Mardi | 2016-04-19 Sully05 de 16h à 17h20 Pierre-Guillaume MEON Using two surveys, we study how respondents process visual cues to identify the political orientation (left- vs. right-wing) of French deputies, based on their official photographs only, to test the type of heuristic that they use. We first confirm that respondents outperform random guesses. Second, we find that their categorizations correlate with observable characteristics (gender, color of the tie, jewelry) and subjective assessments of deputies’ personality traits (attractiveness, competence, trustworthiness). […]

Mardi | 2016-04-05 17h00-18h10 Sully05 Sebastian SCHICH – Oana TOADER Recent regulatory reform efforts are squarely focusing on eliminating the notion that large and potentially systemic banks are “special”, and ensuring effective resolution of G-SIBs is a key element of the FSB agenda to end “too-big-to-fail”. The paper assesses progress in this regard, using as a measure estimates of the value of implicit guarantees for a sample of 27 G-SIBs and 177 other large banks from 23 countries from 2007 […]

Mardi | 2016-03-29 Sully05 de 16h à 17h20 Anna SIMONI – Siddhartha CHIB – Minchul SHIN In this paper we consider the problem of inference in statistical models characterized via moment restrictions and develop a semiparametric Bayes procedure for selecting valid and relevant moments. We cast the moment estimation problem in the Exponentially Tilted Empirical Likelihood (ETEL) framework introduced by Schennach (2007). Because the ETEL has a well-defined probabilistic interpretation and plays the role of a likelihood, a fully Bayesian […]

Mardi | 2016-03-22 Sully05 de 16h à 17h20 Florian FIZAINE – Victore COURT In the present paper we relate the recent estimations of the historical (1800-2011) global EROI of fossil fuels production performed by Court and Fizaine (2015) to the tremendous increase in Gross World Production that the global economy has encountered during the same period. We first show that on this entire period of study, there is a power inverse relationship that exists between the average price of aggregated […]

The empirical results feature two robust patterns. Firstly, while the effects of exchange rate variations display a positive asymmetry (i.e., depreciations have a greater effect […]

Mardi | 2016-03-08 16-17h20 sully 05 Juan PAEZ-FARRELL The objective of this paper is to infer the policy preferences of three inflation targeting central banks, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, using an estimated New Keynesian small open economy model. While I assume that the monetary authorities optimise, I depart from previous research by assuming that monetary policy is implemented via simple Taylor-type rules, as suggested by most of the empirical literature. I then derive the weights in the objective function […]
