Meta/Facebook and Data Privacy: a Clash of Cultures & Generations
16m · PublishedHEC Paris Assistant Professor in Marketing, Klaus Miller, analyzes the February 3 Facebook/Meta stock market plunge. What exactly does it tell us about private data on internet and its links to the advertising world?

This book focuses on Europe’s GDPR and how it affects online publicity. We exchange in Klaus’ apartment in Versailles, near the HEC campus.

Activist Short Sellers and their Narratives: Bringing Down Business Giants With Aristotle
33m · PublishedActivist short sellers are controversial hedge funders that some are calling the modern day Robin Hoods of the business world, others are denouncing as unethical profiteers. Most economists, however, recognize their short selling as a vital part of an efficient and liquid market. HEC academics Hervé Stolowy and Luc Paugam, with their coauthor Yves Gendron, from Université Laval in Quebec, spent three years researching the reports short sellers write on companies they suspect of nefarious activities. They link these narratives to the linguistic tools “ethos”, “pathos” and “logos”, first dreamt up by Aristotle in 350 B.C.E.. In the podcast, Hervé and Luc also share their unique exchanges with three of these sellers, people who rarely reveal their operations.

Inflation Rears its Ugly Head: Why? And What Could be the Impact?
16m · PublishedThe upswing in inflation figures on both sides of the Atlantic, called “reflation”, continues to worry governments and the general public. But what is behind these inflationary pressures? What are the consequences of this 13-year-high in the euro zone (4.1% in October); and 30-year record surge in prices in the United States? To find out what caused these increases and to analyze what could happen in the future, we’ve turn to two HEC academics whose research is linked to the inflation question. Associate Professor Eric Mengus specializes in monetary and macro-economics. His colleague, Associate Professor Gaetano Gaballo is a researcher in the same domains, and he’s also worked for seven years as a senior economist at the Banque de France. In mid-October, they reflected on a wide range of issues linked to reflation.
