We explore gender differences in the time taken to accept empirical articles of economics research. On average, female-authored articles take 9 % longer to accept. This gender gap cannot be fully attributed to differences in author affiliation, research productivity, research quality and novelty. The gender composition of editorial boards does not affect acceptance time for female authors. Nevertheless, this gender gap narrows as female representation in an area of research deepens. We find evidence of sub-field differences in this gender gap, consistent with differences in social norms.
我们探讨了接受经济学研究的实证文章所花费的时间的性别差异。女性作者的文章平均要多花9%的时间才能被接受。这种性别差异不能完全归因于作者隶属关系、研究生产力、研究质量和新颖性的差异。编委会的性别构成并不影响女性作者的录用时间。然而,随着女性在某一研究领域的代表性加深,这种性别差距会缩小。我们发现了这种性别差距的子领域差异的证据,与社会规范的差异一致。

This paper studies how natural disasters spread conflicts within a network. We first construct a new panel data set that combines geo-referenced information about conflict events and natural disasters, for 5,944 districts in 53 African countries, over the period 1989–2020. Considering natural disasters as exogenous shocks that affect the combatants’ activity in a locality, we find that natural disasters decrease conflict incidence in the affected locality, increase conflict incidence in neighbouring localities, and lead to an overall net increase in conflict incidence. The spatial dispersion of conflict varies by the level of local rent-seeking opportunities and the level of international, post-disaster aid. We then provide a simple theoretical framework that may explain this conflict dispersion pattern. Findings provide important implications for implementing local and aggregate level conflict mitigation policies.
本文研究了自然灾害如何在网络中传播冲突。我们首先构建了一个新的面板数据集,该数据集结合了1989-2020年期间53个非洲国家5944个地区的冲突事件和自然灾害的地理参考信息。将自然灾害作为影响当地战斗人员活动的外生冲击,我们发现自然灾害降低了受影响地区的冲突发生率,增加了邻近地区的冲突发生率,并导致冲突发生率总体净增加。冲突的空间分散程度因当地寻租机会的水平和国际灾后援助的水平而异。然后,我们提供了一个简单的理论框架,可以解释这种冲突分散模式。调查结果对实施地方和总体层面的缓解冲突政策具有重要意义。

After decades of low and stable inflation, advanced economies experienced a sharp and persistent surge in inflation following the COVID-19 pandemic. While many studies have examined the sources of this inflation, less attention has been paid to how domestic inflation expectations amplify global shocks. This paper makes a novel contribution by quantifying that amplification mechanism across six advanced, inflation-targeting economies: the United States, Canada, New Zealand, the Euro Area, the United Kingdom, and Norway. Using a structural Bayesian vector autoregression model, we jointly identify global demand and supply shocks, including various oil market shocks and global supply chain disruptions, as well as domestic shocks to inflation and inflation expectations. We show that these global shocks were key drivers of the post-pandemic inflation surge in all countries studied. Importantly, our counterfactual analysis reveals that inflation expectations have significantly amplified the transmission of global shocks, particularly in Canada, New Zealand, and the US. These findings demonstrate that the interaction between global forces and country-specific expectations is central to understanding inflation dynamics, and underscore the importance of managing inflation expectations as a tool to mitigate persistent inflation.
在经历了数十年的低而稳定的通货膨胀之后,发达经济体在2019冠状病毒病大流行后经历了通货膨胀的急剧持续飙升。虽然许多研究都考察了这种通胀的来源,但很少有人关注国内通胀预期如何放大全球冲击。本文通过量化六个发达通胀目标制经济体(美国、加拿大、新西兰、欧元区、英国和挪威)的放大机制,做出了一项新颖的贡献。使用结构贝叶斯向量自回归模型,我们共同识别全球需求和供应冲击,包括各种石油市场冲击和全球供应链中断,以及国内对通胀和通胀预期的冲击。我们表明,这些全球冲击是所有研究国家大流行后通胀飙升的主要驱动因素。重要的是,我们的反事实分析显示,通胀预期显著放大了全球冲击的传导,尤其是在加拿大、新西兰和美国。这些研究结果表明,全球力量与具体国家预期之间的相互作用对于理解通胀动态至关重要,并强调了管理通胀预期作为缓解持续通胀的工具的重要性。

The working capital channel 营运资金渠道

Firms relying on working capital raise prices following monetary tightening, and this paper demonstrates that the working capital channel plays a key role in partial and general equilibrium inflation dynamics. The working capital channel arises from firms’ need to pre-fund inputs, determined by their exposure (working capital shares) and price elasticity (working capital sensitivity) to interest rate changes. Using detailed firm-product-level price data, the analysis shows that the average firm holds working capital equal to 16% of sales. For a firm with this average share, a one percentage point policy rate hike leads to a 0.48–2.56% price increase over a 3–33 month horizon.
依赖营运资金的企业在货币紧缩后提高价格,本文证明营运资金渠道在部分均衡和一般均衡通胀动态中起关键作用。营运资金渠道源于公司对预先资金投入的需求,这取决于它们对利率变化的敞口(营运资本份额)和价格弹性(营运资本敏感性)。使用详细的公司产品级价格数据,分析表明,平均每家公司持有的营运资金相当于销售额的16%。对于一家拥有这样平均份额的公司来说,政策利率每提高一个百分点,就会在3-33个月内导致0.48-2.56%的价格上涨。

This paper studies how macroprudential policy changes affect consumers’ housing market expectations and housing affordability perceptions in the United Kingdom. We conduct a large-scale online survey experiment presenting hypothetical changes of three borrower-based macroprudential tools: residential loan-to-value (LTV), buy-to-let LTV, and loan-to-income ratios. We find that policy tightening lowers house price expectations, reduces homebuying intentions, and worsens affordability assessments, while loosening has the opposite effects. The residential LTV ratio is the most effective tool. To interpret these findings, we embed our survey estimates into a dynamic model linking expectations, credit, and housing demand. The model shows that immediate belief shifts significantly amplify house price and consumption responses, highlighting the importance of expectations in the transmission of macroprudential policy.
本文研究了宏观审慎政策变化如何影响英国消费者的住房市场预期和住房负担能力认知。我们进行了一项大规模的在线调查实验,展示了三种基于借款人的宏观审慎工具的假设变化:住房贷款价值比(LTV)、买房出租贷款价值比(LTV)和贷款收入比。我们发现,政策收紧降低了房价预期,降低了购房意愿,并恶化了负担能力评估,而放松则有相反的效果。住宅贷款价值比率是最有效的工具。为了解释这些发现,我们将我们的调查估计嵌入到一个连接预期、信贷和住房需求的动态模型中。该模型表明,即时信念转变显著放大了房价和消费反应,突出了预期在宏观审慎政策传导中的重要性。

We estimate the output gap for the euro area and 20 member countries using a variety of statistical models, based on 55 years of data. We also update the Area-Wide Model Database (AWMD) through 2025Q2, ensuring it remains publicly accessible. Our key findings are: (1) while statistical models broadly agree on the timing of the peaks and troughs, uncertainty persists about the business cycle’s exact state due to differing estimates of the potential output, (2) statistical and institutional estimates generally align but diverge on the size of the output gap, (3) the output gaps of the five largest euro area countries are strongly correlated with each other and the overall euro area. Our work provides an important tool for understanding the business cycle dynamics of Europe’s economy and offers a reliable, official output gap measure for policymakers and economists.
我们基于55年的数据,使用各种统计模型来估计欧元区和20个成员国的产出缺口。我们还通过2025Q2更新了全区域模型数据库(AWMD),确保它仍然可以公开访问。我们的主要发现是:(1)虽然统计模型在高峰和低谷的时间上大致一致,但由于对潜在产出的不同估计,商业周期的确切状态仍然存在不确定性;(2)统计和制度估计总体上一致,但在产出缺口的大小上存在分歧;(3)欧元区五大国家的产出缺口彼此之间以及整个欧元区之间存在强烈的相关性。我们的工作为理解欧洲经济的商业周期动态提供了重要工具,并为政策制定者和经济学家提供了可靠的官方产出缺口衡量标准。

Let’s (not) escalate this! Leadership and communication in a group contest 让我们(不要)升级这件事!小组竞赛中的领导能力和沟通能力

Economic and social situations where groups have to compete are ubiquitous. Such group contests create both a coordination problem within and between groups. Introducing leaders may help to mitigate these coordination problems, but little is known about the effect of leadership in group contests. In a group contest experiment, we compare two types of leadership – leading-by-example and transactional leadership – and also investigate the effect of communication between leaders under both leadership styles. We find that the introduction of leaders mostly increases contest investment. Transactional leaders increase followers’ investment through the allocation of a relatively larger share of the prize to followers who have invested more. Communication between leaders decreases contest investments when there is leading-by-example but not when there is transactional leadership. Overall, leaders do not mitigate the over-investment problem in group contests.
群体竞争的经济和社会环境无处不在。这样的小组竞赛在小组内部和小组之间都产生了协调问题。引入领导可能有助于缓解这些协调问题,但对领导在群体竞争中的作用知之甚少。在小组竞赛实验中,我们比较了两种类型的领导-以身作则和交易型领导-并研究了两种领导风格下领导者之间沟通的效果。我们发现领导者的引入主要增加了竞赛投资。交易型领导者通过将相对较大份额的奖励分配给投资更多的追随者来增加追随者的投资。领导者之间的沟通在以身作则的领导下会减少竞争投资,而在交易型领导下则不会。总体而言,领导者并不能缓解团队竞赛中的过度投资问题。

Do employers discriminate against Active Labour Market Policies participants? A field experiment on the Youth Guarantee internship in Italy 雇主是否歧视积极劳动力市场政策的参与者?意大利青年保障实习的实地试验

Using a field experiment on Italy’s Youth Guarantee subsidised internships, this work investigates whether employers discriminate against candidates who participated in Active Labour Market policies at the beginning of their career. Specifically, 4,066 fictitious resumes were sent to real employers in 11 Italian cities. Each resume randomly displayed participation in the Youth Guarantee internship, a regular internship, or an unemployment gap after university graduation, followed by additional work experience. The results revealed that employers discriminate against former Youth Guarantee interns compared with those who are unemployed or regular interns. Discrimination is strongest when the resume does not show sectoral IT skills, suggesting that employers perceive the program to be detrimental to human capital accumulation and use it as a cue to statistically discriminate.
通过对意大利青年保证补贴实习的实地实验,这项工作调查了雇主是否歧视那些在职业生涯开始时参加积极劳动力市场政策的候选人。具体来说,4,066份虚构的简历被发送给了意大利11个城市的真实雇主。每份简历随机显示了参加青年保障实习、定期实习或大学毕业后的失业间隔,然后是额外的工作经验。结果显示,与失业或正式实习生相比,雇主对前青年保障实习生存在歧视。当简历中没有显示部门IT技能时,歧视是最强烈的,这表明雇主认为该项目不利于人力资本积累,并将其作为统计歧视的线索。

Inconvenient truths: A note on information avoidance and the price of fairness 难以忽视的真相:关于信息回避和公平的代价

Previous literature has shown that people are often reluctant to learn whether individually profitable actions have negative consequences for others. In an experimental allocation decision, we vary the ‘inconvenience’ of becoming informed about the payoffs of another player by changing the costs and benefits of choosing the fair outcome. Making the fair allocation cheaper to implement turns out to have a multiplier effect, raising both altruistic choices of informed subjects and the fraction of subjects that chooses to become informed. Thus, in situations of uncertainty, subsidizing altruistic choices to decision makers could be an effective tool for raising social welfare. By contrast, variations in the size of recipients’ potential payoffs have a smaller effect on ignorance and fair choices.
先前的文献表明,人们通常不愿意了解个人利益行为是否会对他人产生负面影响。在一个实验性的分配决策中,我们通过改变选择公平结果的成本和收益来改变获知另一个参与者收益的“不便”。事实证明,降低公平分配的实施成本会产生乘数效应,既提高了知情主体的利他选择,也提高了选择知情的主体的比例。因此,在不确定的情况下,补贴决策者的利他选择可能是提高社会福利的有效工具。相比之下,接受者潜在回报大小的变化对无知和公平选择的影响较小。

By contrast, variations in the size of recipients’ potential payoffs have a smaller effect on ignorance and fair choices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48389,"journal":{"name":"European Economic Review","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 105188"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145419635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People who can increase their payoff by violating a moral norm may delegate decisions to dilute their perception of responsibility, which can lead to a higher overall frequency of moral transgressions. To structure the different effects at work, we first develop a model with multiple delegation stages where decision makers have private information on their lying costs and dilution of responsibility. Our model shows that the impact of delegation is generally ambiguous, but also identifies intuitive sufficient conditions for more moral transgressions with delegation. We then perform a large-scale online experiment where subjects in groups of three can increase their payoff by lying about the outcome of a lottery. We find no evidence that delegation increases the overall lying frequency. Estimating the subjects’ preferences from the data, we find a normal distribution for lying costs and a strongly negatively skewed distribution for a rather low dilution effect.
那些可以通过违反道德规范来增加收益的人可能会委派决策来淡化他们对责任的感知,这可能会导致道德违规的总体频率更高。为了构建工作中的不同影响,我们首先开发了一个具有多个授权阶段的模型,其中决策者拥有关于其说谎成本和责任稀释的私人信息。我们的模型表明,授权的影响通常是模糊的,但也确定了更多的道德越界的直观充分条件。然后,我们进行了一个大规模的在线实验,在这个实验中,三人一组的受试者可以通过对彩票的结果撒谎来增加他们的回报。我们没有发现任何证据表明授权会增加撒谎的总体频率。从数据中估计受试者的偏好,我们发现说谎成本呈正态分布,而稀释效应较低时呈强烈的负偏态分布。
