À propos de cet audio

Each year state and local governments spend $4 trillion dollars. Where does that money come from? Where does it go? Who manages it? And what do citizens and taxpayers have to show for it? In this podcast we explore the budgets, bonds, and bureaucrats at the heart of state and local public finance. The Public Money Pod is a production of the University of Chicago's Center for Municipal Finance. It is co-hosted by Liz Farmer and Justin Marlowe.Copyright 2025 Center for Municipal Finance Politique Sciences politiques Économie

We also talked about how financial education is being taught statewide, how the current interest rate environment affects her approach to investing and reserve funds, and of course, we hear about some of the Treasurer's best unclaimed property stories, including one involving a Red Sox legend! In Ripped from the Headlines, we discuss a story about efforts in Jackson, Mich. to replace lead pipes, and how states and localities around the country are funding programs like these.

  • Insurance Markets, Housing Policy, and the Role of Climate Risk, with Ben Keys
    Jun 9 2025

    This week, we're joined by Ben Keys, Professor of Real Estate and Finance at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania (and former faculty at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy). We spoke with Ben about a wide variety of issues surrounding the intersection of housing policy, insurance markets, and climate change, including how volatile weather is changing insurer behavior, the role of reinsurance, and what current and future federal policy might mean for state and local markets. In Ripped from the Headlines, we discuss a pair of stories investigating areas with too-low home insurance prices and how that is leading some insurers to leave markets where the risk of climate-related home damage is particularly acute.

  • Navigating Muni Market Volatility, with Jennifer Johnston
    May 26 2025

    This week, we welcome back Jennifer Johnston, Senior Vice President and Director of Municipal Bond Research at Franklin Templeton. We wanted to get a sense for the causes and conditions behind municipal market volatility, including what affects issuer and investor behavior on both the retail and institutional sides of the market. We also talk about how today's volatility compares historically with times such as the Great Recession and Covid, the role of technology in servicing funds, and what makes the muni market unique in Jennifer's home state of California. In Ripped from the Headlines, we discuss how current tax reform is sitting with investors and issuers, and how public finance professionals decide when to go to market.
