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

SUMMARY:Abdulaleem Isiaka (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: What is the redistributive impact of reallocating government spending? Evidence from a sample of middle-income countries \nAbstract: This paper employs the fixed effects estimator in examining the redistributive impact of financing welfare programmes through cuts in other government spending components within a panel of 51 middle income countries over the period 2005–2015. Additionally\, this study investigates how the percentile income shares of different income groups within the sample are affected by the spending reallocations towards welfare programmes. This study finds that the twin objective of reducing inequality and benefiting all income groups can be achieved if the right social welfare programme is financed by cuts in expenditure on infrastructure\, agriculture and other sectors of the economy. However\, no evidence is found to confirm that inequality reduces with reallocations from defence spending towards social welfare programmes. Upon splitting the sample by income levels\, this paper finds that reallocations towards education spending are more crucial in upper middle income countries while spending reallocations towards social protection and health spending have greater relevance in lower middle income countries. Based on its findings\, this paper recommends that policy makers in middle income countries give greater consideration to the redistributive prospects of spending reallocations towards social welfare programmes. \nDownload the paper \nWatch the video

SUMMARY:Marina Della Giusta & Sarah Jewell (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Working for nothing \nAbstract: We document the differences in time allocation to the labour market by different personality types in the UK\, and show how they may account for some of the labour market disadvantage experienced by more neurotic types (and the advantage experienced by more conscientious types) which has been documented in numerous studies. We make use of all nine available waves of the Understanding Society Survey and show that particular personality types are more prone to working longer hours\, and unpaid overtime hours\, and experiencing time pressures. \nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Alex Mihailov (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Quantifying the macroeconomic effects of the COVID-19 lockdown: Comparative simulations of the estimated Galí-Smets-Wouters model \nAbstract: This paper considers 3 scenarios regarding the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown\, staying for 1\, 2 or 3 quarters\, and 2 types of exceptionally rare and devastating disruptions in employment modeled as adverse labour supply shocks\, a temporary one without loss in the labour force due to deaths or a permanent one\, with deaths. The temporary labour supply shock simulations delimit a lower bound\, designed to match about 1/4 of the labour force unable to work\, and an upper bound\, matching about 3/4 of the labour force made economically inactive\, broadly consistent with estimates. The permanent labour supply shock is designed to match\, in 3 scenarios again\, up to 1% loss of the labour force due to mortality\, twice milder than the Spanish fl‡u 2% death rate. Estimated calibrations of the Galí-Smets-Wouters (2012) model for 5 major and most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic economies are simulated: the US\, Germany\, France\, Italy and Spain. The simulations suggest that even in the most optimistic scenario of a brief (lasting for 1 quarter) and mild (with 1/4 of the labour force unable to work) lockdown\, the loss of per-capita consumption (6-7% in annualised terms down from the long-run trend in the impact quarter) and per-capita output (3-4% down) will be quite damaging\, but recoverable relatively quickly\, in 1-2 years. In the most pessimistic simulated scenario of temporary loss the effects will be 10-15 times more devastating\, and the loss of output and consumption will persist beyond 10-15 years. Permanent loss of up to 1.5 percentage points of per-capita consumption and output characterises the simulated permanent labour supply shock. \nDiscussion Paper \nWatch the recording

(joint w/ Marina Della Giusta) \nAbstract: The paper presents the economic literature on gender bias\, illustrating the underpinnings in the psychology of bias and stereotyping; the incorporation of these insights into current theoretical and empirical research in economics\, and the literature on methods to contrast bias presenting evidence (where it exists) of their effectiveness. The second part of the paper presents results of an experiment in revealing unconscious bias. \nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Stefania Lovo (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Renewable energy technology adoption and the diffusion of information and behaviour in social networks: Evidence from rural China \nAbstract: This paper investigates how social networks affect renewable energy technology adoption. We distinguish between two channels through which social networks may play a role: the diffusion of information\, and the diffusion of behaviour. We conduct a survey on biogas technology adoption in rural China to identify individuals’ networks. We find that both the diffusion of information and behaviour drive farmers’ technology adoption. In addition\, we find heterogeneous social network effects. Friends and relatives or individuals that are trusted affect adoption through the diffusion of information\, while less trusted individuals such as government officials affect adoption through the diffusion of behaviour. \nWatch the recording

SUMMARY:Maxim Belitski (Virtual Seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Music is in the air: What startups can learn from a jazz jam session \nAbstract: While numerous models exist that explain innovation in startups\, factors that facilitate the process of development and implementation of knowledge leading to innovation are often unknown. We use the jazz jam session model and apply the configurational perspective on 377 start-ups in the United Kingdom (2002-2016) to extend knowledge on the role that internal and external factors play in a startup innovation. We explain exploratory and exploitation type innovation through factor configurations\, contrasting to internalization of improvisation in prior research. This work may help entrepreneurs and managers to design and deliver innovation process building on the jazz jam session model. \nWatch the recording
