SUMMARY:Research Seminar: The Cushioning Effect of Immigrant Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Cem Özgüzel\, Economist\, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) 	Abstract: During the Great Recession\, immigrants reacted to the drop in labour demand in Spain through internal migration or leaving the country. Consequently\, provinces lost 13.5% of their immigrants or -3% of the total labour supply\, on average. Using municipal registers and longitudinal administrative data\, I find that immigrant outflows slowed the decline in employment and wage of natives. I use a modified shift-share instrument based on past settlements to claim causality. Employment effects were driven by increased entries to employment\, while wage effects were limited to natives that were already employed. These effects also persisted in the medium-term. 	Speaker bio: Cem is an Economist at the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and a Research Fellow at the Institut Convergences Migrations. He is an applied economist with a PhD in economics from the Paris School of Economics\, and has research interests in international migration\, labor markets and regional economics. Before joining the OECD\, he worked as a Teaching and Research Fellow at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and as a Lecturer at the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po). He was also a visiting scholar at Center for International Development at Harvard University\, and the German Institute for Employment Research (IAB). 	Please register in advance.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar - Apollo’s Arrow: The Profound and Enduring Impact of Coronavirus on the Way We Live
DESCRIPTION:Apollo’s Arrow offers a broad account of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic as it swept through American society in 2020 and of how the pandemic will unfold\, and ultimately end\, in the coming years. Using up-to-the-moment information\, and drawing on epidemiology\, sociology\, medicine\, public health\, history\, virology\, and other fields\, it explores what it means to live in a time of plague — an experience that is paradoxically uncommon to the vast majority of humans who are alive\, yet deeply fundamental to our species. Unleashing new divisions in our society as well as new opportunities for cooperation\, this 21st-century pandemic has upended our lives in ways that test our frayed collective culture. Apollo’s Arrow envisions what happens when the great force of a deadly germ meets the enduring reality of our evolved social nature. 	Nicholas A. Christakis\, MD\, PhD\, MPH\, is the Sterling Professor of Social and Natural Science at Yale University. His work is in the fields of network science\, biosocial science\, and behavior genetics. He directs the Human Nature Lab and is the Co-Director of the Yale Institute for Network Science. He was elected to the National Academy of Medicine in 2006; the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2010; and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2017.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Globalization and the Ladder of Development: Pushed to the Top or Held at the Bottom?
DESCRIPTION:Title: Globalization and the Ladder of Development: Pushed to the Top or Held at the Bottom?Please register in advance. Contact Chuck McKenney with any questions.Abstract: We study the relationship between international trade and development in a model where countries differ in their capability\, goods differ in their complexity\, and capability growth is a function of a country’s pattern of specialization. Theoretically\, we show that it is possible for international trade to increase capability growth in all countries and\, in turn\, to push all countries up the development ladder. This occurs because: (i) the average complexity of a country’s industry mix raises its capability growth\, and (ii) foreign competition is tougher in less complex sectors for all countries. Empirically\, we provide causal evidence consistent with (i) using the entry of countries into the World Trade Organization as an instrumental variable for other countries’ patterns of specialization. The opposite of (ii)\, however\, appears to hold in the data. Through the lens of our model\, these two empirical observations imply dynamic welfare losses from trade that are small for the median country\, but pervasive and large among a number of African countries.Bio: Arnaud Costinot is Professor of Economics at MIT. He received his B.S. from Ecole Polytechnique in 2000\, his M.A. from Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in 2001\, and his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 2005. Professor Costinot has received numerous awards including the Prix Edmond Malinvaud\, the Kiel Excellence Award in Global Economic Affairs\, and an Alfred P. Sloan Research fellowship. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society\, a Faculty Research Associate for the National Bureau of Economic Research and a Research Fellow for the Center for Economic Policy Research. He also serves on the editorial boards of the American Economic Review and the Journal of International Economics. Specializing in international trade\, he has published the American Economic Review\, Econometrica\, the Journal of Political Economy\, the Quarterly Journal of Economics\, and the Review of Economic Studies. His current research focuses on trade policy and the measurement of the welfare gains from trade.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Anthropogenic Material Cycles and Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:The Growth Lab Research Seminar series is a weekly seminar that brings together researchers from across the academic spectrum who share an interest in growth and development. 	Anthropogenic Material Cycles and Sustainable Development 	Abstract: Modern society relies on the use of more diverse materials and the growing amount of each material\, and results in several relevant sustainability challenges including exhaustion of natural resources\, over-generation and emissions of solid wastes\, and carbon emissions from materials industries. In this talk\, I will use some cases to demonstrate how human activities\, from urbanization\, industrialization\, trade\, to the pursue for carbon-neutral society\, rely on the use of materials and drive the cycles of materials in the anthroposphere. I argue that our sustainable future will heavily rely on the close-loop cycles of materials\, and more attentions should be paid to the challenges in sustainability of physical materials and resources.Dr. Wei-Qiang Chen is a professor of Resources and Urban Sustainability at the Institute of Urban Environment\, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). He obtained his bachelor and PhD degrees in Environmental Science and Engineering from the School of Environment at Tsinghua University\, Beijing\, and worked at the Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies during 2010-2015. His research focuses on material-energy nexus\, sustainable management of materials and urban sustainability. His studies have appeared in PNAS\, Nature Communications\, Environmental science and Technology\, and other first-level journals. He served in the board of the International Society for Industrial Ecology during 2018/01-2020/21\, and was the founding president of the Chinese Society for Industrial Ecology built in 2015. He is now serving as associate editor for the journals Resources\, Conservation\, and Recycling and Journal of Industrial Ecology. 	Please register in advance.
