| 05/11/2020 | Secular Stagnation, Low Interest Rates and Low Inflation: Causes and Implications for Policy, Brussels | ||
Organizers: Robert Kollmann |
|||
The spread of the coronavirus has resulted in many events around the world being cancelled, postponed or reformatted to allow for remote participation. Please note that CEPR is monitoring developments very carefully and liaising with all conference organisers regarding the best course of action to take for each event. If you are applying for or scheduled to attend one of our events, please look out for direct communications regarding your event from each organiser. If you have not yet received any specific advice we recommend that you hold off making any travel arrangements until further information has been given. DG ECFIN at the European Commission is organising a conference on the theme 'Secular Stagnation, Low Interest Rates and Low Inflation: Causes and Implications for Policy' in cooperation with the Centre for Economic Policy Research (CEPR) and the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control. The conference will be held at the European Commission (Brussels), on 5-6 November 2020. Slow growth, low interest rates and low inflation relative to emerging markets characterize the macroeconomic environment in the Euro Area and other advanced economies. This economic landscape raises the fear that, absent policy intervention, advanced economies will face continued stagnation. Going forward, policymakers need to assess the underlying sources, and formulate macroeconomic policy appropriately. This conference will contribute to this debate and shed light on key policy questions: Which factors explain low growth and low rates? Why has inflation remained below the ECB's target, despite accommodative monetary policy? To what extent do catch-up growth and high savings rates in emerging markets contribute to the observed dynamics?
The conference will bring together researchers and policymakers to discuss innovative research in these areas. We would like to include both empirical and theoretical papers. A non-exhaustive list of topics includes:
The program will include 14 papers. There will be a discussant for each paper. Günter Coenen (ECB), Giancarlo Corsetti (Cambridge and CEPR), Gauti Eggertsson (Brown), Luca Fornaro (CREI and CEPR), Jordi Galí (CREI and CEPR) and Felix Kubler (Zurich) have already accepted to present their work at the conference. Selected papers presented at the conference will be considered for a special issue of the Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control (JEDC) titled "Secular Stagnation, Low Interest Rates and Low Inflation: Causes and Implications for Policy". Authors submitting a paper are asked to indicate whether they wish their paper to be considered for the special issue. The special issue will be edited by the scientific committee of the conference. Papers will be refereed according to usual JEDC standards. However, the editors will expedite the editorial process and aim to make final acceptance decisions by the summer of 2021. Authors are thus strongly encouraged to present papers that are already relatively complete and polished, at the conference. The DEADLINE for submitting papers is 15 June 2020. To submit a paper, please email a draft or extended abstract of the paper in PDF format to: [email protected]. Preference will be given to completed papers and to detailed drafts. The selected contributors will be notified by 15 July 2020. Workshop attendance is by invitation only. Contact & questions: R. Kollmann, [email protected]. Travel and hotel expenses of academic authors and discussants will be reimbursed as follows (economy class): 450 EUR for participants based in Europe; 1500$ for travel from US/Canada East Coast; 2000$ for travel from US/Canada West Coast and Asia/Australasia. Hotel expenses of authors and discussants based at policy institutions will also be covered by the organisers (please contact the conference organisers, if no travel funds from home institutions are available).

| 09/11/2020 | CEPR International Virtual Organization Economics Seminars - Seminar 7 - The Dynamics of Norm Formation and Norm Decay, Online Seminar | ||
Organizers: Oriana Bandiera, Morten Bennedsen, Wouter Dessein, Maria Guadalupe, Niko Matouschek, Andrea Prat, Raffaella Sadun, Kathryn Shaw and John Van Reenen |
|||
| The CEPR International Virtual Organization Economics Seminars (CIVOE-Seminars) is aimed at drawing together organizational economics and personnel economics speakers during this time when our university and NBER conferences are occurring less frequently. We are also taking the opportunity to make this a truly international collection of colleagues and speakers. We will meet via a webinar monthly on Mondays at 6pm CET. Further details about CIVOE can be found here: https://sites.google.com/view/cepr-ivoes. Please note that our seventh CIVOE seminar will now be taking place on Monday 9 November 2020 at 6pm CET / 5pm London / 12pm East Coast / 11am Chicago / 9am West Coast. Please remember to update your diary with the new date for this seminar. Our speaker will be Ernst Fehr (University of Zurich and CEPR) presenting on “The Dynamics of Norm Formation and Norm Decay” with Ivo Schurtenberger. Title: The Dynamics of Norm Formation and Norm Decay Authors: Ernst Fehr & Ivo Schurtenberger, University of Zurich Extended Abstract: Social norms are a ubiquitous feature of social life and appear to pervade almost every aspect of human social interaction. They are commonly known standards of behavior that are based on widely shared views of how individual group members ought to behave. However, despite their omnipresence fundamental questions related to social norms lack convincing answers: How and when do normative standards of behavior emerge? How are they maintained and when do they decay? Do social norms activate intrinsic motivations to comply with them and are these motivations sufficient to ensure compliance? Do norms exert an independent causal effect on behavior or are they simply an epiphenomenon of the web of prevailing incentives and institutions? Do norm violations undermine or change the normative standard and the extent to which it is widely shared? Do normative standards also affect their own enforcement? Do they affect the behavioral responses to norm enforcement behaviors? Progress in answering these questions has been severely retarded by a lack of directly observable “high-frequency” measures of normative behavioral standards that assume the properties of social norms. Here, we develop and validate such a measure in the context of an experimental collective action problemand show how it helps to answer the above mentioned questions. We show, in particular, that widely shared normative standards do trigger compliance motives and increase participation in normatively required collective action. However, the strength and nature of the compliance motives are insufficient to ensure maintenance of social norms. In fact, in the absence of explicit opportunities for sanctioning norm violators, norms eventually lose any behavioral drawing power: initial norm violations are not sanctioned and are associated with (i) further increases in norm violations, (ii) a steady decay in the normative standard and (iii) a break-down of the normative consensus. The provision of voluntary sanctioning opportunities, however, not only blocks all three above mentioned processes but also causes an increase in the normative consensus and leads to the stable maintenance of a social norm. Finally, we vary the opportunity for the formation of social norms exogenously and document that – when peer sanctioning is possible – social norms exert a causal impact by increasing the overall participation in collective action while simultaneously reducing the sanctioning of those who don’t participate. In other words, social norms render the establishment and enforcement of collective action more efficient. Further Reading: Behavioral Foundations of Corporate Culture is a popular piece written by Ernst Fehr (University of Zurich) that applies the ideas to the organizational context and to the problem of creating a cooperative corporate culture.

Organizers: Ariell Reshef and Farid Toubal |
|||
| The third conference on “Globalization, Technology and Firms: Labor Market Outcomes” focuses this year on the roles of globalisation, technology and labour market regulation on growth and labour market outcomes. Most economic activity in advanced economies is organised within and between firms. Therefore, changes in types of firms, their internal organisation and in firms’ market and employment shares over time are important factors that drive structural change and changes in the labour income distribution. The objective of the webinar is to discuss recent contributions to the understanding of the rapid structural change experienced by most advanced economies recently. This conference will take place online, to view the programme, please click on https://cepr.org/2524. Register in advance for this webinar by clicking on https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_XSWWA3XURves-NKaI4Tc_g.

Young Scholars Matchmaking Workshop 2020 - Call for IdeasThe Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) programme pursues a research agenda that aims to better understand what determines the strength of market forces driving efficiency in low-income countries (LICs).
To strengthen the links between young scholars in higher- and lower-income countries working in this rapidly growing field of research, the PEDL programme is organising a virtual matchmaking and project development workshop. This workshop aims to bring together pre-dissertation PhD candidates from institutions in higher-income countries with PhD candidates and young scholars from institutions in lower-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Young scholars should be no more than three years out of their PhD. Over the course of two weeks, we will gather for three days with the aim of fostering new ideas and developing projects, grant proposals, and, importantly, collaborations across these groups for research on the frontier of private enterprise development in Africa and South Asia. The workshop will begin with a keynote highlighting open questions and opportunities for possible contributions. Participants will then come together for an Ideas Fair, where they will pitch research interests and ideas that are open to collaboration. Based on this initial meeting, participants will be grouped according to their interests and, with the support of workshop leaders, work together to identify, develop and present joint projects, possibly leading to grant proposals fundable by PEDL or other organisations. The best ideas can be presented at the PEDL Young Scholars Conference 2020, where teams will be able to receive feedback from senior scholars in the field. Those interested in participating should download and complete the application form and prepare a brief letter of motivation and an up-to-date version of their CV. The application form will ask candidates to clearly state the research question(s), potential methods to answer the question, and the geographic focus of the project. The ideas that you present in the application form should be ones which you are open to collaborating on with other workshop participants. PhD candidates should also arrange to have a letter of support from their dissertation supervisor sent to us. To submit your application, please compile the following three documents into one PDF document: the completed application form, a letter of motivation and an up-to-date version of your CV. Please upload this PDF to the CEPR Portal here by October 30, 2020 23:59 GMT. On the Portal, you will need to create an account here to submit an application. Once logged in, you can find the PEDL Workshop 2020 page via the link here. To upload your collated PDF, check the box where it asks, “Would you like to submit a paper?” and a new option will appear to upload your document. Please use “Workshop Application” as title and abstract and ignore other sections such as co-authors. We aim to inform accepted applicants by mid-November 2020. Any queries about the event or application process can be sent to [email protected]. Letters of support should also be sent directly to [email protected]. Applicants that are selected to participate in the Young Scholars Workshop 2020 are also invited to attend the PEDL Young Scholars Conference 2020. An application to present at the Conference does not preclude an application to the Workshop or vice versa.
