The Long Run Institute (LRI)
@LongInitiative
The LRI brings together academic experts, senior executives & policymakers to generate insight from hindsight for today's grand challenges.


Daron Acemoglu, Simon Johnson, and James Robinson have been awarded the 2024 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences “for studies of how institutions are formed and affect prosperity.” Today’s #ChartOfTheDay recreates and extends a chart from their seminal 2005 paper, showing the economic paths of North and South Korea. The laureates present the case of the two Koreas as a natural experiment between two halves organised in radically different ways. In 1960, South Korea had a GDP per capita comparable to that of Liberia or Guatemala. Today, it is an economic powerhouse, with a per capita income more than 30 times greater than its northern neighbour. #NobelPrize Visit our Data-Hub to explore more interactive charts. buff.ly/46jFRvq


It's happened! I could not be more delighted that my lovely friend and podcast partner @Jacqui_Smith1 is back in government, as Lord minister for skills, further & higher education. Of course I am beyond bereft that this era of the @forthemanypod ends. More on that later.
















We're looking forward to our joint launch event next month at @TLRHub. Details: ceph.ie/ceph-launch-ev… @tcddublin @TCD_SSP @tcdeconomics @HistoryTcd @QUCEHBelfast @QUBBusiness @HAPPatQUB @hea_irl #EconTwitter #EconomicHistory #EconTwitter #NSRPproject
