1 小时 16 分钟Welcome to the LSE events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Hi, good evening.
Nice to see many of you here.
My name is Henry Overman.
I'm a professor at LSE.
One of the editors of the Economica Journal who are hosting this evening's Coase lecture I'll be chairing.
Welcome to all of you both in the room and online.
We're looking forward to an interesting discussion this evening.
A couple of logistics.
We're not expecting a fire alarm.
If there is one, someone will tell us where to go, I hope.
Mobile phones are silent, please.
Apparently we're happy for you to keep them on nowadays so that you can.
Social media.
I will introduce Ed shortly.
He'll speak for about 45 minutes, 50 minutes, I think we agreed, and then there'll be 25 minutes for questions.
We'll take questions both in the theatre and online.
For those of you that are here in the theatre, there'll be a mic.
Please wait for the mic.
