Welcome to the Brown Bag Seminar in Economics organized by the Department of Economics, SSE. The seminar speaker is Lars Vilhuber, Cornell University, presenting “Reproducibility in the Social Sciences: Lessons learned for students, researchers, and institutions from 1,000 articles”.

Department of Economics welcomes you to a seminar with Stephane Bonhomme, University of Chicago,who will present "Estimating Individual Responses when Tomorrow Matters". We study empirical decision rules that depend not only on current covariates, but also on the process of covariates. In a model of agricultural production, we show how to estimate the impact of changes in today’s weather and expectations about tomorrow’s weather, thus accounting for the possibility of adaptation

Department of Economics welcomes you to a seminar with Luca Repetto, Uppsala University, who will present “Scars of War: the local legacy of WW1 deaths across generations of British Soldiers.” We study the local legacy of the WW1 mortality shock and its effects on British soldiers' behaviour in WW2. Using parish-level data, we show that those places suffering more losses in WW1 also experienced more deaths in WW2. We present further evidence that the legacy of the Great War may run through and be amplified by a civic capital channel that is fostered by the process of the remembrance and commemoration of fallen soldiers.

This “campfire” event welcomed entrepreneurship scholars from within Sweden but also those with whom we are connected, invited us to come together and celebrate Sweden’s success in entrepreneurship scholarship while looking at how we can continue moving forward to build a global and sustainable future.

We invited design students interested in doing a Master degree to the launch event for this year's Michael Treschow Scholarship.

Department of Economics welcomes you to a seminar with Clementine Van Effentere, University of Toronto, presenting "Does Better Information Reduce Gender Discrimination in the Technology Industry?” In spite of the large literature documenting discrimination in various contexts, we know little about the impact of providing additional objective information about candidates’ abilities on gender differences in labor market outcomes. We study this question by leveraging data on over 60,000 online interviews for soft- ware developers, combined with the quasi-random introduction of a device providing an objective measure of candidates’ coding and problem solving performance. We provide suggestive evidence that for a given objective performance, women receive lower subjective ratings than men.
