"What Happens When Drug Company Payments to Doctors Go Public?" w/ Prof Tong Guo
Professor Tong Guo explains how mandated transparency didn't reduce pharmaceutical payments to physicians—instead, it taught companies to optimize them. When the federal government mandated that pharmaceutical companies publicly disclose every payment to physicians—from conference sponsorships to consulting fees—policymakers expected transparency to reduce potential conflicts of interest. Instead, the payments kept flowing, and companies learned to optimize them. In this episode, Professor To...

Special Episode: "Should the U.S. End Quarterly Earnings Reports?" w/ Prof Rahul Vashishtha
Trump's push to end quarterly reporting could reshape American business. Professor Rahul Vashishtha explains what research shows about the trade-offs. When companies report earnings more frequently, they make different investment choices, often abandoning profitable long-term projects that don't pay off quickly. This behavioral shift sits at the heart of President Trump's renewed call to end quarterly reporting requirements in favor of six-month reporting cycles. In this episode, Profe...

"Can Your Voice Indicate Leadership Potential?" w/ Prof Bill Mayew
When a CEO speaks during an earnings call, investors typically focus on the numbers being reported. But studies suggest they should also be listening to how those numbers are delivered. The emotional undertones, vocal pitch, and subtle inflections that executives unconsciously broadcast may reveal as much about a company's future as the financial data itself. In this episode, Professor Bill Mayew of Duke's Fuqua School of Business reflects on his research analyzing CEO voices and how vocal cu...

"What Happens to Innovation If Research Funding Gets Cut?" w/ Prof Dan Gross
The next breakthrough drug or industry-disrupting innovation may come from a university lab funded by a federal grant. But a policy shift around how the government supports overhead costs could change which projects are pursued, and which institutions can afford to compete. When the federal government funds scientific research, universities negotiate overhead rates of 50 to 70% over the direct costs of research to cover expenses like lab space and utilities. In reality, they receive far less ...
