Many respondents underestimated how much progress we made in last 4 decades & how many people used to live in extreme poverty not that long ago. In 1980, about 42%(!) of people in the world lived with less than the equivalent of around 2 USD/day (adjusted for price differences).

Just a note to say I am super proud of our PhDs @UAB Barcelona School of Economics Albert Rodriguez Albert Rodríguez-Sala, Christian Aleman Christian Aleman & Sarah Zoi Sarah Zoi who went to the market last year & have started positions Edinburgh University, ECARES and Federal Reserve Board. Well done!!!
