The hidden costs of welfare cuts | McGill Delve
The hidden costs of welfare cuts | McGill Delve
As governments around the world face pressure to reduce public spending, researchers are looking into how welfare cuts affect low-income households' employment, personal finances, and consumption. Jim Goldman, Assistant Professor of Finance at McGill University, and Manuel Adelino, Professor of Finance at Duke University, show that these cuts can trigger a self-reinforcing cycle for financially fragile households. The mechanism behind it has implications well beyond this specific reform.

To fully take advantage of sustainable technologies, many systems may have to change. And that’s not a bad thing. Green technologies open new possibilities for global production systems—and they could quickly make our current systems look outdated. This week on the McGill Delve podcast, Professors Michael Raynor (Ivey Business School) and Sanjith Gopalakrishnan (McGill University) make the case for disruptive innovation of production systems.

Generative AI has many uses for marketers, but this one is more at home in a sci-fi novel than an advertising firm. Marketers can now program chatbots to adopt synthetic personalities, to simulate how a person might respond to ads and messages. But can a machine truly simulate human decision-making? And are these the first steps towards human-like computer intelligence? Two experts weigh in.

Alicia Boatswain-Kyte is a social worker and Assistant Professor of Social Work at McGill University. She has published several studies on Black people’s experiences with healthcare, youth services, the justice system, and more – and her findings challenge us to think differently about how to deliver public services. The secret, she explains, is to let go of racial capitalism.
How conflict made crypto
How conflict made crypto
How did cryptocurrencies grow from “illegal digital currency” to “digital gold” in the eyes of prominent financiers? Why does crypto continue to be so difficult to regulate? And how did social media infighting impact crypto’s rise to prominence? Jack Sadek, a McGill University alumnus and an Assistant Professor at IE University, explored these questions in his research. Here’s what he found.

Theatre was the original thinking machine
Theatre was the original thinking machine
What does Shakespeare’s Macbeth teach us about healing trauma? How is the murder of King Duncan connected to the manosphere? What does Macbeth’s story teach us about ambition, morality, and the pursuit of power? As the world navigates the impacts of AI, Professors Laurette Dubé and Paul Yachnin return us to the oldest thinking machine of all: the theatre.

Depending on who you ask, job hopping is either the shortcut to maximising your career or the best way to sabotage it. But do employers punish applicants who switch jobs frequently? Professors Matissa Hollister (McGill University) and Xavier St-Denis (Institut national de la recherche scientifique) looked into it. Based on their recent study, here’s the evidence on whether or not you should job hop.

Shopping with white guilt
In this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, Professor Mookerjee shares findings from his latest study, “Reparative Consumption: The Role of Racial Identity and White Guilt in Consumer Preferences.” He walks us through how white guilt influences consumer choices – even more than other factors like political affiliation, gender, or race. He also discusses the value of consumerism as a reparative act for businesses that experienced discrimination, and how companies should navigate questions of race when engaging with consumers. Eric Dicaire, Delve’s managing editor, hosts this episode.
The humanitarian side of ops management
The humanitarian side of ops management
Humanitarian logistics are like planning the Olympic Games, but you don’t know where or when it will happen, or how many people will be affected, says Professor Harwin de Vries of the Rotterdam School of Management. This poses a massive operations challenge. How do you create an effective humanitarian response in such unpredictable conditions? In this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, he explores this question and more. Anicet Fangwa, Assistant Professor of Strategy and Organization and an expert in humanitarian management, hosts this episode.

Zand: For AI to reshape radiology, policymakers need to act
AI can accurately and autonomously read normal chest X-rays with incredible accuracy, writes Dr Khashayar "Kashy" Rafat Zand, an experienced radiologist and founder of the Institute for Specialized Medicine and Intervention. This technology will cause a seismic shift in how radiology is conducted in Canada. But to reap the benefits, policymakers need to rethink how they fund the industry. Dr Zand explains how.
The end of oil
The end of oil
Oil producers are the largest greenhouse gas emitters in the world. Will they ever stop? On this episode of the McGill Delve podcast, two experts in management and climate change discuss the end of oil. Professor Ryan Kellogg, of the University of Chicago, thinks oil divestment could happen in the next 75 years. Professor Javad Nasiry, director of the Sustainable Growth Initiative at McGill University, asks him why.
Seeing the everyday entrepreneurs
Seeing the everyday entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship researchers love studying tech founders, but maybe it’s time to widen the lens. High-tech companies only account for a fraction of all entrepreneurs in the world. Meanwhile, we don’t know much about the everyday entrepreneurs – the hairdressers, musicians, electricians – that make our economy hum. Here’s what we’re missing.
Is AI a public good?
Is AI a public good?
With businesses everywhere looking to AI to enhance their work, it’s no surprise that the public sector is considering it, too. But is this a good idea? For Professor Renee Sieber, it’s complicated. AI has a lot of potential for public good. But she’s concerned that, if we’re not careful, we might lose humanity in our government services. This, and more, on the latest episode of the McGill Delve podcast.
Food equity starts everywhere
Food equity starts everywhere
Food equity means everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status or geographic location, has access to healthy, sustainable food. But despite international efforts, billions of people continue to experience hunger and food insecurity worldwide. Professors Laurette Dubé and Jeroen Struben recently published a paper in Nature Communications examining the market mechanisms connected to this problem. They found that, for market actors to be part of the solution, everything needs to change – and everyone needs a seat at the table, rethinking in fundamental ways how business and society operate.
