Nineteenth World Congress Programme nineteenth world congress 2 0 2 1 Virtual 2-6 July programme organized by: With the support of: WELCOME MESSAGE The 19th World Congress of the International Economic Association was to be held in Bali, Indonesia in July 2020. But these are unusual times, and the pandemic has forced us to postpone it to July 2021, and to hold it online and in abbreviated form. Nevertheless, we hope we have managed to put together an interesting program and look forward to your participation. Plenary sessions and a selection of invited sessions will be held online by Zoom between July 2-6, 2021, while other invited sessions and contributed papers will be recorded in advance and uploaded to the congress website. The IEA’s World Congress is one of the largest gatherings of its kind and brings people from all over the world to discuss their research and policy issues of mutual concern and to address and debate the big economic and policy challenges of our time. We expect vibrant discussion as usual, and engagement with new ideas in the coming days. The IEA relies on global cooperation for its success. We are deeply thankful to the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia and in particular to Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani Indrawati who offered to host the original Congress in Bali and have contributed significantly to the realization of the online version. We are hugely appreciative of the tireless work of the members of the program committee, whose names appear on page 2. We are also extremely grateful to Andrea Cavallo, the IEA’s manager and Congress supremo, who has played a pivotal role throughout. The program committee has helped in the selection of papers and organization of sessions along with a range of partner organizations – we are grateful to all of them. The Congress would not have been possible without generous sponsorship. We would like to thank the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and Bloomberg. Every economic crisis calls for change in the economics profession and for new thinking. This was true after the global financial crisis, and it is even more true after the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on health and livelihoods around the world. We hope the world pulls out of the pandemic quickly. Greater availability of vaccines and their distribution in poor nations will be critical for that. But even with the pandemic behind us, the economic scars on labor markets in advanced nations and the reversal in developmental gains in poor countries will remain with us. And they are likely to exert a long shadow on the future. Economics is responding to the challenges of our time. Environmental sustainability, inequalities of gender, race, incomes, the rise of authoritarian populism, and the reform of globalization are all centrally on the agenda of the profession. New areas such as behavioral economics, political economy, and the economics of culture continue to develop alongside more traditional fields of the discipline. The IEA has always stood for a combination of relevance and rigor. And we have stood for diversity both in terms of perspectives on economic problems and the representation of participants. The Congress is an opportunity for elevating ongoing discussions and debates within Economics onto a truly global stage. Our aim is to represent the global economics profession in all of its dimensions. We continue to find new members keen to join in this global project and we are welcoming Colegio de Ciencias Económicas de Tamaulipas A.C. (Mexico), Economics Association of Zambia (EAZ) and Global Labor Organization (GLO) to their first World Congress as members. But we do not take our loyal existing members for granted, and we are grateful for their continuing support, recognizing that there is a role for a global federation of economics’ associations. The next World Congress is scheduled for 2023 when we look forward to welcoming you back and Elhanan Helpman will be taking over as President. We wish you an enjoyable and intellectually rewarding Congress.

  • Contracts As Reference Points*
    CONTRACTS AS REFERENCE POINTS* Oliver Hart and John Moore July 2006, revised March 2007 We argue that a contract provides a reference point for a trading relationship: more precisely, for parties’ feelings of entitlement. A party’s ex post performance depends on whether he gets what he is entitled to relative to outcomes permitted by the contract. A party who is shortchanged shades on performance. A flexible contract allows parties to adjust their outcome to uncertainty, but causes inefficient shading. Our analysis provides a basis for long-term contracts in the absence of noncontractible investments, and elucidates why “employment” contracts, which fix wage in advance and allow the employer to choose the task, can be optimal. * An early version of this paper was entitled “Partial Contracts.” We are particularly indebted to Andrei Shleifer and Jeremy Stein for useful comments and for urging us to develop Section V. We would also like to thank Philippe Aghion, Jennifer Arlen, Daniel Benjamin, Omri Ben- Shahar, Richard Craswell, Stefano Della Vigna, Tore Ellingsen, Florian Englmaier, Edward Glaeser, Elhanan Helpman, Ben Hermalin, Louis Kaplow, Emir Kamenica, Henrik Lando, Steve Leider, Jon Levin, Bentley MacLeod, Ulrike Malmendier, Sendhil Mullainathan, Al Roth, Jozsef Sakovics, Klaus Schmidt, Jonathan Thomas, Jean Tirole, Joel Watson, Birger Wernerfelt, two editors and three referees for helpful suggestions.

John Nash During the past two decades non-cooperative game theory has become a central topic in economic theory. Many scholars have contributed to this revolution, none more than John Nash. Following the publication of von Neumann and Morgenstern's book, it was Nash's papers in the early fifties that pointed the way for future research in game theory. The notion of Nash equilibrium is indispensable. Nash's formulation of the bargaining problem and the Nash bargaining solution constitute the cornerstone of modern bargaining theory. His insights into the non-cooperative foundations of cooperative game theory initiated an area of research known as the Nash program. His analysis of the demand game, in which he uses a perturbation of a game to select an equilibrium, inspired the construction of several refinements of the notion of Nash equilibrium. A scholar's influence does not necessarily qualify him for a Nobel prize. One may argue that such awards are a social institution established to serve social goals.
