Long-term Expectations

Digital Event

Online Research Seminar 18:30 pm, Thursday, 29 September 2022 Perceived long-term (ten-year horizon) return distributions are remarkably bearish and most individuals believe that uncertainty is only marginally greater in the long term than the near term (one-year horizon), resulting in inferred variance ratios that require unprecedented levels of mean reversion. Although respondents’ near-term beliefs are extrapolative, long-term beliefs are counter-cyclical. Long-term beliefs are more important than near-term beliefs in explaining equity market participation. Respondents agree more about long-term than near-term returns and respondents’ characteristics better explain long-term, versus near-term, belief heterogeneity. These patterns have important implications for understanding household finance and [...]

Smart Environment Enhancement Through Technical and Social Sensors Aggregation

Digital Event

Online Research Seminar 15:30 pm, Thursday, 27 October 2022 Smart cities are ones that deploy innovative technology, create more innovative ways of delivering public services and make better use of data with the ultimate objective of becoming more prosperous, sustainable and a better place to live. Smart environments are usually built on a network of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) sensing devices to enable real-time monitoring and response. Data collected from the IoT network can be processed both in real-time and a posteriori to provide insights for advancing and automating processes within and for the urban city environment. A large [...]

Brain Adaptive Crisis Leadership: Allow your Brain Guide you how to Embrace Crisis and Lead People

Digital Event

Online Research Seminar 15:30 pm, Thursday, 3 November 2022 As any other large-scale crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic one was characterised by enormous levels of uncertainty due to overload of information that generates complexity. This complexity in turn can enhance fear and of course panic at both individual and collective level. However, beyond your personal, family and social safety that is a priority, there is another threat in the air. People management is under threat. Our ability to lead people for various projects and processes through this crisis is very important. Our actions as leaders will highly affect the level of the [...]

Data Mining in Repeated Games

CIIM Nicosia 21 Glafkou Kleride Avenue, Aglandjia, Nicosia

Online Research Seminar 15:30 pm, Thursday, 8 December 2022 We conduct experiments on a rich set of repeated games with high discount factors ( = 0.99; 0.995) and develop two pattern-mining methods to study the long run. Our approach emphasizes learning within a repeated game and documents its consequences. Whether, how and what patterns emerge are the subjects of this paper. We find that there is more stability, more efficiency, and more equality at the end of play than at the beginning. Moreover, subjects reach more complex agreements over time. We are also able to detect typical story lines relating long [...]

Does Supporting Ukraine Pay Well? The Performance of Companies that Suspended Their Business in Russia

Digital Event

Online Research Seminar 15:30 pm, Thursday, 26 January 2023 Using fresh data about US companies that announced they were suspending their business activities in Russia following the invasion of Ukraine, we test how their decision affected their prices and looking-forward volatility. We find that these firms, on average, experienced a reduction (increase) in their value (implied volatility). However, this reduction (increase) did not last more than one to two weeks. More in depth analysis shows variations across economic sectors following the announcement. In terms of returns, the energy sector benefited the most, technology was relatively stable, while consumer goods experienced the [...]

Ultimately, this presentation aims to provide insights into the ways in which emerging technologies can help us build a more innovative, effective, and equitable [...]

An Empirical Investigation of the Exposure to Covid-19 on the 2020 US Presidential Election. The Effect of Interracial Interaction on Preferences for Redistribution

CIIM Nicosia 21 Glafkou Kleride Avenue, Aglandjia, Nicosia

Research Seminar 15:30 pm, Thursday, 30 March 2023 The talk will discuss two working papers. The first paper investigates the effect of Covid-19 exposure on voting behavior in the 2020 US presidential elections. The goal is to shed light on how exposure to Covid-19 affects voting behavior, on what the results of the elections would be in the absence of the pandemic and whether this effect is the same for individuals with different demographic characteristics and different residential geographic locations. The second paper investigates whether living among people of different racial backgrounds influences one’s preferences for redistribution. We combine individual and [...]

Hydrogen Economy: An Introduction

Digital Event

Research Seminar 15:30 pm, Thursday, 27 April 2023 The hydrogen economy is a concept that describes a future in which hydrogen becomes a major energy carrier for the world's economy, replacing fossil fuels and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hydrogen is a clean and versatile fuel that can be produced from a variety of sources, including water and renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. The use of hydrogen in transportation, heating, and power generation has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change. However, the transition to a hydrogen economy presents significant technical, economic, and social [...]

Government Spending and Individual’s Expectations. Evidence from Micro Data

CIIM Nicosia 21 Glafkou Kleride Avenue, Aglandjia, Nicosia

Research Seminar 15:30 pm, Friday, 25 May 2023 Fiscal policy has a significant impact on economic decisions, both at the individual and firm levels. Particularly, changes in taxation and government spending affect consumer spending, investment, job creation, and profitability. However, the impact of fiscal policy is still highly debatable, both from theoretical and empirical perspectives. In this paper, we focus  on individuals’ financial expectations and examine directly the impact of government spending changes on individual economic behaviour. We explore whether households form optimistic or pessimistic financial beliefs following changes in fiscal policy via welfare payments. We find evidence of the households' confidence  in the [...]
