How did East Asia Get Rich? Podcast with Oliver Kim!

Dr Oliver Kim has completed his PhD at Berkeley, recently appointed at Open Phil. He does awesome research, carefully examining the drivers of structural transformation. We discussed:

1. Why do you think East Asia is the only region to have converged with the West?

2. How have big data and computational tools changed our understanding of structural transformation?

You can listen to our podcast on Spotify, iTunes, or watch on YouTube.

Below, I include our transcript.
