Ep26 “Investigating Implausible Theories: The Case of COVID” with Matt Ridley

When COVID-19 shut down the world economy in 2020 many wondered where it had begun and why the pandemic had even started in the first place. In this episode of All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen discuss with Matt Ridley (biologist and author of Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19) about the possible origins of the coronavirus pandemic, and the reasons that the thinking on what the origin is has changed over time.
