SUMMARY:Seminario de Investigación | Selection in Crisis Lending: Evidence from Chile's Government-Guaranteed Loans
DESCRIPTION:Seminario de Investigación \nSelection in Crisis Lending: Evidence from Chile’s Government-Guaranteed Loans \nExpositor: Lautaro Chittaro | Stanford University \nAbstract \nWe study the long-run effectiveness of government-guaranteed loan programs implemented during recent crises. Using administrative and loan application data from the Central Bank of Chile\, we track firm defaults five years after the COVID-19 shock. Our instrumental-variable estimates show that these loans postponed defaults for two years but did not reduce total defaults in the long run. Banks used private information to direct credit toward firms that would have been safer even without the program. To assess the welfare implications of the delayed defaults and banks’ selection of safer firms\, we build a dynamic model of heterogeneous entrepreneurs disciplined by our causal estimates. The program generated welfare gains 21% above its fiscal cost\, with limited rents for banks and modest increases in aggregate risk-taking. Younger firms are the most cost-effective group to support\, yet they are the least likely to be approved because their growth relies on leverage\, increasing default risk. A budget-neutral redesign that raises guarantees for younger firms and reduces them for the rest could increase welfare by 6pp.

SUMMARY:Seminario de Investigación | Does generative AI narrow education-based productivity gaps? Evidence from a randomized experiment
DESCRIPTION:Expositor | Guillermo Cruces | UDESA\n\nAbstract\nDoes generative artificial intelligence (AI) reinforce or reduce productivity differences across workers? Existing evidence largely studies AI within firms and occupations\, where organizational selection compresses educational heterogeneity\, leaving unclear whether AI narrows productivity gaps across individuals with substantially different levels of formal education. We address this question using a randomized online experiment conducted outside firms\, in which 1\,174 adults ages 25–45 with heterogeneous educational backgrounds complete an incentivized\, workplace-style business problem-solving task. The task is a general (not domain specific) exercise\, and participants perform it either with or without access to a generative-AI assistant. Unlike prior work that studies heterogeneity within relatively homogeneous worker samples\, our design targets the between–education-group productivity gap as the primary estimand. We find that AI increases productivity for all participants\, with substantially larger gains for lower-education individuals. In the absence of AI access\, higher-education participants outperform lower-education participants by 0.548 standard deviations; with AI access\, this gap falls to 0.139 standard deviations\, implying that generative AI closes about three quarters of the initial productivity gap. We interpret this pattern as evidence that generative AI narrows effective productivity differences in task execution by relaxing cognitive constraints that are more binding for lower-education individuals\, even though underlying skill differences remain\, as reflected in persistent education gaps in task performance and in a follow-up exercise without AI assistance.\n\nCo autores  Diego Fernandez Meijide\, Sebastian Galiani\, Ramiro H.

SUMMARY:Seminario de Investigación | Does Money Win Wars?
DESCRIPTION:Expositor | Dominic Rohner \nAbstract\n The impact of economic resources on the outcomes of military conflicts is heatedly debated — yet causal empirical evidence is lacking. To address this gap\, the current paper asks whether “deeper pockets” help win wars. We construct a fine-grained dataset covering more than 700 interstate disputes and rely on exogenous resource price shocks to estimate the causal effect of financial windfalls on winning chances in interstate conflicts. We find a statistically significant and quantitatively large impact of windfalls on winning odds and show that a key channel of transmission is a surge in military spending. \nAutores | Dominic Rohner\, Jonathan Federle and Moritz Schularick \nSobre el expositor\nDominic Rohner (PhD\, University of Cambridge) is a Professor of Economics at the Geneva Graduate Institute\, where he holds the André Hoffmann Chair in Political Economics and Governance\, and is also a Professor at the University of Lausanne (on leave). He is Co-director of the Hoffmann Centre for Global Sustainability\, member of the Swiss National Research Council\, academic director of the FCDO-funded research program on Reducing Conflict and Improving Performance in the Economy (ReCIPE) and leader of the CEPR Research and Policy Network on “Preventing Conflict”.

SUMMARY:Conferencia | The Peace Formula
DESCRIPTION:Expositor | Dominic Rohner \nSobre el libro The Peace Formula (Cambridge University Press\, 2024)\, el libro que propone una mirada clara y accesible sobre cómo ciertos factores económicos y políticos pueden contribuir no solo a explicar los conflictos\, sino también a superarlos. En un contexto internacional marcado por la persistencia y la reaparición de conflictos armados\, tensiones geopolíticas y crisis atravesadas por causas tanto políticas como económicas\, esta conferencia resulta especialmente relevante. La propuesta de Rohner invita a pensar la paz no como un ideal abstracto\, sino como una construcción concreta basada en incentivos\, instituciones y políticas públicas capaces de reducir la violencia y abrir caminos hacia una prosperidad compartida. A partir de ejemplos históricos y evidencia académica reciente\, la charla abordará una idea central: la paz sostenible requiere trabajo\, voz y garantías. Es decir\, oportunidades económicas\, participación democrática y un Estado capaz de brindar seguridad y funciones básicas.\nUna invitación a pensar\, desde una perspectiva rigurosa y accesible\, cuáles son las condiciones para construir sociedades más pacíficas\, justas y prósperas. \nOrganizan: Centro Franco-Argentino de la Universidad de Buenos Aires e Instituto Interdisciplinario de Economía Política (IIEP\, UBA-CONICET)\nCon el apoyo del Institut Français d’Argentine y la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas de la Universidad de Buenos Aires \nLugar|  FCE UBA | Salón de Actos \nActividad abierta a todo público

SUMMARY:Seminario de investigación | The Political Economy of Pharmaceutical Patent Examination: The Case of Argentina
DESCRIPTION:Expositor | Ken Shadlen | LSE \nPharmaceutical patenting is new in many developing countries\, required by the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). In complying with this new international obligation\, some countries introduced measures to reduce the grant of patents on alternative forms of existing drugs\, i.e. “secondary patents\,” fearing that such patents can delay generic competition after the expiration of patents on drugs’ main compounds\, i.e. “primary patents.” Yet previous empirical research on measures to reduce the grant of secondary patents in developing countries has reported these interventions to have minimal effectiveness. \nThis mixed-methods paper analyzes Argentina’s 2012 pharmaceutical patent examination guidelines. Quantitative analyses\, based on a dataset of all pharmaceutical patent applications filed in Argentina over a 20 year period\, with applications coded as “primary” and “secondary\,” demonstrate that the guidelines reduced the grant of secondary patents in Argentina. Qualitative analyses of state-society interaction in the process of patent examination\, based on research conducted in Argentina throughout the period that the guidelines were in effect\, provide a political economy explanation for effectiveness.  The political economy analyses also explain the 2012 guidelines’ long persistence\, despite intense opposition from the international pharmaceutical industry and foreign governments\, and their eventual removal in 2026. \n  \nLugar | FCE-UBA | Aula Olivera

SUMMARY:Seminario de investigación | Optimization Strategies for the Inverse Eigenvector Centrality Problem: An Application to the Political Blogosphere
DESCRIPTION:Seminario de investigación \nOptimization Strategies for the Inverse Eigenvector Centrality Problem: An Application to the Political Blogosphere \nExpositor | Fabio Raciti | University of Catania \nThe study of complex networks provides fundamental tools for understanding interactions across diverse systems\, from infrastructure to social dynamics. Central to this field are centrality measures\, which quantify the influence of nodes within a given topology. Traditionally\, research focuses on the forward problem: calculating centrality based on a fixed adjacency matrix. However\, many modern applications demand the Inverse Centrality Problem: modifying edge weights so that the network yields a pre-defined centrality vector.\nIn this talk\, we explore various optimization criteria for the Inverse Eigenvector Centrality Problem\, focusing on how different reweightings can achieve global influence targets. Finally\, we apply our methodology to a classic real-world case: the network of US political blogs during the 2004 presidential election. We demonstrate how our optimization strategies perform in a deeply polarized environment\, offering insights into the robustness and manipulability of political discourse. \nSobre el expositor \nFabio Raciti is an Associate Professor of Operations Research at the University of Catania\, Italy\, and has obtained the Italian National Scientific Qualification for Full Professor in Operations Research. \nHis main research interests include inverse problems\, Nash equilibrium problems\, variational inequalities in probability spaces\, network games\, and optimization methods for network centrality measures. \nHe is the author or co-author of more than 75 research papers and of the research monograph Uncertainty Quantification in Variational Inequalities: Theory\, Numerics\, and Applications\, published by CRC Press in 2021. \n  \n
