Challenging Economic Assumptions podcast is kind of self-descriptive. It is about challenging our assumed ideas and beliefs of the economic system we live with, which determines so much of our lives, our values and understanding of the world. In this series we hope to unpack some of the not-so-often questioned economic thinking that has lead us here and where we can go next. We talk to various thinkers and activists on the underlying economic assumptions that permeate our society, attempting to uncover new ways forward.

Philip Heimberger | Meta-Analysis and Evidence Based Research in the Field of Economics

In this episode Gerry and Carmel talk with Philip Heimberger, an economist from the Vienna Institute for International Economic studies. As a lead researcher utilizing meta-analysis within the field of economics, Philip uncovers some of the inconsistencies across so-called 'evidence-based' theories which have been used to justify national and regional policy decisions across the world.

Philip holds a PhD in economics from the Vienna University of Economics and Business and has published some incredible research papers that question whether public debt affects economic growth and if employment protection affects unemployment. His research offers some much needed reflection on the often-unquestioned economic models and theories that are still leant on today.
