SUMMARY:External Seminar by Paul Telemo (University of Strathclyde)
DESCRIPTION:We will be delighted to welcome Paul Telemo to the Department on 15th November\, to give a Department of Economics invited speaker seminar.\n\nTitle: Intergenerational Occupational Mobility and Routine-biased Technological Change\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis paper analyses intergenerational occupational mobility in the presence of routine-biased technological change (RBTC). During the era of job polarization\, fathers in cognitive jobs became relatively more likely to have sons in cognitive jobs\, while the rise in low–skilled manual jobs was mainly accounted for by children of routine workers. These facts\, among others\, are rationalized in an overlapping generations model where both financial resources and learning ability are transferred from parents to their children. Education choices are endogenous\, and the cost of education depends on the cognitive wage — hence both parents’ income and the economy-wide cognitive wage premium affect the education decision. The model is calibrated to the US economy and successfully captures key empirical patterns. Despite depressing routine wages\, altruistic preferences mean that routine workers born 1950-1965 experienced welfare gains due to RBTC. However\, these gains would be larger if the pace of technological change was slowed down. \n\n\n\nYou can check out Paul’s latest research papers here: https://sites.google.com/view/paultelemo/home

SUMMARY:External Seminar by Sukjin Han (University of Bristol)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Semiparametric Models for Dynamic Treatment Effects and Mediation Analyses with Observational Data\n\nAbstract: This paper proposes a semiparametric model that captures how a sequence of interventions interacts with a sequence of outcomes. In this setup\, the outcome at the given period is affected by the history of treatments and outcomes\, directly or indirectly through mediators. The main challenge in understanding various channels of dynamic effects is that\, in observational settings\, individuals make dynamically endogenous decisions whether to select into treatments. Using the approach of instrumental variables\, this paper shows how the average and quantile dynamic treatment effects and mediation effects can be point identified and efficiently estimated in a class of semiparametric models under treatment endogeneity and flexible heterogeneity. Our procedure only requires binary instruments. As a byproduct of our semiparametric specification\, we also identify and estimate parameters that reflect the degree of endogenous selection and time-invariant heterogeneity.\n\nYou can find out more about Sukjin’s research here: https://sukjinhan.com/

SUMMARY:ROSES Seminar by Karl Whelan (University College Dublin)
DESCRIPTION:Title: “Disagreement and Market Structure in Betting Markets: Theory and Evidence from European Soccer” \nAbstract: Online sports betting is growing rapidly around the world. We describe how the competitive structure of the bookmaking market affects odds when bettors disagree about the probabilities of the outcomes of sporting events. We show that the demand for bets on longshots is less sensitive to the odds than bets on favorites. This means monopolistic bookmakers will set odds exhibiting favorite-longshot bias while competitive bookmaking markets will not have this feature. We develop a version of the model for soccer matches and use these results to explain empirical findings on odds for about 80\,000 European soccer games from two different bookmaking markets. \nLink: https://www.ucd.ie/economics/t4media/WP23_12.pdf

SUMMARY:External Seminar by Xiaochun Meng (University of Sussex)
DESCRIPTION:We will be delighted to welcome Xiaochun Meng to the Department on 25 October 2023\, to give a Department of Economics invited speaker seminar.\n\nTitle: Generalized linear pools for combining probabilistic forecasts\n\n\nAbstract: For many applications\, combining the individual probabilistic forecasts can improve their accuracy. The existing literature has extensively explored linear pools of forecasts of cumulative distribution functions or quantile functions. A general framework of combining methods is proposed\, which encompasses the existing linear pools. We analyse the statistical properties of the proposed generalized linear pools. The framework and theoretical findings enable the provision of recommendations regarding the choice of combining methods and scores to use in practice. An empirical illustration is provided on simulated and real data. \n\n\nYou can check out Xiaochun’s latest research here: https://profiles.sussex.ac.uk/p449675-xiaochun-meng

SUMMARY:External Seminar by Agnes Kovacs (King's College London & IFS)
DESCRIPTION:We will be delighted to welcome Agnes Kovacs to the Department on 18 October 2023\, to give a Department of Economics invited speaker seminar.\n\n\nTitle: Financial Innovation\, the Decline in Household Savings\, and the Trade-off between Flexibility and Commitment \n\nAbstract: This paper investigates the trade-off between two opposing views of financial innovation: the benefit of improved flexibility and the potential cost of weakened commitment. \nTo disentangle their relative importance\, we estimate a model of household behavior that allows for the possibility that housing acts as a savings commitment device. Identification is achieved using novel evidence on consumption growth dynamics. We then use the estimated model to study the macroeconomic and welfare implications of giving households greater access to home equity. We find that the welfare cost of weakened commitment is substantial: approximately 1.7 times larger than the benefit of improved consumption smoothing. Both channels contribute equally to a 2.5 percentage point decline in the personal saving rate. Welfare could be improved using alternative mortgage policies that better balance the trade-off between flexibility and commitment.\n\n \nAgnes’ latest research is here: https://sites.google.com/site/agneskovacs13/

SUMMARY:ROSES Seminar by Matteo Picchio (Marche Polytechnic University)
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our 141st Reading Online Sport Economics Seminar at 9:30am Eastern US\, 2:30pm UK\, 3:30pm Central Europe\, and 9:30pm in Western Australia. We meet on Microsoft Teams. \nSpeaker: Matteo Picchio\, Marche Polytechnic University\, \nTitle: “The Impact of High Temperatures on Performance in Work-related Activities” (work with Jan van Ours) \nAbstract: High temperatures can have a negative effect on work-related activities. Labor productivity may go down because mental health or physical health is worse when it is too warm. Workers may experience difficulties concentrating or they have to reduce effort in order to cope with heat. We investigate how temperature affects performance of male professional tennis players. We use data about outdoor singles matches from 2003 until 2021. Our identification strategy relies on the plausible exogeneity of short-term daily temperature variations in a given tournament from the average temperature over the same tournament. We find that performance significantly decreases with ambient temperature. The magnitude of the temperature effect is age-specific and skill-specific. Older and less skilled players suffer more from high temperatures than younger and more skilled players do. The effect of temperature on performance is smaller when there is more at stake. Our findings also suggest that there is adaptation to high temperatures: the effects are smaller if the heat lasts for several days. \nLink: https://docs.iza.org/dp16431.pdf

SUMMARY:External seminar by Camille Terrier (QMUL)
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Camille Terrier to the Department on 4th October\, to give the first Department of Economics invited speaker seminar of our Autumn term.\n\n \nTitle: Confidence and College Applications: Evidence from a Randomized Intervention\n \nAbstract: This paper investigates the role played by self-confidence in college applications. Using incentivized experiments\, we measure the self-confidence of more than 2\,000 students applying to colleges in France. The best female students and students from low socioeconomic status (low-SES) significantly underestimate their rank in the grade distribution compared to male and high-SES students. By matching our survey data with administrative data on real college applications and admissions\, we show that miscalibrated confidence affects college choice controlling for grades. We then estimate the impact of a randomized intervention that corrects students’ under- and overconfidence by informing them of their real rank in the grade distribution. The intervention fully offsets the impact of under- and overconfidence for college applications. Providing feedback also makes the best students\, who were initially underconfident\, apply to more ambitious programs with stronger effects for female and low-SES students. Among top students\, our intervention closes 72% of the gender gap in admissions to elite programs\, and 95% of the social gap. We conclude that confidence is an important behavioral consideration for the design of college admission markets.\n \nCamille’s latest research and the working paper for this talk are here: https://sites.google.com/view/camilleterrier/accueil

SUMMARY:ROSES Seminar by Dmitry Dagaev (HSE University & NES)
DESCRIPTION:Our 140th Reading Online Sport Economics Seminar meets at 2:30pm UK time\, 9:30am Eastern United States Time\, 3:30pm Central European Time\, and on Teams. \nTitle: Compatriot bias in football: Are non-experts subjective? \nAbstract: The paper explores the phenomenon of compatriot bias in non-experts’ comments by utilizing data from the FIFA video game\, which incorporates crowd-sourced player ratings. We compare the sentiments expressed by compatriots and non-compatriots in the comments section\, approximating the nationality of commenters based on their IP addresses. According to our results\, compatriots had positive sentiment but for popular players it is lower compared to less popular. This suggests that the size of the compatriot bias depends on player popularity. We provide a theoretical background in the Hotteling-Downs framework to explain the latter effect. Results of this analysis helps to understand the reliability of crowd-sourced player skill estimates and uncover potential nationality-based favoritism among non-experts.

SUMMARY:ROSES Seminar by Michael Jetter (University of Western Australia)
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 2:30pm UK time\, 9:30am Eastern United States Time\, 3:30pm Central European Time\, and 9:30pm in Perth\, Australia\, as we meet on Teams for the 139th Reading Online Sport Economics Seminar. \nTitle: “Peacefully Demobilizing Rebels: Identity\, Emotional Cues\, and the FARC” \nAbstract: In the early 2000s\, the Colombian government aired messages during games of the national football team\, urging FARC rebels to demobilize. We first study the strategy’s effectiveness\, leveraging game dates\, kick-off times\, and spatial-temporal variation in rain-induced signal strength in a municipality-day-level panel spanning 2003-2016. Over 1\,000 rebels demobilized because of family-themed (but not national-unity-themed) messages\, received during unexpected losses (i.e.\, negative emotional cues). We then model a rebel’s demobilization decision\, combining identity salience with their emotional state. Finally\, we corroborate the model’s predictions examining family- versus non-family-specific holidays and local climatic anomalies.

SUMMARY:Symposium: New work on enclosure in Britain\, c. 1700-1850
DESCRIPTION:Symposium: New work on enclosure in Britain\, c. 1700-1850 \nWhen: Friday\, 26 May 2023\, 10:30am-4pm (in-person only)\nWhere: Room G10\, Henley Business School\, Whiteknights Campus\, University of Reading\nAttendance is free\nRegistration is required\nEarly registration is encouraged\, as spaces are limited (please fill in the form below)\nDeadline to register: Sunday\, 21 May 2023 \nSummary \nEnclosure is a fundamental process. It is both a simplification of property ownership and a reorganisation of the landscape. Most land in Britain – the uplands apart – has gone through some form of enclosure at some time but the date at which it took place\, and the institutional forms that enclosure took\, vary enormously from place to place. \nEnclosure as a process has largely come to an end. Our understanding of the institutional and legal forms it took\, the motives which drove enclosure and its consequences – actual and perceived – are far from perfect. At this meeting we present five papers which give a sense of the state of enclosure studies in Britain at this time and the challenges which remain for historians. \nProgramme \n10.30 ​Coffee and registration \n10.45​ Welcome (Professor Richard Hoyle) \n11.00​ Paper One: The motives for parliamentary enclosure (Dr. David Brown) \n11.45​ Paper Two: The surveys of enclosure of 1800-01 (Professor Richard Hoyle) \n12.30​ Lunch \n13.30 ​Paper Three: ‘The result never quite equalled the promise’: risk\, reward\, and reclamation on Exmoor\, 1840-1897’ (Professor Henry French) \n14.15​ Paper Four: Agrarian reform in a lowland Scottish barony: evolutionary or structural change? (Iain Kirkman) \n15.00​ Paper Five: Encroachment: a form of illicit enclosure? (Professor Carl Griffin) \n15.45 Concluding comments and discussion (Professor Mark Casson)
