  • How to Combat Common Ownership
    Last episode introduced the concept of common ownership. That’s where major investors buy significant stakes across competing firms, which can lower competition, raise prices, and affect innovation. But what could be done about that? Is there a way to address these anti-competitive issues? Host Curt Nickisch talks potential solutions with Florian Ederer, Allen and Kelli Questrom Professor in Markets, Public Policy & Law at BU Questrom; Glen Weyl, founder of the RadicalxChange Foundation and the Plurality Institute; and Fiona Scott Morton, Theodore Nierenberg Professor of Economics at the Yale School of Management.

  • What Happens When the Same Investors Own Competing Companies?
    When the same big investors buy stakes in multiple competing companies, are those firms still competitors? When they practically have the same owner, do they set their prices differently? Do they lose their drive to innovate? This is not a thought experiment. It’s real and widespread—a phenomenon known as common ownership. Is common ownership just smart investing, or is it reducing competition and driving up costs? And what, if anything, should be done about it? To explain, host Curt Nickisch speaks to Florian Ederer, Allen and Kelli Questrom Professor in Markets, Public Policy & Law at BU Questrom. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Why is Healthcare Not Better and Cheaper?
    Innovation is what drives progress—but in healthcare, progress can feel frustratingly slow. New treatments, technologies, and approaches have the potential to save lives and reduce costs, yet systemic barriers often stand in the way. Are financial incentives in this regulated market holding innovation back? If so, how badly? What would it take to realign them? Today, host Curt Nickisch speaks to Jim Rebitzer Professor, Markets, Public Policy & Law, Questrom School of Business, and his brother Bob Rebitzer, National Advisor at Manatt Health.

  • How Do Employees Feel about Executive Compensation?
    As we’ve discussed these last few episodes, there’s a lot that goes into how executives get paid—but what about the people working beneath those executives? How do employees feel about executive compensation, and how can companies balance rewarding top leaders while keeping employees engaged and valued? Today, we explore how pay structures shape workplace culture, trust, and motivation—and what can be done to make them feel fairer. Host Curt Nickisch speaks to Charlie Tharp, Professor of the Practice at BU Questrom School of Business and Peter Fasolo, Former CHRO at Johnson & Johnson. Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Are CEOS Paid Just For Luck?
    For our next conversation on executive compensation, we’re exploring some of the big questions researchers are tackling today. Like: How much of CEO pay is driven by luck? Have these pay packages gotten too complex? And are CEOs being fairly rewarded — or punished — for the risks they take? Host Curt Nickisch is joined by BU Questrom Professors Ana Albuquerque and Charlie Tharp. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
