Theme: "A “de Soto Effect” in Industry? Evidence from the Russian Federation"
On Thursday, October 16 at 3.00 pm International College of Economics and Finance and Internatioanl Laboratory of Financial Economics will hold the Research Seminar in Finance.
Speaker: Alex Stomper (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)
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.
