In this paper we refine the interpretation of the European two-dimensional political space and the investigation of its determinants compared to the approach commonly adopted in the spatial voting literature. Specifically, we take into account heterogeneity and cross-correlation among legislators by explicitly including into the model a spatial effect which, in turn, relies on new sets of linguistic, geographical, institutional and cultural metrics. We confirm that the first dimension of the European political space is mainly explained by the Members of European Parliament's ideological position on a left-right scale. We also find that correlation across legislators plays a significant role in explaining the first dimension when their pairwise distance is defined according to an individualism index, which turns out to be closely related to left-right ideology positioning. Even more interestingly, we show that "space" intended in a broad economic sense plays an important role in interpreting the second dimension of the political spectrum. The most relevant metric that induces spatial effects along the second dimension is based on an institutional index. Moreover, we also find that the second dimension is influenced by the gender composition of the political parties.
在本文中,我们细化了对欧洲二维政治空间的解释,并与空间投票文献中常用的方法相比,对其决定因素进行了调查。具体来说,我们考虑了立法者之间的异质性和相互关系,明确地将空间效应纳入模型,而空间效应又依赖于新的语言、地理、制度和文化指标。我们确认,欧洲政治空间的第一个维度主要由欧洲议会议员在左右尺度上的意识形态立场来解释。我们还发现,立法者之间的相关性在解释第一个维度时发挥了重要作用,当他们的成对距离根据个人主义指数定义时,这被证明与左右意识形态定位密切相关。更有趣的是,我们表明,广义经济意义上的“空间”在解释政治光谱的第二个维度时起着重要作用。在第二次元上诱导空间效应的最相关的度量是基于制度指数的。此外,我们还发现第二个维度受到政党性别构成的影响。

Subprime Mortgages and Banking in a DSGE Model DSGE模型中的次级抵押贷款和银行业
Pub Date : 2017-06-22 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2991333
Martino Ricci, P. Tirelli
Can a DSGE model replicate the financial crisis effects without assuming unprecedented and implausibly large shocks? Starting from the assumption that the subprime crisis triggered the financial crisis, we introduce balance-sheet effects for housing market borrowers and for commercial banks in an otherwise standard DSGE model. Our crisis experiment is initiated by a shock to subprime lending risk, which is calibrated to match the observed increase in subprime delinquency rates. Due to contagion of prime borrowers and to the ensuing adverse effect on banks balance sheets, this apparently small shock is sufficient to trigger a decline in housing investment comparable to what was observed during the financial crisis. The adverse effect of subprimers risk on commercial banks' agency problem is a crucial driver of our results.
DSGE模型能否在不假设出现前所未有且难以置信的巨大冲击的情况下,复制金融危机的影响?从次贷危机引发金融危机的假设出发,我们在一个标准的DSGE模型中引入了住房市场借款人和商业银行的资产负债表效应。我们的危机实验是由次级贷款风险的冲击引发的,它被校准为与观察到的次级贷款拖欠率的上升相匹配。由于优质借款人的蔓延以及随之而来的对银行资产负债表的不利影响,这一看似很小的冲击足以引发与金融危机期间所观察到的情况相当的住房投资下降。次级贷款风险对商业银行代理问题的不利影响是我们研究结果的关键驱动因素。

Life after Default: Private vs. Official Sovereign Debt Restructurings 违约后的生活:私人与官方主权债务重组
Pub Date : 2017-01-12 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3042568
S. Marchesi, T. Masi
This paper studies the relationship between sovereign debt default and annual GDP growth taking into account the depth of a debt restructuring and distinguishing between private and official deals, as well as between debt flow and stock reduction. Analyzing 520 restructuring episodes, over the period 1975-2013, we find that private and official defaults may have different growth outcomes. Most importantly, controlling for the severity of the debt crisis, we are able to detect a more lasting and negative relationship between default and growth. While private defaults are generally associated with lower growth during the crisis and over the long run (mitigated by the amount involved), for official defaulters we do not observe a growth contraction throughout the years of the crisis and they are associated with higher growth over the long run (independently of the amount involved). When debt relief operations involve debt write offs, however, the negative relationship between private default and growth becomes blurred, while official defaulters strongly benefit in terms of growth from the face value reduction. Using the Synthetic Control Method, we present further evidence for the heterogeneity of the economic impact of debt restructurings, confirming that official and private defaults may have different effects on GDP growth and should then be treated differently.
本文研究了主权债务违约与年度GDP增长之间的关系,同时考虑了债务重组的深度,区分了私人和官方交易,以及债务流动和股票减少之间的关系。通过分析1975-2013年期间的520次重组事件,我们发现私人和官方违约可能会产生不同的增长结果。最重要的是,在控制了债务危机的严重程度后,我们能够发现违约与增长之间更为持久的负相关关系。尽管在危机期间和长期内,私人违约通常与较低的增长有关(因涉及的金额而减轻),但对于官方违约者,我们没有观察到在整个危机期间的增长收缩,而且它们与长期内的较高增长有关(与涉及的金额无关)。然而,当债务减免行动涉及债务注销时,私人违约与增长之间的负相关关系变得模糊,而官方违约方从面值减少中获得了强劲的增长收益。利用综合控制方法,我们进一步证明了债务重组对经济影响的异质性,证实了官方和私人违约可能对GDP增长产生不同的影响,因此应该区别对待。

An Investigation of Weak-Veto Rules in Preference Aggregation 偏好聚合中弱否决规则的研究
Pub Date : 2017-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2920436
Stergios Athanasoglou
A new class of preference-aggregation rules is proposed, weak-veto rules. Weak-veto rules are applicable in settings characterized by strong pre-existing views on the desirability of different outcomes, whose recommendations should be modified only in the presence of strenuous opposition. They are characterized by strategy-proofness, strong efficiency, and unanimity-basedness. When non-manipulability requirements are strengthened to K-strategy-proofness, the positive results are weakened, except for the case of three alternatives and a sub-class of weak-veto rules based on Kemeny distances. This demonstrates the compatibility of stronger efficiency and non-manipulability properties for the three-alternative model.
提出了一类新的偏好聚合规则——弱否决规则。弱否决规则适用于对不同结果的可取性存在强烈的预先看法的情况,这些意见的建议只有在遭到强烈反对的情况下才应加以修改。它们的特点是无策略性、高效率和一致性。当不可操纵性要求被强化为k策略抗性时,除了三个备选方案和基于Kemeny距离的弱否决规则子类外,正面结果被削弱。这证明了三备选模型具有更强的效率和不可操作性。

Cognitive Ability and Games of School Choice 认知能力与择校博弈
Pub Date : 2016-06-21 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2798709
Christian Basteck, M. Mantovani
We take school admission mechanisms to the lab to test whether the widely-used manipulable Boston-mechanism disadvantages students of lower cognitive ability and whether this leads to ability segregation across schools. Results show this is the case: lower ability participants receive lower payoffs and are over-represented at the worst school. Under the strategy-proof Deferred Acceptance mechanism, payoff differences are reduced, and ability distributions across schools harmonized. Hence, we find support for the argument that a strategy-proof mechanisms “levels the playing-field”. Finally, we document a trade-off between equity and efficiency in that average payoffs are larger under Boston than under Deferred Acceptance.
我们将学校录取机制带入实验室,以测试广泛使用的可操纵波士顿机制是否对认知能力较低的学生不利,以及这是否导致学校之间的能力隔离。结果表明,情况确实如此:能力较低的参与者获得的回报较低,而且在最差的学校中所占的比例过高。在不受策略影响的延迟录取机制下,收益差异减少,学校之间的能力分布协调一致。因此,我们找到了支持这一论点的证据,即不受策略影响的机制“公平竞争”。最后,我们记录了公平和效率之间的权衡,即波士顿的平均收益大于延迟接受。

Protecting Unsophisticated Applicants in School Choice through Information Disclosure 通过信息披露保护不成熟的申请人择校
Pub Date : 2016-06-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2797584
Christian Basteck, M. Mantovani
Unsophisticated applicants can be at a disadvantage under manipulable and hence strategically demanding school choice mechanisms. Disclosing information on applications in previous admission periods makes it easier to asses the chances of being admitted at a particular school, and hence may level the playing field between applicants who differ in their cognitive ability. We test this conjecture experimentally for the widely used Boston mechanism. Results show that, absent this information, there exist a substantial gap between subjects of higher and lower cognitive ability, resulting in significant differences in payoffs, and ability segregation across schools. The treatment is effective in improving applicants’ strategic performance. However, because both lower and higher ability subjects improve when they have information about past demands, the gap between the two groups shrinks only marginally, and the instrument fails at levelling the playing field.
不成熟的申请人在可操纵的、因此具有战略要求的择校机制下可能处于不利地位。在以前的录取期间披露申请信息,可以更容易地评估被某所学校录取的机会,因此可能会在认知能力不同的申请人之间提供公平的竞争环境。我们对广泛使用的波士顿机制进行了实验验证。结果表明,在缺乏这些信息的情况下,高、低认知能力的被试之间存在较大的差距,从而导致了显著的收益差异,出现了跨学校的能力隔离。这种待遇对提高应聘者的战略绩效是有效的。然而,由于能力较低和较高的受试者在了解了过去的需求信息后都会有所提高,两组之间的差距只会略微缩小,而且这种工具无法平衡竞争环境。

Is it the Way They Use it? Teachers, ICT and Student Achievement 是他们使用的方式吗?教师、信息通信技术和学生成就
Pub Date : 2016-06-13 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2795207

We provide evidence on whether ICT-related teaching practices affect student achievement. We use a unique student-teacher dataset containing variables on a wide set of very specific uses of computer and ICT by teachers matched with data on national standardized tests for 10th grade students. Our identification strategy relies on a within-student between-subject estimator and on a rich set of teacher's controls. We find that computer-based teaching methods increase student performance when they increase students’ awareness in ICT use and when they enhance communication. Instead, we find a negative impact of practices requiring an active role of the students in classes using ICT. Our findings suggest that the effectiveness of ICT at school depends on the actual practice that teachers make of it and on their ability to integrate ICT into their teaching process.
我们提供了有关信息通信技术相关的教学实践是否影响学生成绩的证据。我们使用了一个独特的学生-教师数据集,其中包含教师对计算机和信息通信技术的一系列非常具体的使用的变量,并与10年级学生的国家标准化测试数据相匹配。我们的识别策略依赖于一个学生内部和学科之间的估计器以及一组丰富的教师控制。我们发现基于计算机的教学方法在提高学生使用信息通信技术的意识和加强交流时提高了学生的表现。相反,我们发现要求学生在使用ICT的课堂上发挥积极作用的实践会产生负面影响。我们的研究结果表明,信息通信技术在学校的有效性取决于教师对其进行的实际实践,以及他们将信息通信技术融入教学过程的能力。

Some Twins are Not Alike: FDI Premia in the Former Soviet States 有些双胞胎不一样:前苏联国家的外国直接投资溢价
Pub Date : 2016-06-13 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2795139

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to estimate foreign direct investment (FDI) premia in the former Soviet states.Design/methodology/approachThe authors follow an empirical approach. Using Orbis data for a sample of more than 3,000 companies, the authors characterize FDI involvement and FDI premia of firms from three distinctive groups of former Soviet states, designated “upper-middle”-income, “lower-middle”-income and “high”-income countries. This yields interesting within-group and between-group results on the effects of outward FDI (OFDI) and inward FDI (IFDI) on firm-level innovation.FindingsThe authors unveil new facts about innovation and FDI in the former Soviet states. FDI firms innovate more than non-FDI firms and OFDI firms innovate more than IFDI firms. The innovation effect of OFDI is the largest for firms from the “lower-middle” countries, followed by the “high” and “upper-middle” countries. The innovation effect of IFDI is the largest for firms from the “lower-middle” countries, followed by the “upper-middle” and “high” countries. FDI to and from Europe has the largest impact on innovation; this holds across country groups.Research limitations/implicationsThe estimates of this paper document robust FDI premia, i.e., a positive and significant correlation between firm-level innovation and FDI. However, the cross-sectional nature of the data does not permit a proper causality analysis.Originality/valueThe paper contributes to the literature on FDI premia by: considering IFDI and OFDI in a unified empirical framework; dissecting IFDI and OFDI by location; measuring firm-level productivity in terms of innovation; and providing cross-country comparable evidence on both emerging and advanced economies. At the same time, the paper contributes to the literature on FDI from emerging economies by: taking a firm-level quantitative approach; focusing on a relatively unexplored set of countries; and providing comparable cross-country evidence on both emerging and advanced economies.
本文的目的是估计前苏联国家的外国直接投资(FDI)溢价。设计/方法/方法作者采用实证方法。作者利用奥比斯对3000多家公司样本的数据,描述了来自前苏联国家三个不同群体的公司的外国直接投资参与和外国直接投资溢价的特征,这些国家被称为“中高”收入、“中低收入”和“高”收入国家。这就产生了关于对外直接投资(OFDI)和对内直接投资(IFDI)对企业层面创新的影响的有趣的组内和组间结果。作者揭示了关于前苏联国家创新和外国直接投资的新事实。外国直接投资企业比非外国直接投资企业创新更多,对外直接投资企业比对外直接投资企业创新更多。“中下”国家企业的对外直接投资创新效应最大,其次是“高”国家和“中上”国家。IFDI对“中下”国家企业的创新效应最大,其次是“中上”国家和“高”国家。进出欧洲的外国直接投资对创新的影响最大;这在各个国家群体中都适用。研究局限/启示本文的估计表明了强劲的FDI溢价,即企业层面的创新与FDI之间存在显著的正相关关系。然而,数据的横断面性质不允许进行适当的因果关系分析。本文对FDI溢价研究的贡献在于:将IFDI和OFDI放在一个统一的实证框架中考虑;按地区剖析IFDI和OFDI;从创新角度衡量企业层面的生产率;并提供新兴经济体和发达经济体的跨国可比证据。同时,本文通过以下几个方面对新兴经济体FDI研究文献进行了补充:采用企业层面的定量方法;聚焦于相对未开发的国家;并提供新兴经济体和发达经济体的可比跨国证据。

Optimal Ownership Regime in the Presence of Investment Spillovers 投资溢出下的最优所有权制度
Pub Date : 2016-03-30 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2756717
Piergiovanna Natale, V. Gattai
In the context of the property rights theory of the firm, we study the role of investment spillovers in shaping the efficiency ranking of ownership regimes. In our model, spillovers arise from asset-embodied investment and footloose investment. Under the former, the benefits of investment can be appropriated only through asset control; under the latter, the benefits of investment can be appropriated independently of asset control. Our model predicts that asset-embodied investment favors the adoption of non-integration, while joint ownership may prevail in the presence of footloose investment.
在企业产权理论的背景下,我们研究了投资溢出在所有制制度效率排序中的作用。在我们的模型中,溢出效应来自资产化投资和自由投资。在前者下,投资收益只能通过资产控制来分配;在后者下,投资收益可以独立于资产控制而被挪用。我们的模型预测,资产化投资倾向于采用非整合,而在自由投资存在的情况下,共同所有权可能会占上风。

Macroeconomic and Financial Effects of Oil Price Shocks: Evidence for the Euro Area 油价冲击的宏观经济和金融影响:欧元区的证据

The paper investigates the macroeconomic and financial effects of oil prices shocks in the euro area since its creation in 1999, with a special focus on the recent slump. The analysis is carried out episode by episode, within a time-varying parameter framework, consistent with the view that "not all the oil price shocks are alike", yet without imposing any a priori identification assumption. We find evidence of recessionary effects triggered not only by oil price hikes, but also by oil price slumps in some cases, likewise for the most recent episode, which is also rising deflation risk and financial distress. In addition through uncertainty effects, the current slump might then be depressing aggregate demand by increasing the real interest rate, as ECB monetary policy is already conducted at the zero lower bound. The increase in real money balances following the slump points to the accommodation of the shock by the ECB, concurrent with the implementation of the Quantitative Easing policy (Q.E.). Yet, in so far as Q.E. failed to generate inflationary expectations within the current and expected environment of soft oil prices, the case for a more expansionary use of fiscal policy than in the past would become compelling, in order to counteract the deflationary and recessionary threats to the euro area.
本文调查了自1999年欧元区成立以来,油价冲击对欧元区的宏观经济和金融影响,并特别关注了最近的经济衰退。分析是在一个时变参数框架内逐事件进行的,与“并非所有油价冲击都是相似的”的观点一致,但没有强加任何先验的识别假设。我们发现,不仅油价上涨引发了衰退效应,在某些情况下,油价暴跌也引发了衰退效应,最近的情况也是如此,这也加剧了通缩风险和金融困境。此外,通过不确定性效应,当前的衰退可能会通过提高实际利率来抑制总需求,因为欧洲央行的货币政策已经在零下限下执行。经济衰退后实际货币余额的增加表明,欧洲央行在实施量化宽松政策(qe)的同时,对冲击进行了调整。然而,到目前为止,由于量化宽松政策未能在当前和预期的软油价环境中产生通胀预期,为了抵消欧元区面临的通缩和衰退威胁,比过去更扩张性地使用财政政策的情况将变得令人信服。
