SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Labor Market Power\, Self-Employment\, and Development (joint (with F. Amodio and M. Morlacco).
DESCRIPTION:This paper shows that self-employment shapes labor market power in low-income countries\, with implications for industrial development. Using Peruvian data\, we show that wage-setting power increases with concentration\, but less so where self-employment is more prevalent. We build a general equilibrium model of oligopsony with worker sorting between wage work and self-employment. Concentration depresses wages\, but self-employment increases workers’ sensitivity to wage changes\, curbing labor market power. Policies to create salaried jobs make self-employment less attractive\, reducing labor supply elasticity and increasing markdowns. Counterfactual analyses show that eliminating labor market power can boost industrial policy effectiveness by up to 60%.\n\n\nThis talk is presented by the International Economics Seminar\, sponsored by the Department of Economics with generous gifts given through the Economics Strategic Fund.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:CANCELED - CJS Thursday Noon Lecture Series | Japanese Traders in Seventeenth-Century Mexico City
DESCRIPTION:We apologize that we have had to cancel this event.\n\nFranco Xuo “of the Japanese nation” was living in Mexico City in the 1630s\, working as a trader. How did he come to be there and why did he stay? This talk examines his experiences along with those of other Japanese men to answer these questions. Their stories reveal that global trade in the early modern period depended on working men who moved thousands of miles away to take advantage of commercial centers knowing they might never return to their homelands.\n   \n   Tatiana Seijas is Associate Professor of History at Rutgers University. She writes about global migrations\, long-distance trade\, urban economies\, and the joined history of freedom and slavery. Her latest monograph “American Metropolis: The Making of Mexico City in the Seventeenth Century” is a new history of one of the early modern world's greatest entrepôts centered on the economic lives of ordinary people.\n   \n   *This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.*\n   \n   *Image source: “Nova Mexico\, Die Nieuwe en onbekende Weereld” (Amsterdam\, 1671).

Please be aware that advance notice is necessary as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Effects of Grandparental Proximity to Female Labor Supply
DESCRIPTION:Childcare arrangements are one of the primary determinants of labor market decisions undertaken by working parents with women\, who are still primary undertakers of caregiving and domestic activity in a household\, being at the center of the tradeoff between unpaid household work and paid work in the labor market. Despite the increasing availability of organized childcare facilities\, grandparents of the child still remain an important source of unpaid childcare by working parents. Using the micro-data from the U.S. census\, I measure the impact of informal childcare arrangements by grandparents by using two separate proxies: living in one's birth state and co-residence with an individual over 65. Using one's birth state as a proxy for residing close to one’s grandparents\, I find that living in close proximity to grandparents increases their odds of being in the labor market\; however\, for mothers that are already in the labor market this results in an insignificant decrease in the work hours. Contrarily\, using co-residence with an individual over 65 indicates that coresiding with the childs' grandparents has a negative correlation in both labor force participation as well as hours worked for working mothers. The magnitude and direction of these results vary by major ethno-racial groups in the U.S.\n\nPlease RSVP in the \"Related Links\" section of this listing. Lunch will be provided.
