  • S6 Ep27: Why “brain drain” is an incomplete story of migration

    S6 Ep27: Why “brain drain” is an incomplete story of migration
    2025/07/09
    Many developed countries are creating immigration policies designed specifically to attract the most talented migrants. We often assume that when those skilled and educated citizens migrate from low-income countries in search of high-paying opportunities, it causes a “brain drain” in their home countries, delaying or hobbling development. A new article in the journal Science puts that assumption to the test and finds that there is also the possibility of a brain gain at home, as investments in education, remittances, and the contribution of the diaspora to investment and changing norms can more the compensate for the loss of skills.

    Cátia Batista of Nova School of Business and Economics and Caroline Theoharides of Amherst College are two of the authors of the article, and they tell Tim Phillips about what the potential for brain gains, but also the policies that are needed to make sure this happens.

  • S6 Ep26: Minibuses, major gains: Rethinking urban transit

    S6 Ep26: Minibuses, major gains: Rethinking urban transit
    2025/07/03
    In the second of our special episodes recorded at the 5th annual STEG conference, Lucas Conwell of UCL talks to Tim Phillips about how the private minibus networks, such a distinctive feature of urban transit in developing country cities, can improve their service when there is little room for public investment or regulation.

    If you have ever tried them, they can seem chaotic, but would require large or small policy tweaks to make them work efficiently, and what would those tweaks be? Lucas has mapped both the service and the opinions of passengers for Cape Town’s public transit minibuses, and discovered that minimal intervention could improve services, increase security, and decrease wait times.

  • S6 Ep25: Gas flaring threatens agriculture and livelihoods in Nigeria

    S6 Ep25: Gas flaring threatens agriculture and livelihoods in Nigeria
    2025/07/01
    This week on VoxDev talks we have two special episodes recorded at the 5th annual STEG conference. STEG is a research initiative that aims to provide a better understanding of structural change, productivity, and growth in low- and middle-income countries.

    For many economies in the Global South, fossil fuel extraction has been both a blessing
    and a curse. Nowhere more so than Nigeria, where oil production generates huge
    revenues, but also creates an environmental and social burden for the people who live in oil producing regions.

    Arinze Nwokolo of Lagos Business School has investigated one aspect of this burden: how gas flaring that occurs as part of the oil production process affects local agriculture. He talks to Tim Phillips about the dramatic impact it has on agricultural productivity, and how the policy alternatives can change those outcomes.
