Seminar: Ying Gao (UBC)

Part of the Microeconomics Seminar Series, hosted by Xu Tan Title: “Feedback in Selection Tournaments” Authors: Ying Gao, Nicole Immorlica, Brendan Lucier, and Markus Mobius Abstract: Managers in organizations have access to local, divisional information that allows for close comparison of related projects. We consider how this information can be incorporated in the design of meritocratic contests for selection and funding. Using a multi-agent cheap talk model, we ask what managers can truthfully report to a decision-maker or give as feedback to agents. A decision-maker who wants to efficiently allocate a prize while discouraging unnecessary effort should ask for reports of ordinal rankings to be used as nominations, and wishes to, but cannot, block communication of rankings to agents. When managers have richer, cardinal information but agents receive feedback about what was reported, we show that incentive constraints prevent the decision-maker who elicits that information from doing any better than in… Event interval: Single day event.

Seminar: Alfredo Burlando (University of Oregon)

Part of the Joint Seminars in Development Economics Series, Hosted by Alan Griffith and Jason Kerwin Title: Long-run behavior of rehabilitated delinquent borrowers: evidence from a fintech experiment  Abstract: Digital credit markets in low- and middle-income countries offer new pathways to financial inclusion but suffer from persistently high default rates. This paper examines the long-run effects of two light-touch interventions--payment plans and eligibility restoration notices--on the behavior of delinquent borrowers in a digital credit market in sub-Saharan Africa. Using a randomized controlled trial with delinquent mobile money borrowers, we find that a 30-day payment plan which breaks down the overdue payment into four installments has lasting effects on borrower behavior well beyond the intervention period. Borrowers assigned to the payment plan are approximately 2.5 percentage points less likely to be delinquent up to 300 days post-intervention, and increase their number of repayment installments… Event interval: Single day event.

Seminar: Alejandro Rojas-Bernal (University of Hawai'i at Manoa)

Part of the Macroeconomics and International Economics Seminars Series, Hosted by Yu-chin Chen and Ali Karimirad Title: Icarus and Daedalus: Non-Gaussian Size-Dependent Productivity and Aggregate Risk Abstract: How does productivity evolve at the microeconomic level, and how does that evolution shape macroeconomic risk? Using input and output quantities, we measure physical productivity growth. Size shapes non-Gaussian distributions and nonlinear dynamics. Larger producers exhibit sharper peaks and thicker tails, recover more strongly from losses, and retain more gains. We estimate a microeconomically disciplined, size-dependent, regime-switching law of motion capturing these distributional and dynamic facts. Aggregation yields higher kurtosis and thicker standardized tails than a Gaussian, raising the probability of technological recessions six times. Size determines whose shocks matter; size-conditioned productivity dynamics determine the aggregate risks they carry. Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Savery Hall (SAV).
