Department of Economics welcomes you to a seminar with Peter Hull, Brown University, presenting "Non-Random Exposure to Exogenous Shocks". We develop a new approach to estimating the causal effects of treatments or instruments that combine multiple sources of variation according to a known formula, and use this approach to address bias when estimating employment effects of market access growth from Chinese high-speed rail construction.

Misum is delighted to host Professor Leonard Wantchekon from Princeton University who will give a special guest lecture at the Stockholm School of Economics.

Emil Bustos defends his PhD dissertation “Essays on Firms' Hiring, Investment and Risk Management Decisions” on May 10, 2022.

Welcome to the Brown Bag Seminar in Economics organized by the Department of Economics, SSE. The seminar speaker is Petter Berg, SSE, presenting "Test based accountability in developing countries".

On 9 May, Mistra Center for Sustainable Markets (Misum) is hosting a seminar on the forthcoming April 2022 World Economic Outlook (WEO) chapter: “A Greener Labor Market: Employment, Policies, and Economic Transformation”. Niels-Jakob H. Hansen, Economist at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) working on the WEO, will join us to present key findings from the chapter.

Associate Professor Daniel Pittino from Jönköping International Business School presented a paper on how founder’s identity hybridity can foster radical innovation in technology based new ventures.

Department of Economics welcomes you to a seminar with Christopher Neilson, Princeton University, presenting "Teacher Compensation and Structural Inequality: Evidence from Centralized Teacher School Choice in Peru." This paper studies how increasing teacher compensation at hard-to-staff schools can reduce inequality in the access to high-quality teachers. Counterfactual experiments taking into account equilibrium sorting show that budget-neutral changes in the current wage schedule can achieve a remarkably more equitable distribution of teacher quality across regions.

Welcome to the Brown Bag Seminar in Economics organized by the Department of Economics, SSE. The seminar speaker is Savreen Kaur Nanda, SSE, presenting “A credible bargaining experiment”. Participants endogenously generate a joint surplus by undertaking a real effort task, whose output is presumably useful to the experimenter independent of the bargaining data. I apply a 2X3 experiment design on this subjective claims paradigm.

Understanding the linkages and resolving the tradeoffs between the climate and environment, social dimensions, and governance challenges in sustainable development.

Department of Economics welcomes you to a seminar with Hamish Low, University of Oxford, who will present "Fertility and Family Labor Supply". We study the importance of fertility adjustments for labor market responsiveness of men and women using longitudinal Danish register data and tax reforms. We estimate a life-cycle model of family labor supply in which couples choose the timing and number of children, which also replicates the asymmetric fertility adjustments.
