Seminar: Muthoni Nganga (University of Victoria)

Part of the Joint Seminars in Development Economics seminars series, Hosted by Jason Kerwin Title: Participatory Rangeland Management and (Experimental) Collective Action Among Kenyan Pastoralists Authors: Muthoni Nganga, Colter Hoffman, Jackson Idi Mdoe, Eric Kioko, and Travis J Lybbert Abstract: We evaluate whether participatory rangeland management (PRM), an intermediary aimed at helping pastoralist communities to manage their resources including grazing lands, has shaped the collective action behavior of individuals in target communities. We evaluate this using public goods games where participants decide how to allocate days between communal and private activities. Participants are ran domly selected from villages exposed to PRM and nearby unexposed villages. Contributions to collective activities are negatively associated with PRM exposure when participants are grouped with strangers, but this relationship disappears when those in experiment groups know each other. We find no evidence that PRM… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Savery Hall (SAV). Campus room: SAV 410. Accessibility Contact: econdept@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars.

Title: "On Unanimity Bargaining with Commitment" by Ziqi Hang and Quan Wen Abstract: We study a multilateral bargaining game in which players can attempt short-lived commitments before bargaining. Existing work shows that simultaneous commitments under unanimity lead to inefficient delayed agreements due to players' strategic over-commitments. We show that this inefficiency is not inherent in unanimity itself, but arises from a coordination failure caused by the timing of simultaneous commitments. We introduce a sequential commitment protocol: Players are randomly ordered to make their commitment attempts after observing prior stochastic commitments, modeling real-time credibility updating during negotiations. Sequential commitment yields efficient and immediate agreements in the unique stationary Markov-perfect equilibrium: The first successful committer effectively becomes the proposer, while subsequent players do not attempt to demand more than their continuation payoffs. The result is robust to heterogen… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Savery Hall (SAV). Campus room: SAV 410. Accessibility Contact: econdept@uw.edu. Event Types: Lectures/Seminars.

Seminar: Santanu Roy (SMU)

Part of the Microeconomics Seminar Series, hosted by Fahad Khalil Title: Bilateral Learning Before Trading? Abstract: A buyer and a seller can privately learn the quality of an asset - initially unknown to both - by incurring a fixed cost before trading. Asset quality determines their valuations and the seller makes a take-it-or-leave-it price offer. Under a weak "lemons-like" condition, asymmetric information arises endogenously when learning costs are small; as these costs vanish, the seller learns for sure but the buyer remains uninformed with probability bounded away from zero. Nevertheless, efficient limiting equilibria always exist; the buyer earns strictly positive surplus in such an equilibrium if, and only if, she can learn after knowing the price offer.

Economics Prospective Student Info Session

Students who study economics learn to decode the systems that are a part of our everyday lives using models and a variety of social and economic data to analyze how decisions are made, and how limited resources are made, traded, and used. In this session, students will learn helpful information about the Department of Economics Undergraduate Program and its Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science majors. Students will also have an opportunity to meet with Department of Economics advisers, and get helpful tips on pursuing Economics as a major at the UW.

Seminar: Eduardo Morales (Princeton)

Part of the Macroeconomics and International Economics Seminars Series, Hosted by Brian Greaney  Title: "Market Entry and Plant Location in Multi-Product Firms" (joint with Juanma Castro-Vincenzi, Eugenia Menaguale, and Alejandro Sabal), Abstract: "Multinational firms offer diverse products across countries due to variation in consumer tastes and production costs. Cannibalization forces further influence product variety. Using car-industry data, we estimate a quantitative model in which manufacturers decide where to produce and sell their products, featuring complementarities and substitutabilities across choices due to cannibalization, returns to scale and transport cost-savings. We provide a new algorithm to solve this class of combinatorial discrete choice problems. We examine the impact of demand and supply factors on product variety and study the effect of country-specific subsidies on global production, market offerings, and prices. Counterfactuals highlight the relevance of interdependencies and… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Savery Hall (SAV). Campus room: SAV 410. Accessibility Contact: econdept@uw.edu.

Seminar: Kirill Boruysak (Berkeley)

Part of the Econometrics Seminar Series, Hosted by Jackson Bunting Title: Regression Discontinuity Aggregation, with an Application to Union Effects on Inequality (with Matan Kolerman-Shemer and Lihua Lei) Abstract: We extend the regression discontinuity (RD) design to settings where each unit’s treatment status is an average or aggregate across multiple discontinuity events. Such situations arise in many studies where the outcome is measured at a higher level of spatial or temporal aggregation (e.g. by state with district-level discontinuities) or when spillovers from discontinuity events are of interest. We propose two novel estimation procedures — one at the level at which the outcome is measured and the other in the sample of RD events — and show that both identify a local average causal effect and possess attractive bias-variance properties under continuity assumptions similar to those of standard RD designs. We apply these ideas to study the effect of unionization on inequality in the United States.… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Savery Hall (SAV). Campus room: SAV 410.
