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

SUMMARY:Status consumption and intertemporal substitution --- Anurag Srivastava (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThe empirical measurements of status consumption have focused on visible consumption in developed markets. We use a framework of demand for quality under uncertainty and endowment effects to interpret status as a long-term goal of the consumer in an intertemporal substitution setting. The stochastic and non-stochastic models thus formulated may be more pertinent to the demand for status consumption in developing markets where urban developments are concentrated and wealth differences are higher.

SUMMARY:A decomposition of UK income inequality --- Anisa Butt (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWe investigate the extent to which inequality in the total population is a consequence of income differences between population subgroups stratified by characteristics such as ethnicity and gender. Following Shorrocks (1984) method\, generalised entropy measures are decomposed firstly by ethnic group and then gender into two components\, inequality between and within subgroup populations. Using individual level data for the UK\, we demonstrate within-group income inequality rather than between-group income inequality is the main contributor to overall income inequality. The between-group inequality component for subgroup population decomposition by both ethnicity and gender accounts only for a very small part of the overall inequality. \nHowever\, the question remains\, to what extent can different factors explain inequality within these groups in the UK? Fields (2003) framework is followed\, we measure the relative contributions of a set of factors to inequality in individual disposable incomes using data collected by the UK household longitudinal study (UKHLS). The explanatory variables introduced in an income generating mode are used to generate factor inequality weights. The results suggest the most relevant factors in explaining the observed inequality are Employment status\, Education and Age.

SUMMARY:Unemployment across the Euro Area: The Role of Shocks and Labor Market Institutions --- Zhe Wang (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis paper analyses the impact of shocks and labor market institutions on unemployment across the Euro Area (EA) from 1999 to 2013. Specifically\, I apply the empirical methodology of Blanchard and Wolfers (2000) and Nickell\, Nunziata and Ochel (2005) to identify the direct effects of shocks and labor market institutions on unemployment\, on the one hand\, and the indirect effects of labor market institutions on changing the transmission of shocks to unemployment\, on the other hand. The shocks consist of 1) total factor productivity (TFP) shocks\, 2) the real long-term interest rate\, 3) labor demand shocks\, 4) ECB money supply shocks and 5) ECB unsystematic monetary policy shocks. The labor market institutions cover the unemployment benefit system\, active labor market policies (ALMPs)\, employment protection laws (EPLs)\, the system of wage determination and the labor tax wedge. The results suggest that the real interest rate and labor demand shocks significantly affect the unemployment rate in the EA. As for labor market institutions\, EPLs play a favorable role in reducing unemployment. In contrast\, a higher tax wedge tends to have an adverse effect on unemployment\, not only directly increasing unemployment but also indirectly amplifying the effects of shocks on unemployment. \nZhe’s profile

SUMMARY:Comparison of immigrant children's academic performance with that of natives in the UK --- Richa Saun (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThere have been many studies on the increasing amount of immigration in developed countries\, including the UK. This study focuses on the academic achievements of immigrant children who\, irrespective of the fact they were born in the UK and experienced the same educational system\, experienced a significant gap in academic assessment scores. The study uses the panel data of the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS) cognitive scores\, achieved by the cohort members in their early childhood\, and analyses the academic achievement of the cohort members. The OLS model used in the study compares the numerical and verbal scores for the immigrant children\, as compared to the native children\, by using controls such as ethnicity\, gender\, whether the child goes to an after-school club\, and the frequency of time spent in sports exercise as compared to time spent in reading and writing. This study has found a significant positive relationship between children going to after school and the verbal score. \nRicha’s profile

SUMMARY:FDI and the wider economy in Zambia when Government attempted to capture foreign currency --- Grivas Chiyaba (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn an effort to capture more foreign currency from export earnings\, the Zambian Government implemented currency management policies. In 2012\, the Government introduced a policy to bar the settlement of domestic transactions in foreign currency. This was augmented by another policy in 2013 aimed at improving monitoring of balance of payments. An analysis of foreign currency transactions post 2012 suggests that the immediate impact of the currency management policy was a rise in liquidity on the foreign exchange market. Coincidentally\, the composition of FDI flows components changed at the time of implementing the policies\, with intra-company debt being the main source of financing\, surpassing equity and retained earnings\, which were the main sources prior to 2012. Using confidential Zambian firm-level data covering the period 2008 – 2017\, the study analyses the evolution of FDI\, and provides implications of this analysis both for Zambia and how this might be generalised to other developing countries. The study also investigates whether the new financing strategy by foreign firms was a form of profit shifting or a switch of tax avoidance from one form to another. \nGrivas’ Profile

SUMMARY:Institutional Performance and Sport: Evidence from International Football --- Meshael Batarfi (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nFootball is a popular global game with more than 211 members in FIFA (International Federation of Association Football) from across six football confederations. The performance of these FIFA members is varied across these countries.  This study seeks to investigate the impact of macroeconomic variables on football performance (presented as a winning proportion). Using football data for 184 countries from 1950 to 2014 and applying the fixed effect methods\, the results suggest that a higher level of GDP per capita may lead to better football overall performance for all the countries in the sample\, collectively.  However\, the association between a winning proportion and GDP per capita is only significantly positive among The Union of European Football Associations and Asian Football Confederation countries.  We find that the population size might contribute to football achievements in 184 countries and the significant result was found in The Union of European Football Associations\, and The South American Football Confederation countries.

SUMMARY:Exploring the dynamic relationship between selected Macroeconomic Variables and the Saudi Stock Market via VECM --- Ruqayya Aljifri (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nThis study investigates the long-run relationships between the Saudi stock price index (TASI) and four macroeconomic variables; CPI (as a proxy of inflation)\, Money Supply (M2)\, IIP as a measure of GDP and S&P 500 as a measure of international stock market effects over the period 1988-2018. We observe that\, in the long run\, CPI and S&P 500 have a negative impact on the Saudi Price Index while M2 and IIP have a positive impact on the Saudi Price Index. The Johansen cointegration test and a vector error correction (VEC) model clarify that TASI is cointegrated with CPI\, Money Supply (M2)\, IIP and S&P 500\, which indicates the existence of the long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables included in the current study. In the long run\, the four macroeconomic variables in the system Granger-cause the Saudi Stock Price Index (TASI).

SUMMARY:Migration\, remittances and labour force participation: Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa --- Adesola Sunmoni (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nOne in seven people globally\, live and work outside their region or country of origin. Labour migration is a complex phenomenon that has significant implications for the sending families and countries as well as the receiving regions and countries. While there is considerable literature on the effect of migration at destination\, little is known about the effect at the region or country of origin. This paper seeks to contribute to the literature by estimating the causal effect of migration on the labour force participation of non-migrating household members. In particular\, this study exploits intrahousehold relationships to investigate how the relationship of the migrant to the left behind household member affects their labour force participation. Using data from the African Migration Project and Fixed Effects methods\, this paper finds that the migration of a husband or wife increases the likelihood that the non-migrating spouse will join the labour force. However\, we also find that the migration of children\, parents and siblings has no significant effect on the labour force participation of the left behind household members. Perhaps\, the most surprising result is that the identity of the migrant (I.e. spouse\, child or parent) has no significant effect on the labour force participation of the left behind household members. \nAdesola’s website

SUMMARY:Household finance and financial literacy --- Jim Chen (Economics PhD seminar)
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nIn recent years\, households have become increasingly involved in financial markets and have access to increasing numbers of new financial products and services. Household’s financial literacy\, however remains poor and the cost of financial mistakes can be high. This paper uses a new household data-set and a rich set of covariates to investigate the causal relationship between financial literacy and household saving and borrowing behaviour. Using both standard and extended financial literacy questions\, this paper finds that literacy outcomes are largely comparable to other industrialised economies\, and that higher financial literacy leads to improved financial decision-making.
