Welcome to Brown Bag Seminar in Economics organised by the Department of Economics, SSE. The seminar speaker is Pau Juan Bartroli, Toulouse School of Economics (ENTER), presenting "A theory of the origin of injunctive norms".

Seminar in Economics | Estimating Individual Responses when Tomorrow Matters with Stephane Bonhomme

8/31/2022, 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM
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

Seminar in Economics | Scars of War: the local legacy of WW1 deaths across generations of British Soldiers with Luca Repetto

6/15/2022, 3:30 PM - 4:45 PM
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.
