Working on Ryan Kellogg's episode. The reason for the paper is essentially this spike. Leasing firms are forced to drill before they would like to because of clauses in the contracts that they sign with subsoil owners. Why do these clauses exist if they seem to generate inefficiencies?

I am trying to set up a starter pack for Podcasts in Economics. I want to cover podcasts of interest to academics, or academic-adjacent listeners. Not Podcasts that tell you whether the stock market is going to go up or down, but podcasts that broadly cover academic research. Any suggestions?
