SUMMARY:Stephen Opata - "Inflation forecasting performance of a developing economy central bank- The Case of Ghana" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis study used historical inflation forecast data of the Bank of Ghana and quarterly inflation outcomes to assess forecast performance through the use of Mincer-Zarnowitz regressions and the incorporation of step indicator saturation (SIS) methodology. This paper also compared the forecast performance of the Bank of Ghana against other forecasts\, notably a benchmark forecast using the random walk model proposed by Atkeson and Ohanian (2001) and the IMF WEO forecasts. We concluded that the central bank’s forecast outperformed the other forecasts followed by the random walk forecast judging from the ratio of the root mean squared forecast errors. The Diebold Marino test further supported the conclusion that the central bank’s one-step-ahead forecast was superior with a statistically significant difference in the accuracy of the one-step-ahead central bank forecast compared to the random walk forecast. Using the concept of encompassing\, we concluded that the central bank’s forecasts reflected all information embedded in the random walk forecast but the latter forecast did not reflect all information embedded in the central bank’s one-step-ahead forecast.. The Bank of Ghana’s one-quarter-ahead inflation forecast was found to be efficient with or without the incorporation of SIS variables\, however a stronger efficiency was exhibited when SIS variables were incorporated in the forecast. The stronger efficiency exhibited by the forecast that incorporated the SIS variables points to the importance in addressing outliers and structural breaks when evaluating inflation forecasts especially in developing economies such as Ghana. There was evidence that the Bank of Ghana’s forecasting performance as measured by the inflation forecast error improved with time.

SUMMARY:Willie Nakunyada–“Termination of Correspondent Banking Relationships (CBRs) In Zimbabwe: Trends\, and Implications” - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nFollowing the global financial crisis of 2008\, correspondent banking relationships (CBRs) which facilitate the settlement of domestic and cross-border payments\, have been terminated in several developing countries mostly in Africa\, and the Caribbean. The closure of correspondent accounts is attributed to pressures on global banks to rationalize their business and re-evaluate their risk exposures and viability prospects. This study will use a combination of survey\, single regression models\, and panel regressions to analyze the drivers of CBRs\, as well as its impact on bank credit and remittances in Zimbabwe over the period 2008-2018.

SUMMARY:Sarah Clifford + Benson Tsz Kin Leung (External Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Talk 1: Sarah Clifford\, “Tax enforcement using a hybrid between self- and third-party reporting” \nTime: 14:30 – 15:15 BST \nAbstract: We study behavioural responses to a widely-used tax enforcement policy that combines elements of self- and third-party reporting. Taxpayers self-report to the tax authority but must file documentation issued by a third-party to corroborate their claims. Exploiting salary-dependent cutoffs governing documentation requirements when claiming deductions for charitable contributions in Cyprus\, we estimate that deductions increase by £0.7 when taxpayers can claim £1 more without documentation. Second\, using a reform that retroactively shifted a threshold activating documentation requirements\, we estimate that at least 64% of the response is purely a reporting adjustment. Finally\, the reporting environment is the key driver of behaviour for a substantial part of the population who displays little responsiveness to financial incentives for giving. \nTalk 2: Benson Tsz Kin Leung\, “Learning in a Small/Big world” \nTime: 15:15 – 16:00 BST \nAbstract: This paper analyses how the complexity of the state space and the cognitive ability of individuals explain a wide range of abnormalities in learning behaviours. An individual tries to guess which of N possible states is true\, but has limited cognitive ability that his belief is characterised by a finite automaton of size M. The learning problem is a small world if the complexity of the world N is much smaller than the cognitive ability of the individual M\, and is a big world otherwise. I characterise the optimal learning mechanisms and show that first\, the learning behaviour\, i.e.\, the guesses of the individual\, is close to a Bayesian individual in small worlds but is significantly different from Bayesian in big worlds. Second\, it could be optimal for the individual to ignore some states in big worlds but not in small worlds. It explains ignorance learning behaviours\, such as the uses of heuristic\, correlation neglect\, persistent over-confidence\, inattentive learning\, and other behaviours of model simplification or misspecification. Lastly\, individuals are bound to agree\, i.e.\, make the same guesses\, in small worlds. In big worlds\, individuals could disagree even when they receive a large sequence of public information. \nJoin via Teams

SUMMARY:Ifeatu Uzodinma - "Suppetias Ex Machina: Can AI Technologies Aid Financial Decision-Making of People with Low Socioeconomic Status?" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn this conceptual paper\, we outline how individuals with low socioeconomic status are more vulnerable to making choices that undermine their welfare in economic decision environments that require an acceptable comprehension of risk. We propose that novel technologies\, specifically Artificial Intelligence\, can aid in improving financial decision making for individuals with low-risk comprehension and we suggest avenues where policy can leverage emerging Artificial Intelligence technologies to design specific choice architecture that aids more risk-aware decision-making for vulnerable socioeconomic groups. Lastly\, we discuss the ethics of utilizing nudges for vulnerable populations\, the limitations of our approach\, and how our study can pave the way for future research to improve decision making for socioeconomically vulnerable individuals into how decision-making of people subject to resource scarcity can be improved.

SUMMARY:Kaelo Ntwaepelo - "Assessing the Effects of Macroprudential Policy on the Core Objectives of Monetary Policy: Evidence From Emerging Economies" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nMacroprudential policy instruments have several benefits for central banks to use in managing the financial cycle. Although there is research that examines their effects on output and inflation in emerging economies\, the quantified effects of the change in macroprudential policy actions remain unknown. This study therefore contributes to the existing literature by examining the effect of a one percentage point change in the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio on output and inflation\, in emerging economies. Using a novel macroprudential dataset by the International Monetary Fund (IMF)\, the research employs the local projection method (LPM) to estimate impulse responses to a change in LTV ratios\, for the period 1990Q1 to 2016Q4. The results are expected to indicate that macroprudential policy achieves the desired targets at a relatively small cost and therefore serve as a complementary policy tool that does not interfere with the core objectives of monetary in a major way.

SUMMARY:Su-Min Lee + Shuyi Ge (External Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Talk 1: Shuyi Ge\, “Text-based linkages and local risk spillovers in equity markets” \nTime: 14:30 – 15:15 BST \nAbstract: One stylised fact of asset returns is that the interconnectedness in idiosyncratic returns is non-negligible even in large dimensional systems. The network architecture of firms is the key to study the transmissions of local shocks.  However\, such linkage data is usually unavailable for researchers. This paper uses extensive text data to construct firms’ links that have not been documented in other sources. Utilising the novel text-based linkage data\, I quantity the strength of local risk spillovers in the equity market by estimating a heterogeneous spatial autoregressive model (HSAR) for the de-factored (idiosyncratic) equity returns. The model outperforms several alternative methods in terms of out-of-sample fit. The estimation results show that after removing the common risk factors and industry risk factors\, there is still a considerable degree of local risk spillovers\, and with substantial industrial heterogeneity. By constructing spatial-temporal spillover matrices using the estimated parameters\, we are able to identify the major systemic risk contributors and receivers\, which are of the interest to microprudential policies. From a macroprudential perspective\, a rolling-window analysis reveals that the strength of local risk spillovers increases during the crisis period\, when\, on the other hand\, market factor loses its importance. \nTalk 2: Su-Min Lee\, “Learning-by-losing: Do political parties widen representation to win elections?” \nTime: 15:15 – 16:00 BST \nAbstract: Despite the right to vote being near universal in many countries\, there still exist significant inequalities in political representation\, which may have a profound influence on policy. One contributing factor may be political parties’ selection of candidates for election. I argue that parties may learn from losing elections\, and potentially widen representation among their candidates. I exploit the unique case study of the Conservative Party learning from unexpected landslide defeat in the 1906 UK elections. I use hand-collected biographical data and machine-learning methods to classify over 2\,000 candidates. A one standard deviation increase in the Conservatives’ 1906 defeat in a constituency is associated with a 10 percent decrease in likelihood that the Conservative candidate in the 1910 elections is from the political elite\, and a 19 percent increase that they are from the working class. I find further evidence of a learning process that contributed to their recovery in 1910. \nWatch the recording \n

SUMMARY:Emma Riley + Lukas Hensel (External Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Talk 1: Emma Riley\, “Resisting sharing pressure in the household using mobile money: Experimental evidence on microenterprise investment in Uganda“\nAbstract: I examine whether changing the way microfinance loans are disbursed to utilise widespread mobile money services impacts the businesses of female microfinance borrowers. Using a field experiment of 3\,000 borrowers of BRAC Uganda\, I compare disbursement of a loan as cash to disbursement of a loan onto a mobile money account. After 8 months\, women who received their microfinance loan on the mobile money account had 15% higher business profits and 11% higher levels of business capital. Impacts were greatest for women who experienced pressure to share money with others in the household at baseline\, suggesting that providing the loan in a private account gives women more control over how the loan is used.\n\n\nTalk 2: Lukas Hensel\, “Political activists as free-riders: Evidence from a natural field experiment“\nAbstract: How does a citizen’s decision to participate in political activism depend on the participation of others? We examine this core question of collective action in a natural field experiment in collaboration with a major European party during a recent national election. In a seemingly unrelated party survey\, we randomly assign canvassers to true information about the canvassing intentions of their peers. Using survey evidence and behavioural data from the party’s smartphone canvassing application\, we find that treated canvassers significantly reduce both their canvassing intentions and behaviour when learning that their peers participate more in canvassing than previously believed. These treatment effects are particularly large for supporters who have weaker social ties to the party\, and for supporters with higher career concerns within the party. The evidence implies that effort choices of political activists are\, on average\, strategic substitutes. However\, social ties to other activists can act as a force for strategic complementarity.\n\n\nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Wei-Fong Pan (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: The labour market effect of fiscal policy uncertainty \nAbstract: This study examines the effect of fiscal policy uncertainty (FPU) on job searches and labour demand in the United States. We first develop search-based job search indices and find that increased FPU leads to higher job search levels. However\, rising FPU reduces labour demand as we observe that the number of online job postings by firms declines significantly in response to increasing FPU. The effect of FPU varies across different groups of individuals and regions\, while also being subject to monetary policy stance. Labour market institutions are key to explain such differences. Lastly\, FPU reduces matching efficiency in labour markets. These results are robust to alternative specifications and after isolating the effect of uncertainty from risk. \nWatch the recording \n
