    Economic History Seminar - David Jacks (NUS)

    1:00pm - 2:00pm, S2.79

    Title: "Suez".

    Abstract: For all its importance, we lack a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the Suez Canal’s opening in 1869. We find that it led to a 72% relative increase in bilateral exports for affected country pairs, potentially suggesting a 12% permanent increase in world trade. We also consider the composition of trade, finding that Suez led to large, concentrated changes in export shares and increased the extensive margin of exports. Finally, shipping cost calculations show that the relative cost of using steamships fell dramatically and immediately after 1869, pointing to a vital role for Suez in the diffusion of steam technology.

    Title: On the Identification of Models of Uncertainty, Learning, and Human Capital Acquisition with Sorting.

    Abstract: We examine the empirical content of dynamic matching models of the labor market with ex ante heterogeneous firms and workers in the presence of symmetric uncertainty and learning about worker ability and human capital acquisition by workers. We allow ability and acquired human capital to be general across firms to varying degrees. We establish conditions under which the primitives of these models are identified based only on data on workers' jobs and wages. Through the lens of the class of models we consider, we investigate the ability of existing empirical measures of the assortativeness of matching to detect the actual degree of sorting. We propose a new measure of matching assortativeness that accounts for the evolving uncertainty about workers' ability and workers' accumulating human capital.

    Title: Uprooted: Human Capital and the Asia Minor Catastrophe (joint with Elias Papaioannou, Seyuhn Sakalli, Elie Murard)

    Abstract: More than a century has passed since the abrupt exodus of 1.2 million Greek Orthodox from Anatolia and their arrival in Greece, a transformative event for the country’s social and demographic landscape. Today, one in three Greeks reports a refugee background. While its historical significance is well-documented, its short-, medium-, and long-term impact on human capital accumulation remains unexplored. How did forced displacement shape the educational trajectories of the uprooted and their offspring? Did refugees invest in portable skills to respond to uncertainty, or did they struggle to catch up with the autochthonous? To address these questions, we trace the educational investments of refugees and their descendants over the last 100 years, leveraging granular census data and a comprehensive mapping of both their origins in Anatolia and settlements in Greece. The analysis provides compelling support for the uprootedness hypothesis. Though initially lagging, refugees settling in the Greek countryside eventually surpassed nearby natives' educational attainment. Their university choices also diverged with refugees’ lineages favoring degrees transferable beyond the Greek labor market, such as engineering and medicine, and natives specializing in law and other fields with a strong home bias. Exploring additional mechanisms reveals the critical role of linguistic barriers and economic conditions at the destination, as opposed to origin and background characteristics. The widespread educational gains of refugees and their descendants over three generations offer some hope that the ongoing surge of forced displacement, despite its tragedy, if properly addressed by the international community, can be a backbone of economic resilience for the affected communities.

    Title: Historical Persistence and the Dynamics of Development

    Abstract: How can we quantify the effects of policy in economies in which firms face adjustment frictions and the economic environment changes constantly? In such settings, changes in the economy may come from new policy changes or from adjustments to past changes. We show how to empirically disentangle both using a structural model of firm dynamics and standard firm-level panel data. We apply our approach to the Indonesian manufacturing Growth Miracle from 1975 to 2015, estimating the model on 40-years of micro data along the observed growth path without assuming that the economy is ever at a steady state. We find that growth from catching-up to previous changes in the economy is key and does not get less important over time, because adjustments are slow and economy-wide changes frequent. Wrongly assuming the economy is in steady state before major new policy changes -- as is common practice in the literature -- can lead to large errors.

    Economic History Seminar - Arthi Vellore (UCI)

    1:00pm - 2:00pm, S2.79

    Title: Traumatic Financial Experiences and Persistent Changes in Financial Behavior: Evidence from the Freedman's Savings Bank 

    Abstract: The failure of the Freedman's Savings Bank (FSB), one of the only Black-serving banks in the early post-bellum South, was an economic catastrophe and one of the great episodes of racial exploitation in post-Emancipation history. It was also most Black Americans' first experience of banking. Can events like these permanently alter financial preferences and behavior? To test this, we examine the impact of FSB collapse on life insurance-holding, an accessible alternative savings vehicle over the late 19th and early 20th centuries. We document a sharp and persistent increase in insurance demand in affected counties following the shock, driven disproportionately by Black customers. We also use FSB migrant flows to disentangle place-based and cohort-based effects, thus identifying psychological and cultural scarring as a distinct mechanism underlying the shift in financial behavior induced by the bank's collapse. Horizontal and intergenerational transmission of preferences help explain the shock’s persistent effects on financial behavior.

    Title: Identification of Informative Core Structures in Weighted Directed Networks with Uncertainty Quantification

    Abstract: In network analysis, noises and biases, which are often introduced by peripheral or non-essential components, can mask pivotal structures and hinder the efficacy of many network modeling and inference procedures. Recognizing this, identification of the core--periphery (CP) structure has emerged as a crucial data pre-processing step. While the identification of the CP structure has been instrumental in pinpointing core structures within networks, its application to directed weighted networks has been underexplored. Many existing efforts either fail to account for the directionality or lack the theoretical justification of the identification procedure. In this work, we seek answers to three pressing questions: (i) How to distinguish the informative and noninformative structures in weighted directed networks? (ii) What approach offers computational efficiency in discerning these components? (iii) Upon the detection of CP structure, can uncertainty be quantified to evaluate the detection? We adopt the signal-plus-noise model, categorizing different types of noninformative relational patterns, by which we define the sender and receiver peripheries. Furthermore, instead of confining the core component to a specific structure, we consider it complementary to either the sender or receiver peripheries. Based on our definitions on the sender and receiver peripheries, we propose spectral algorithms to identify the CP structure in directed weighted networks. Our algorithm stands out with statistical guarantees, ensuring the identification of sender and receiver peripheries with overwhelming probability. Additionally, we propose a hypothesis testing framework to infer CP structure upon detection. Our methods scale effectively for expansive directed networks. Implementing our methodology on faculty hiring network data revealed captivating insights into the informative structures and distinctions between informative and noninformative sender/receiver nodes across various academic disciplines.

    This is a joint work with Wenqin Du, Tianxi Li, and Lihua Lei.

    CWIP (CAGE Work in Progress) Workshop - Yang Xun (Warwick)

    1:00pm - 2:00pm, S2.79

    Title: The Global Health Toll of the Global Gag Rule (with S. Bhalotra and D. Clarke)

    Abstract: The Global Gag Rule (GGR) is a pro-life policy that prohibits foreign non-governmental organizations receiving U.S. aid from providing or advocating for abortion-related services. First introduced by President Reagan in 1984, the policy has been reinstated by every Republican administration and rescinded by every Democrat. We examine the effects of the GGR on maternal mortality across two presidential transitions: Clinton to Bush (1993–2008) and Obama to Trump (2009–2020). Our empirical strategy employs a triple difference design that leverages cross-country variation in US aid dependence and within-country variation in baseline clinic access to measure exposure. We find that the reinstatement of the GGR is associated with higher maternal mortality in aid-receiving countries. We also uncover larger effects under the Trump administration, likely due to the policy’s unprecedented expansion in 2017.

    Applied Economics, Econometrics & Public Policy (CAGE) Seminar - Daniele Paserman (BU)

    2:15pm - 3:30pm, S2.79

    Title: Female Labor Force Participation and Intergenerational Mobility (with Jorgen Modalsli, Claudia Olivetti and Laura Salisbury)

    Abstract: Women's labor force participation increased dramatically over the post-WWII, especially among mothers of young children. How did the entry of mothers in to the labor force impact the transmission of economic status across generations? Using Norwegian registry data we document trends in mothers' labor force participation and intergenerational mobility across cohorts born between 1965 and 1995. The labor supply of mothers almost quadrupled across cohorts. At the same time, the father-child income elasticity declined substantially. At the individual level, the relationship between son's income and father's income is weaker in families in which the mother worked when the son was a young child.

    Using a simple covariance decomposition, we show that 25-33\% of the decline in the intergenerational elasticity (IGE) can be explained by the fact the IGE is lower among families in which the mother works, and such families consitute a larger share of the population over time. Structural factors (e.g. changes in economic opportunity or the education system) can explain the rest of the decline. We then develop a statistical framework that illustrates mechanisms through which mothers' work affects the IGE. Mothers' entry into the paid workforce represents a shift from time-intensive to money-intensive investments in children's human capital. The effect on the IGE depends on sorting in the marriage market, the relative importance of time and money inputs in the production of children's human capital, and income and substitution effects on mother's labor supply. The observed trends can be reconciled with our model if women's productivity in childcare is more valued on the marriage market than their labor market productivity, and if money investments have a larger effect on children's human capital than time investments.

    Teaching & Learning Seminar - Alex Squires (Manchester)

    1:00pm - 2:00pm, S0.18

    Title: Engaging students during and after lectures

    Abstract: Many students are reluctant to engage with the full range of support on offer to them at university. For example, they may avoid interacting with their instructors by not asking questions in lectures and tutorials, and many rarely attend office hours. This is in contrast to their experience before university, e.g. in college or sixth form, where engagement is often higher and student-staff interactions are more common. With much larger student numbers on university courses eLearning technologies are often used to promote engagement and reduce barriers to interactions. In this talk, I reflect on how I have used some of these technologies to enhance student engagement, both during and after lectures, with mixed results. I will then contrast the success of these technologies with changes that I have made to make lecture time more interactive and in-person support more accessible.

    CRETA Seminar - Catherine Bobtcheff

    4:00pm - 5:30pm, S2.79

    Catherine will present a paper co-authored with David Alary (Toulouse School of Economics) and Carole Haritchabalet (Université de Pau) entitled “Organizing insurance supply for new and undiversifiable risks”.

    The abstract is the following: “This paper explores how insurance companies can coordinate to extend their joint capacity for the coverage of new and undiversifiable risks. The undiversifiable nature of such risks causes a shortage of insurance capacity and their limited knowledge makes learning and information sharing necessary. In practice, organizing such insurance supply amounts to sharing a common value divisible good between capacity constrained and privately informed insurers with a reserve price. Widely used ad-hoc co-insurance agreements out to operate as a uniform price auction with an ``exit/re-entry'' option. We compare it to a discriminatory auction, another auction present in the insurance industry. Both auction formats lead to different coverage/premium tradeoffs. If at least one insurer provides an optimistic expertise about the risk, ad-hoc co-insurance agreements offer higher coverage. This result is reversed when all insurers are pessimistic about the risk. Static comparative results with respect to the severity of the capacity constraints and the reserve price are provided. In the case of completely new risks, a regulator aiming at maximizing the expected coverage should promote ad-hoc co-insurance agreements when the reserve price is low enough or when capacity constraints are large enough.”

    Title: Prerationality in Decision Trees with Menu Consequences

    Abstract: This paper extends previous work on consequentialist decision theory to allow timed consequences that accrue at intermediate, non-terminal nodes. This extension implies that each path through a decision tree is mapped to a unique intertemporal consequence stream. Based on results from Hammond (1988b, 2022) concerning consequentialist normal form invariance and prerationality, we consider actual behaviour which, unlike plans or intentions, is dynamically consistent by definition. We prove that actual behaviour is prerational and continuous on Marschak triangles if and only if it maximizes a Bayesian rational base preference relation that is represented by the expected value of a Bernoulli utility index defined on the domain of consequence streams. We also permit any intermediate consequence to include a "menu'' which depends on the set of consequences that are feasible in the continuation subtree whose initial node is the relevant consequence node. Introducing menu consequences allows prerational behaviour to become consistent with a plethora of prima facie “non-consequentialist” phenomena. Prominent examples include apparent violations of the ordinality and independence axioms of expected utility theory. Other instances of “menu effects” include temptation and regret.

    Macro/International Seminar - Amy Handlan (Brown)

    2:00pm - 3:30pm, S2.79

    Title: Monetary Communication Rules by Laura Gáti and Amy Handlan
    Abstract: Does the Federal Reserve follow a communication rule? We propose a simple framework to estimate communication rules, which we conceptualize as a systematic mapping between the Fed's expectations of macroeconomic variables and the words they use to talk about the economy. We provide strong evidence supporting the existence of a communication rule: 30-40 percent of the variation in language of FOMC policy statements is accounted for by variation in Fed forecasts and other policy instruments, like the target rate and asset purchases. We document a significant break in the communication rule in late 2008, over-and-above shifts in the regressors' distributions. There is evidence that communication rules are stronger post-2008 and this impacts how financial markets react. Overall, investors respond to both systematic and non-systematic communication and do so more strongly after 2008, indicating they pay greater attention with more systematic communication.

    Title: Delegated Bidding
    Abstract: We study an interaction in which principals must hire agents
    to bid in an auction. The agents can exert unobserved and costly effort
    to collect information about the value of the object. The optimal remuneration
    scheme must induce the agents to exert effort and then appropriately
    condition their bids on their information. The principals thus face
    a competing-mechanisms problem with interdependence valuations among
    the agents. We identify conditions under which the principals’ mechanismchoice
    game has a pure equilibrium. We characterize the distortions induced
    in the agents’ bidding schemes by the principals’ efforts to reduce the agents’
    rents, and characterize circumstances under which these distortions induce
    overbidding.

    Title: Embedding careers in the curriculum: evaluation of a programme level approach for Economics undergraduates.

    Jointly with Dr Yaprak Tavman (University of York)

    Abstract: Embedding career development within academic curricula has gained attention as an effective strategy to prepare students for the labour market (Bridgstock et al, 2019) and address inequity in graduate outcomes (Flynn et al, 2022).

    Our objective is to evaluate a series of initiatives implemented by the Economics department at the University of York in collaboration with Careers (York Strengths) and external partners (York Health Economics Consultancy, HM Treasury). They are designed to embed career-oriented elements into the curriculum revolving around three themes: self-awareness, discovery and development planning; work-related learning and professional skills; reflective practice and translation of learning into the world of work.

    The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives in achieving the following outcomes: (1) Supporting students to connect academic theories and concepts with their future career aspirations; (2) Designing assessments that are both authentic to professional contexts and encourage reflective thinking; (3) Reducing disparities among students, ensuring equitable access to career development opportunities and improved confidence in graduate transitions.

    The presentation will share preliminary results, utilising anonymous online surveys from Economics students at the University of York. The focus will be on students’ perceptions of the initiatives, their confidence in linking academic learning to career opportunities, and the perceived inclusivity and fairness of career support embedded in the curriculum.

    Abstract: We examine the distributional consequences of trade using the Repeal of the Corn Laws and the Grain Invasion during the 19th-century. We use a newly-created dataset on population, employment by sector, property values, and poor law transfers for over 10,000 parishes in England andWales from 1801–1901. In response to this trade shock, we show that locations with high-wheat suitability experience population decline, rural-urban migration, structural transformation away from agriculture, increases in welfare transfers, and declines in property values, relative to locations with low-wheat suitability. We develop a quantitative spatial model to evaluate the aggregate economic implications of these findings. Undertaking counterfactuals for the Grain Invasion, we show that geography is an important dimension along which the distributional effects of trade occur.

    Title: Delegated Bidding
    Abstract: We study an interaction in which principals must hire agents
    to bid in an auction. The agents can exert unobserved and costly effort
    to collect information about the value of the object. The optimal remuneration
    scheme must induce the agents to exert effort and then appropriately
    condition their bids on their information. The principals thus face
    a competing-mechanisms problem with interdependence valuations among
    the agents. We identify conditions under which the principals’ mechanismchoice
    game has a pure equilibrium. We characterize the distortions induced
    in the agents’ bidding schemes by the principals’ efforts to reduce the agents’
    rents, and characterize circumstances under which these distortions induce
    overbidding.

    Title: Embedding careers in the curriculum: evaluation of a programme level approach for Economics undergraduates.

    Jointly with Dr Yaprak Tavman (University of York)

    Abstract: Embedding career development within academic curricula has gained attention as an effective strategy to prepare students for the labour market (Bridgstock et al, 2019) and address inequity in graduate outcomes (Flynn et al, 2022).

    Our objective is to evaluate a series of initiatives implemented by the Economics department at the University of York in collaboration with Careers (York Strengths) and external partners (York Health Economics Consultancy, HM Treasury). They are designed to embed career-oriented elements into the curriculum revolving around three themes: self-awareness, discovery and development planning; work-related learning and professional skills; reflective practice and translation of learning into the world of work.

    The primary objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of these initiatives in achieving the following outcomes: (1) Supporting students to connect academic theories and concepts with their future career aspirations; (2) Designing assessments that are both authentic to professional contexts and encourage reflective thinking; (3) Reducing disparities among students, ensuring equitable access to career development opportunities and improved confidence in graduate transitions.

    The presentation will share preliminary results, utilising anonymous online surveys from Economics students at the University of York. The focus will be on students’ perceptions of the initiatives, their confidence in linking academic learning to career opportunities, and the perceived inclusivity and fairness of career support embedded in the curriculum.
