We have an exciting program for this year’s meeting. Modern economics takes on the methodological challenges posed by the recent difficulties observed in many countries, and the program clearly reflects this. New issues of financial market interaction, housing markets, and international default receive highest public attention, together with such traditional topics as monetary policy, international trade, and the business cycle consequences for consumption and employment. Among other topics, all of these are a central part of this conference. We had the opportunity to select 433 papers for this program covering all areas of economics, as well as to invite plenary addresses from Robert Barro (Harvard), Douglas Gale (NYU), and John Kennan (Wisconsin). We had a record 1416 submissions and space limitations unfortunately meant that a number of fine papers did not make it onto the program. Your continuing enthusiasm has been crucial for the success of this conference! And so has the guidance by its past presidents: Tom Sargent, Ed Prescott, Dale Mortensen, Tom Cooley, Boyan Jovanovic, and David Levine. Putting together such a large program is only possible with the support of a strong group, and we thank the 40‐member committee for selecting papers timely and conscientiously. A particular thanks goes to the local organizers Robert Kollmann, Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh, and Gert Peersman who made all of this possible. Our officers Ellen McGrattan (Treasurer) and Christian Zimmermann (Secretary) also played a significant role. The costs of setting up such a meeting become obvious from its scale, and we gratefully acknowledge the support of our sponsors. Have a good and intellectually stimulating time! Enjoy the conference and Ghent! With very best wishes, Cristina Arellano, Philipp Kircher, and Richard Rogerson 3 SED 2011 | Society for Economic Dynamics Program Committee Members Program Chairs Cristina Arellano (Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis) Philipp Kircher (London School of Economics) Committee Manuel Amador (Stanford Univ.)

For example, today, more than 700 million people subsist on extremely low incomes. Every year, five million children under five die of diseases that often could have been prevented or treated by a handful of proven interventions. Today, a large majority of children in low- and middle-income countries attend primary school, but many of them leave school lacking proficiency in reading, writing and mathematics. How to effectively reduce global poverty remains one of humankind’s most pressing questions. It is also one of the biggest questions facing the discipline of economics since its very inception.

Policy Distortions and Aggregate Productivity with Heterogeneous Plants Diego Restuccia and Richard Rogerson NBER Working Paper No. 13018 April 2007 JEL No. E2,O1 ABSTRACT We formulate a version of the growth model in which production is carried out by heterogeneous plants and calibrate it to US data. In the context of this model we argue that differences in the allocation of resources across heterogeneous plants may be an important factor in accounting for cross-country differences in output per capita. In particular, we show that policies which create heterogeneity in the prices faced by individual producers can lead to sizeable decreases in output and measured TFP in the range of 30 to 50 percent.

  • Escaping the Climate Trap? Values, Technologies, and Politics∗
    Escaping the Climate Trap? Values, Technologies, and Politics Tim Besleyyand Torsten Perssonz November 2020 Abstract It is widely acknowledged that reducing the emissions of green- house gases is almost impossible without radical changes in consump- tion and production patterns. This paper examines the interdependent roles of changing environmental values, changing technologies, and the politics of environmental policy, in creating sustainable societal change. Complementarities that emerge naturally in our framework may generate a “climate trap,”where society does not transit towards lifestyles and technologies that are more friendly to the environment. We discuss a variety of forces that make the climate trap more or less avoidable, including lobbying by firms, private politics, motivated scientists, and (endogenous) subsidies to green innovation. We are grateful for perceptive comments by Philippe Aghion, David Baron, Xavier Jaravel, Bård Harstad, Elhanan Helpman, Gilat Levy, Linus Mattauch, and Jean Tirole, as well as participants in a Tsinghua University seminar, and LSE and Hong Kong University webinars. We also thank Azhar Hussain for research assistance. Financial support from the ERC and the Swedish Research Council is gratefully acknowledged. yLSE, [email protected]. zIIES, Stockholm University, [email protected] 1 1 Introduction What will it take to bring about the fourth industrial revolution that may be needed to save the planet? Such a revolution would require major structural changes in production as well as consumption patterns. Firms would have to invest on a large scale in technologies that generate lower greenhouse gas emissions, and households would have to consume goods that produce lower emissions. Already these observations suggest that the required transformation can be reinforced by a key complementarity, akin to the one associated with so- called platform technologies (Rochet and Tirole 2003).

  • Endogenous Preferences: the Political Consequences of Economic Institutions
    Endogenous Preferences: The Political Consequences of Economic Institutions Jan-Emmanuel De Neve∗y November 5, 2009 Abstract This paper attempts to explain cross-national voting behavior in 18 West- ern democracies over 1960-2003. A new data set for the median voter is intro- duced that corrects for stochastic error in the statistics from the Comparative Manifesto Project. Next, the paper finds that electoral behavior is closely re- lated to the salience of particular economic institutions. Labour organization, skill specificity, and public sector employment are found to influence individual voting behavior. At the country level, this paper suggests that coordinated market economies move the median voter to the left, whereas liberal market economies move the median voter to the right. The empirical analysis employs cross-sectional and panel data that are instrumented with the level of eco- nomic structure circa 1900 to estimate the net effect of economic institutions on the median voter. Significant results show that revealed voter preferences are endogenous to the economic institutions of the political economy. This paper places political economy at the heart of voting behavior and implies the existence of institutional advantages to partisan politics. Keywords: Comparative Political Economy, Median Voter, Voting Behav- ior, Panel Data, Instrumental Variables JEL Classification Numbers: C23, D72, H5, J24, J51, O57, P51 . ∗London School of Economics and Political Science, Department of Government, Houghton Street, London WC2A 2AE, United Kingdom (email: [email protected]). yFor their time and generous data sharing, the author would like to thank Simon Hix, Jonathan Hopkin, Peter Hall, Torben Iversen, Lane Kenworthy, Duane Swank, Daniel Gingerich, Pepper Culpepper, Piero Stanig, Slava Mikhaylov, Johannes Spinnewijn, and Richard Fording.

  • Employee Representation and Corporate Governance: a Missing Link
    EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATION AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: A MISSING LINK Sanford M. Jacobyt The publication of Freeman and Rogers' What Workers Want' is a major contribution to the debate over employee representation in America. The authors have answered the basic question of what workers and manag- ers want. Now we must reconsider how public policy can be designed to help these preferences be realized. Although Freeman and Rogers have on other occasions contributed ideas for closing the representation gap,2 the present study maintains a curious silence on solutions. Most of the recent policy proposals on employee representation at- tempt to tweak the National Labor Relations Act to permit greater experi- mentation with nonunion employee participation plans. For example, the so-called Dunlop Commission of the mid-1990s outlined the following four principal policy options, all of which focused on labor law: (1) to retain the law in its present form; (2) to revise section 8(a)(2) to permit employers to create employee involvement plans and even company unions, so long as they do not bargain collectively with the employer (the approach contained in the so-called TEAM Act); (3) to modify the TEAM approach to permit employers to establish employee involvement plans but require that they meet certain standards for employee selection, access to information, and protection against reprisals; and (4) to legally require the establishment of employee participation committees,3 as in the plan put forth in 1990 by Professor Paul Weiler to require every company above a certain size to es- tablish elected committees to address the firm's human resource policies t Professor of Management, Policy Studies and History, UCLA; A.B.

Artificial Intelligence and Economic Growth Philippe Aghion, Benjamin F. Jones, and Charles I. Jones NBER Working Paper No. 23928 October 2017 JEL No. O3,O4 ABSTRACT This paper examines the potential impact of artificial intelligence (A.I.) on economic growth. We model A.I. as the latest form of automation, a broader process dating back more than 200 years. Electricity, internal combustion engines, and semiconductors facilitated automation in the last century, but A.I. now seems poised to automate many tasks once thought to be out of reach, from driving cars to making medical recommendations and beyond.
