OTTAWA 2011 1 Premier of Ontario - Premier ministre de l’Ontario July 10 – 13, 2011 APERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to extend warm greetings to everyone attending Transforming Health and Economics: The 8th World Congress on Health Economics, hosted by the International Health Economics Association (IHEA). As Premier of Ontario, I understand the importance of health care economics and the need for supporting research and innovation in this field. With leading health eConomists and experts from over 70 countries sharing their ideas, I am confident that IHEA members will find this conference stimulating and thought-provoking. I commend your commitment to deepening the discussion of the important and timely issues raised at this year’s congress. If this is your first time in Toronto or if you are a returning visitor — I am pleased to welcome you to the provinCial Capital.

On behalf of the local organizing committee of the 8th World Congress of the International Health Economics Association, I welcome you to Toronto, a city that derived its name from a word in the local Huron dialect meaning “place of meetings.” So, it is appropriate that we are meeting together in an emerging world-class city. In thinking about the conference theme – Transforming Health and Economics – I can’t help but be struck the year in the West that the post World-War II “baby boom” begins to turn age 65. The issues surrounding this trend have been a major part of the literature for the last two decades. It is now time to begin to turn our attention 30 years into the future when the number of “boomers” begins to decrease, and issues regarding excess capacity and the need for retraining labor, among others, will predominate. the tremendous growth of our discipline has shown that we can collectively develop the tools and expertise necessary to investigate the potential implications of different strategies and insightfully inform policy. The iHEA meeting plays an important role in this regard since it provides a forum for debating ideas, building the attractions. Whether your interests lie in the arts, sports or nature, there are innumerable choices available. Toronto has experienced a cultural renaissance with recent expansions and renovations of the Royal Ontario Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. Toronto is also home to the Toronto Blue Jays major league baseball and Stratford, home of the Shakespeare festival, are all an easy drive from Toronto. volunteers in “iHEA shirts” for directions and for other information. We look forward to helping to make your meeting productive and your stay with us both memorable and enjoyable.

  • Competing for Talent
    COMPETING FOR TALENT By Yuhta Ishii, Aniko Öry, and Adrien Vigier February 2018 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 2119 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.yale.edu/ Competing for Talent Yuhta Ishii, Aniko Ory,¨ and Adrien Vigier∗ First Draft: August 2015 This Draft: February 2018 Abstract In many labor markets, e.g., for lawyers, consultants, MBA students, and professional sport players, workers get offered and sign long-term contracts even though waiting could reveal significant information about their capabilities. This phenomenon is called unraveling. We examine the link between wage bargaining and unraveling. Two firms, an incumbent and an entrant, compete to hire a worker of unknown talent. Informational frictions prevent the incumbent from always observing the entrant's arrival, inducing unraveling in all equilibria. We analyze the extent of unraveling, surplus shares, the average talent of employed workers, and the distribution of wages within and across firms. Keywords: Unraveling, Talent, Wage Bargaining, Competition, Uncertainty.

  • Impact of Trade on the Characteristics of the Digital Newspaper Market New Empirical Evidence from Francophone Africa
    Impact of Trade on the Characteristics of the Digital Newspaper Market New Empirical Evidence from Francophone Africa Anaïs Galdin May 22th, 2017 Abstract This paper provides a first empirical study of how openness to international trade in news products, a phenomenon largely facilitated by the digitalization of newspapers, may impact the characteristics of the information products available to consumers. Based on acasestudyoftheentryofFrenchmediafirmsinFrancophoneAfrica,webuildanew dataset of more than 800 000 newspaper articles over the period 2005 to 2017. Using text mining techniques, we construct a five-dimensional set of newspaper characteristics to qualitatively analyze newspaper data. Our evidences suggest that the entry of French digital newspapers, which produce a relatively low share of local news and whose websites are generally uniformly targeting all Francophone African countries, lead to a significant decrease of the diversity of subjects treated by Francophone African newspapers, charac- terized by a strong and significant increase of the share of local news, and a small decrease of the total number of articles related to France. We also find a slight but significant impact of the penetration of French digital newspapers on two indicators of newspaper format, namely a small increase of the average frequency of publication of Francophone African newspapers, and a very small decrease of the mean wordcount per articles. We believe the specific format of the news displayed on the web, generally significantly shorter than printed articles and with a higher publication rate, could explain the weakness of the effect on these two indicators.1 1I would like to thank my advisors, Julia CAGE and Thomas CHANEY, for their time, constructive discussions and invaluable advice.

  • Mathematical Economics at Cowles1
    Mathematical Economics at Cowles1 Gerard Debreu Presented at The Cowles Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration, June 3, 1983 Introduction The first fifty years of Cowles were a period of profound and far-reaching transformation in the field of mathematical economics. A few numbers help one to perceive the depth and the extent of the change that took place in the half-century just ended. Both Econometrica and The Review of Economic Studies began publication in 1933. The first volume of the former for the calendar year 1933 and the first volume of the latter for the academic year 1933–34, together, devoted 165 pages to articles contributing to mathematical economics, by a liberal definition of terms. According to a stricter definition, the corresponding number of pages for the year 1982 was close to 4,000 for the five main periodicals in the field (Econometrica, Review of Economic Studies, International Economic Review, Journal of Economic Theory, and Journal of Mathematical Economics). No less remarkable was the metamorphosis of the American Economic Review. Its entire volume for the year 1933 contained exactly four pages where any mathematical symbol appeared, and two of them were in the Book Review Section. In contrast, in 1982 only five of the fifty-two articles published by the A.E.R. were free from mathematical expressions. Still another index of the rapid growth of mathematical economics during that period can be found in the increase in membership of the Econometric Society, which went from 163 on January 1, 1932 to 2,987 in 1982. Having heeded the demanding motto “Science is Measurement,” under which the Cowles Commission worked for its first twenty years, we may look at non-quantifiable aspects of the development of mathematical economics from the early thirties to the present.

  • Four-Year Report, July 1992
    COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS AT YALE UNIVERSITY Four Year Report, July 1, 1992 – June 30, 1996 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 2. Research Personnel 3. The Library 4. Meetings 5. Publications 6. Other Publications by Research Staff 1. INTRODUCTION The Cowles Commission for Research in Economics was founded in 1932 by Alfred Cowles in collaboration with a group of econ- omists, mathematicians, and statisticians, all of whom were concerned with applying quantitative techniques to economics and related social sciences. As the original Articles of Incorporation explained, “said corporation is formed ... to educate and benefit its members and mankind, and to advance the scientific study and development ... of economic theory in its relation to mathematics and statistics.” The Cowles Commission was formally chartered as a not-for-profit corporation in Colorado on September 9, 1932. In 1939 it relocated to the University of Chicago and then, in 1955, moved to Yale University where it was renamed The Cowles Foundation for Research in Economics at Yale University. The Cowles Foundation today continues to pursue its basic mission of fostering the development of logical, mathematical, and statistical methods of analysis for application in economics and related social sciences. The field of economics has developed and changed dramatically over the last 60-plus years, since the Cowles Commission was founded. The changes, particularly as to the methods of analysis deployed, reflect in part the success of the Commission and similar research organizations in developing and disseminating new quantitative techniques. As economics has changed, so has the scope of inquiry at Cowles and the breadth of research interests of the research staff.
