We are honoured to announce that on the 20th of March Hal Varian will visit Room for Discussion. Some of you might know him as the author of your microeconomics textbook, others because of his position as chief economist at Google. As a microeconomist prof. Varian has specialized in the role of information in the economy. Starting consulting for Google in 2002 he has been key to Google’s auction design system and corporate strategy. Google has radically changed the way we receive our information, practically serving as the gatekeeper to the internet. However, in recent times there has been increased scrutiny towards superstar firms. In the interview the role of chief economist at Google is discussed, together with how information and automation will transform the economy and what the role of big tech is in our society.
