SUMMARY:Royal Economic Society Annual Public Lecture 2021: Why digital is so disruptive
DESCRIPTION:The Royal Economic Society is pleased to announce that the RES Annual Public Lecture will be held online on Thursday 6 May between 1pm – 2.30pm. \nEstablished in 2001\, the RES Annual Public Lecture provides an opportunity for school students to watch internationally-renowned economists present their research. Principally aimed at sixth form students\, the APL has become an established part of the senior school calendar. \nThis year’s event will be online and we are pleased to be co-hosting this with the University of York. \nThis year’s lecture will be chaired by RES President Dame Carol Propper and delivered by Prof. Diane Coyle CBE\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences. \nWhy digital is so disruptive: The Internet can be traced back to 1969\, the World Wide Web to 1990\, and iPhone to 2007 – yet it is only in the past few years that “digital disruption” has become a big theme in business. In this lecture\, Diane Coyle\, Bennett Professor of Public Policy at the University of Cambridge\, and an expert on the digital economy\, will explore why digital technology is rewiring the economy – especially now so much activity has been driven online – what economists are learning about its consequences\, and how economic policies need to change. \nBook your place here. \n  \nEconomics Applicant Talk and Q&A – Thursday 6 May 2021\, 5 – 6pm  \nFollowing the lecture\, there will be a short talk hosted by Head of Department Professor James Reade and others within the department.  They will discuss current topics such as Digital Disruption and will leave plenty of time for questions after the talk. \nThis will be a Teams Meeting. \nJoining Instructions: \n\nContact James Reade at j.j.reade@reading.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Julia Wirtz (External Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Control\, cost\, and confidence: Perseverance and procrastination in the face of failure (joint w/ Inga Deimen) \nAbstract: We study effort provision and the development of control beliefs over time: a student is uncertain whether she has control over success through her effort or whether it is determined by her innate ability\, which she also does not know. In each period\, what she can learn about her control and her ability depends on the level of effort she exerts. We characterise the student’s optimal effort policy in this two-dimensional bandit problem\, which may feature repeated switching of the effort level. Moreover\, we analyse how control\, cost\, and confidence impact perseverance and procrastination in the face of failure. Finally\, we relate our results to findings in educational psychology and discuss policies to foster perseverance and to lower procrastination. \nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Jingqi Pan (ICMA) "On the estimation of Value-at-risk and Expected Shortfall at extreme levels" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThe estimation of risk at extreme levels of significance (such as alpha = 0.01%) can be crucial considering events such as those related to the recent COVID-19 crisis. We extend two popular dynamic semi-parametric models of Patton (2019) that jointly estimate Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES)\, specifically the one-factor GAS model and the Hybrid GAS/GARCH model. The main idea of our approach is to estimate VaR and ES for two levels of alpha simultaneously\, namely for an extreme level and for a more common level (such as 10%). Our simulation results indicate that the proposed models outperform the benchmarks in terms of in-sample loss values\, out-of-sample loss and backtest rejections for extreme values of alpha. In an empirical study\, we apply the proposed augmented GAS model and the augmented Hybrid GAS/GARCH model to energy futures prices (WTI\, Brent\, Gas oil and Heating oil) and compare them with a range of parametric\, nonparametric and semiparametric models. Our results show that both augmented GAS models generally outperform the benchmark models\, and the outperformance is even more prominent during the COVID-19 crisis.

SUMMARY:Anna Zabrodzka "Convergence Across EU Regions and the Role of the EU Cohesion Policy" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nWhile there is evidence that the poorest regions in the European Union experienced the fastest economic growth\, the gap between the richest and the poorest has not diminished. Additionally\, after more than 30 years of intervention\, there is no clear and conclusive evidence that the EU Cohesion Policy has effectively contributed to economic development across the disadvantaged Europe and ensured rising equality across the continent. The inconclusive or often contradictory results of the existing studies warrant further investigation. The aim of this study is to contribute to the discussion and evaluate the macroeconomic impact of the EU Cohesion Policy on the growth of European regions and the process of economic convergence. The study attempts to answer the following question – Is there evidence that the EU structural funds supported economic growth and in turn convergence process among European subnational regions? – by using cross-section\, panel and dynamic panel analysis and the newly available dataset on annual payments provided by the European Commission. The main contribution of this paper is the expansion of the data sample by the 2007-2014 programming period and inclusion of the regions in the Central and Eastern Europe\, which joined the EU in 2004 and 2007\, in the investigation.

SUMMARY:Evripidis Bantis (ICMA) "Forecasting GDP Growth Rates Using Google Trends in the United States and Brazil" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThere are many studies that explore the usefulness of “Big Data” in forecasting specific economic variables such as unemployment or inflation\, but only a few focus on the overall economic activity. Thus\, the purpose of this paper is to nowcast GDP growth rates by using a dynamic factor model based on traditional economic indicators as well as on Google search data. Our analysis covers Brazil and the United States over the period of 2005-2019. Moreover\, we employ several variable selection methods to investigate whether factor models with targeted predictors provide forecast gains when utilizing high dimensional datasets. Empirical results show that factor models with targeted predictors based on both economic indicators and Google search data provide forecast gains compared to factor models that are based only on economic indicators. When we isolate the source of forecast improvements\, we find that pre-selecting predictors indeed matters\, but gains appear mostly in forecast horizons and tend to vanish as we move to nowcasting and backcasting horizons. Finally\, only the main Google Trends categories provide forecast benefits\, while they appear to perform better for the United States rather than in Brazil.

SUMMARY:Shahabeddin Gharaati (RHUL) "The welfare effects of introducing a tax on a collateralized loan" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIn this paper\, I examine the effects of introducing a tax on social welfare in models with collateral and default. Two models are considered. The first model incorporates default and collateral in a standard two-period general equilibrium with incomplete markets; the second is a model with a continuum of investors in the binomial economy who have different beliefs about the asset’s price. The individual that issues the security pays tax in the first period\, then all agents receive a transfer in the second period. In both models\, the borrower demand for the collateralizable durable good decreases. The borrower is worse off due to an increase in the interest rate and a negative income effect.  On the other hand\, a taxation policy benefits the lender through the effect of the tax on the equilibrium interest rate and the equilibrium price of the durable good. In the model with different beliefs\, the utilitarian welfare function always increases; however\, in the standard model\, the social welfare function increase depends on the distribution of endowments of the perishable good in the first period.

SUMMARY:Meshael Batarfi "What differences are there between male and female managers? Evidence from elite women’s soccer" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nWe investigate male and female managers in a highly competitive and data-rich setting: association football. While in men’s football there is minimal gender variation in the high-profile roles\, in women’s football men often take up top management positions; indeed in our dataset 75.18 % of the 14\,000 national and international matches between 1983 and 2020 involved at least one team coached by a male manager. We find significant differences between male and female coaches in a number of the measured characteristics indicating differences in risk preferences.

SUMMARY:Luqman Saeed (RHUL) "Political and Economic Consequences of Humanitarian Military Interventions Abstract" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract \nThis study investigates the impact of humanitarian military interventions (HMIs) on conflict termination\, conflict escalation\, economic output and democratic performance using panel data on 144 countries covering time-period of 1960-2018. Scholars are divided over whether HMIs are an effective means of enforcing peace and establishing economic and political stabilities. This contribution is empirical\, and it exploits a new database on HMIs in post second world war period developed by the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt. The results from multivariate analyses suggest that biased HMIs have deteriorating impact on conflict whereas neutral interventions have positive impact on conflict termination. In particular\, interventions which are biased against rebels\, tend to escalate conflict. Neutral interventions have no significant negative impact on output whereas HMIs biased against governments and rebels lead to around 9 -8 percent decrease in per capita output. Finally\, neutral and against governments HMIs lead to increase in democracy score. These results are consistent in both contemporaneous and long-run decaying modes and also in IV regressions.

SUMMARY:Peter Spittal (External Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Benefit salience and labour supply \nAbstract: I study the salience of dynamic features of the welfare system. I estimate labour supply responses to a large\, lump-sum and foreseeable reduction in benefit income arising from children ageing out of eligibility for Child Tax Credit—a major welfare programme in the UK. I show that the rules governing eligibility are non-salient\, despite the high financial stakes\, and that claimants learn about them through experience. The results also rule out a broad set of alternative mechanisms which are indistinguishable from salience effects in static settings. I then develop a structural life-cycle labour supply model in which individuals may be unaware of the benefit eligibility rules\, using the empirical results to identify key parameters in the model. The model estimates suggest that nearly 82 percent of claimants are initially unaware of the benefit eligibility rules. And the resulting optimisation errors have substantial welfare costs—equivalent to a 14 percent reduction in income from the programme\, with no offsetting benefits to the government. The findings identify a new source of inefficiency in the welfare system\, and highlight the importance of recognising that dynamic features of policy may be non-salient. \nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Steven Bosworth (Internal Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Parental time investments and instantaneous well-being in the United States (with Almudena Sevilla and Ignacio Gimenez-Nadal) \nAbstract: We use the Well-being Modules of the American Time Use Survey to document that\, despite spending about 30 minutes more in child care per day\, higher educated mothers report lower levels of instantaneous well-being than less-educated mothers during child-related activities. Our results hold after controlling for a wide set of cofounders\, including life satisfaction. We present an identity economics model of “intensive mothering” to explain these findings: mothers with high education relative to a reference group select into an identity which places high value on human capital outcomes. This identity confers high social prestige but requires costly investments to maintain a separating equilibrium. Consistent with the model\, we find that the education gradient in maternal instantaneous well-being is unique to child care activities. There is no education gradient during non-child-related activities\, among fathers or among non-mothers. \nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Konstantina Boutsioukou (RHUL) "Parental background and access to tertiary education in Greece: Changes in times of crisis" - PhD seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn this study I explore how university entry patterns in Greece were affected by the debt crisis over the period 2008-2016. In particular\, I study the distribution of educational participation in elite university programmes in Greece and examine whether the link between parental background and admission to elite university programmes has changed as a result of the economic recession that hit Greece in 2009. I use individual-level data for admissions to every undergraduate university program in Greece for nine rounds of admission cohorts (2008-2016) and data on the university admission thresholds (2008-2016) for every undergraduate university programme\, recording the minimum score required for entry. I find that students from higher educational backgrounds are more likely to be admitted to elite departments such as medicine\, law and engineering compared to students from poorer educational backgrounds. However\, the results indicate that the socioeconomic gradient of entry into the elite programmes has become flatter over the years of the crisis.
