The special episodes of CTRL ENTER, IDP's Data Science podcast, deal with the origin of the ideas in the papers, the challenges in preparation and the obstacles leading up to publication. We are grateful to Professor Bernardo Mueller for the idea of ​​the series.
In this episode, we talk to William Summerhill, a professor at UCLA, about his article "Big Social Savings in a Small Laggard Economy: Railroad-Led Growth in Brazil."
