The two mega mortgage buyers had been picking up risky loans and selling them with a guarantee of repayment. This amplified the housing crisis and forced the Federal government to bail them out. Ever since, there's been a serious movement to dismantle Fannie and Freddie. But last week, Chicago Harris Professor Benjamin Keys released a paper suggesting that Fannie and Freddie might be doing the economy a hidden favor by redistributing risk and cash - to the tune of $20 billion. http://harris.uchicago.edu/files/podcasts/8_The$20BillionEqualizer.mp3 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:04:00 -0600 26:06 cagnew@uchicago.edu (UChicago Podcast Network)no505509,policy,public,policy,politics,political,science,research,Radio,Harris,Harris,School,Chicago,Harris,University,of,Chicago,UChicago,crime,economics,health,education,Chicago Chicago Harris Last month, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists decided to move its historic Doomsday Clock forward two minutes.

But when it comes to math, American kindergartens are falling way behind. Teachers are focusing on material that kids already know, challenging them little and costing them big in the long run.

Rauner is inheriting a state in serious financial turmoil. The deficit is expected to nearly double in a year, while revenues are expected to drop by billions. Meanwhile, a $100 billion pension debt looms large in the background. What can be done, and how might Gov. Rauner handle it?

Unilateral. Over-reaching. These are just a few of the terms that have been used to describe President Obama's recent actions on immigration. Is this a Constitutional crisis, typical partisan squabbling, or something else entirely?

In India, as in many parts of the world, that's the status quo. But now that's changing, ad the results are promising. In the newest episode of Radio Harris, we hear from Chicago Harris Assistant Professor Anjali Adukia, who has studied the influence of sanitation facilities on student performance in India.

But as Chicago Harris Assistant Professor Anthony Fowler explains, there's a more fundamental issue that isn't receiving much attention: Who will, or will not, turn out to vote - and what does it mean for the country? In the second installment of Radio Harris, Professor Fowler shares what he's learned about the surprising effects of get-out-the-vote efforts, what the US could learn from Australia, and what it'll all mean on Election Day. http://harris.uchicago.edu/files/podcasts/2_GetOutWhoseVote.mp3 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 15:45:40 -0600 28:18 cagnew@uchicago.edu (UChicago Podcast Network)no505509,policy,public,policy,politics,political,science,research,Radio,Harris,Harris,School,Chicago,Harris,University,of,Chicago,UChicago,crime,economics,health,education,Chicago Chicago Harris Over the past several weeks, a sense of panic has been building around the outbreak of the Ebola virus. The disease has dominated headlines, conversations and social media feeds, and not necessarily to our benefit. How does the way we get information about threats like this affect how we respond to them? To find out, Chicago Harris Assistant Professor Daniel Bennett and his co-authors looked at the 2003 SARS outbreak in Taiwan. The paper, co-authored by Bennett, Chun-Fang Chiang of National Taiwan University and Anup Malani of the University of Chicago Law School, is forthcoming in the Journal of Development Economics. What they discovered might make you question what, and how, you're really learning about the threat of Ebola. http://harris.uchicago.edu/files/podcasts/1_HerdMentalityGoesViral.mp3 Thu, 23 Oct 2014 11:23:23 -0600 20:55 cagnew@uchicago.edu (UChicago Podcast Network)no505509,policy,public,policy,politics,political,science,research,Radio,Harris,Harris,School,Chicago,Harris,University,of,Chicago,UChicago,crime,economics,health,education,Chicago
