking you to move, do math or touch data, but by meeting you where you are.
