Exploring How Regulations Shape Technology Startups

June 1, 2021
Many of the high-growth businesses that account for almost 50 percent of US job creation are young, technology-enabled firms (e.g., those in information technology services, software, advertising and marketing, financial services, and business services). However, their potential for even greater success is stifled by government policies and regulations. In “Exploring How Regulations Shape Technology Startups,” Liya Palagashvili uses new survey and fieldwork data to show which policies matter most for technology startup growth and success and how regulation deters startup innovation and activity.

The magnitude of the economic shock triggered by the pandemic and the lockdowns imposed throughout the United States in the past year cannot be overstated. From its peak in February 2020 to its trough in April 2020, employment shrank by 25.3 million jobs, and the unemployment rate increased from 3.5 percent to 14.5 percent. Long-term unemployment was higher from February to April than during any recession in eight decades. Inflation-adjusted GDP plummeted by roughly $2 trillion between the first and second quarters of 2020, a decrease of approximately 11 percent.

In the summer of 1995, my family and I landed alongside the Amish in rural America after living through five years of war, blockades, and economic and political turmoil following the collapse of the Soviet Union. We found shelter in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and were greeted by the generosity of the Mennonite community, our sponsors who helped us settle into an unknown world. Building a new life from scratch—and with no family, friends or familiarity with the language or culture—is an experience that is simultaneously unique and yet shared by all immigrants across societies and time.

Conversations with Tyler - David Deutsch on Multiple Worlds and Our Place in Them
[link removed]
June 2, 2021
Tyler describes Oxford professor and theoretical physicist David Deutsch as a “maximum philosopher of freedom” with no rival. A pioneer in the field of quantum computing, Deutsch subscribes to the multiple-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics. He is also adamant that the universe (or multiverse) is not incomprehensible — believing that the multiverse and human beings within it have maximum freedom. He joined Tyler to discuss the importance of these principles for understanding the nature of reality and our place in it.
