The World Congress of the Econometric Society started today!!
Please join the online presentations here: https://eswc2020.duuzra.com/www/?pin=yale
There will be a great number of fantastic presentations.
I will be presenting the paper: “Elections, Heterogeneity of Central Bankers and Inflationary Pressure: The case for staggered terms for the president and the central banker”
It will be presented in Session 72: “Topics in Monetary Policy I”, on Thursday, August 20, 2020, at 18:00 UTC, which corresponds to 15:00 in Brasilia and 13:00 in Nashville.
The recorded session is already available on the ESWC 2020 site or directly here on youtube:
Mine is the second of three presentations. It starts around the 33rd minute.
In a few words, the paper shows that dealing with inflationary pressures is much costlier in heterogeneous societies in which there are very different preferences regarding the trade-off inflation-growth. The main policy suggestion is that having staggered terms for the president and the central banker reduces informational asymmetries and, thereby, the social cost of monetary stabilizations.
On Thursday, all the presenters will be available online for questions from the audience, only on the WCES’s site.
Hope to see you there!

Análisis Económico: Job security, attitude towards risk and preference for social insurance: A note on Earnings inequality and welfare spending’ by Moene and Wallerstein
In a seminal 2003 article, Karl Moene and Michael Wallerstein show that richer citizens support higher spending in social policies targeting the unemployed, whereas they prefer lower spending in policies targeting the employed. This paper argues that this result is driven by two strong assumptions: citizens’ coefficient of relative risk aversion (CRRA) is greater than one, and all citizens face the same probability of losing their jobs. By modelling the stylized fact that job security is positively correlated with income, we show that much higher levels of risk aversion may be needed for the rich to support higher spending in unemployment policy. Furthermore, a significant change in the distribution of job security – due to a sudden economic crisis, for example – may alter the way inequality affects preferences for social insurance. A case study for Brazil before and after the 2008 World Financial Crisis illustrates of such social preference change.
