For general information about why I'm publishing my podcast research notes, see my first ever note here.

This note is for my Larry Summers interview (episode 159). I'm publishing this note out of sequence; my first note was for my Richard Butler interview (episode 160).

Going forward, I'm likely to publish research notes in chronological order. I can't guarantee them for every new episode, but will endeavour to provide them for many.

Episode 159: Interview Research

For my interview with Larry Summers, I'm sharing three pieces of material:

1. A more-than-6-hour-long video which is a compilation of smaller videos I recorded over the space of about one month as I prepared for the interview. I didn't, however, spend the whole month preparing for the interview with Larry—I probably spent about six to seven days in total. The video includes:
   1. Me reading and digesting an economics paper.
   2. Three tutoring calls with the wonderful economist Basil Halperin, who helped me understand economic growth models and how AI plays into them.
2. A micro-site containing my research notes, including especially on papers/articles by Chad Jones, Daron Acemoglu, Matt Clancy and Dario Amodei.
3. A set of 150 memory-prompts that I wrote and used to prepare for the interview.
