October 16 at 3.00 pm - Research seminar by Alex Stomper (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) «Insurance within the Industry»

Venue: Shabolovka st. 26, Room 3211

On Thursday, October 16 at 3.00 pm International College of Economics and Finance will hold the Research Seminar.
Speaker: Alex Stomper (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) <Curriculum Vitae>
Theme: «Insurance within the Industry»
Venue: Shabolovka st. 26, Room 3211

Abstract: We analyze how firms' employment growth responds to sales shocks. The analysis reveals that a firm can provide its employees with more "insurance" if the firm's competitors operate with more flexible production technologies. We thus show that the Knightian view of the firm as a "system for insuring the timid and doubtful" must be extended to the industry-level. 

Everyone interested is welcome to attend!
