This week, our guest is Pomona College Professor of Economics Gary Smith, who specializes in financial markets and debunking myths in statistical analysis. In this conversation, Professor Smith discusses, among other things, the real-world applications of economics that continue to fascinate him and his collaboration with alumnus Jay Cordes ’93 on several books about misuses of “big data,” including, most recently, The Phantom Pattern Problem.
