25 марта в 16:40 - Научный семинар Кевина Шиди «Political Specialization»

Место проведения: Шаболовка, 26 ауд. 3211

В среду, 25 марта в 16.40 в ауд. 3211 (ул. Шаболовка, 26) пройдет научный семинар Международного института экономики и финансов и Международной лаборатории финансовой экономики.
Докладчик: Кевин Шиди (ЛШЭ) <Curriculum Vitae>
Тема доклада: «Political Specialization»

Тезисы доклада: This paper presents a theory of political specialization in which some countries uphold the rule of law while others consciously choose not to do so, even though they are ex ante identical. This is borne out of two key insights: for incumbents in each country, (i) the first steps to the rule of law have the greatest private cost, and (ii) steps taken by some countries in the direction of the rule of law make it less attractive for others to follow the same path. The world equilibrium features a symbiotic relationship between despotic and rule-of-law economies: by producing technology-intensive goods that require protection of property rights, rule-of-law economies raise the relative price of natural resources and increase incentives for despotism in other countries; while the choice of despotism entails a positive externality because cheap oil makes the rule of law more attractive elsewhere in the world.

Приглашаются все желающие.
