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: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
