Leah Boustan on Immigration, Urbanisation and Race

  • Summary

  • What is the role of big cities in the post-pandemic world? Could there be another “White Flight” after the civil unrest and COVID-19 in the US? In our last episode of the Drayton Discourse for this summer, the Economist’s Society is proud to host Prof Leah Boustan, an economist at Princeton University. In this episode, we discuss the use of technology to aid research in economic history, how more women can participate in Economics today, and to what extent has COVID-19 impacted patterns of migration and urbanisation. Prof Boustan also shares her insights on racial issues plaguing society today, and which pattern of events in history she was most impressed by.
