CES Economic Theory Seminar

Home 

The Economic Theory workshop is a weekly seminar taking place on fridays 12-13h at the Maison des Sciences Economiques (106-112 Boulevard de l'Hôpital). This seminar is a venue for theoretical work in Economics and for work drawing on quantitative methods in Economics. Defined by an approach rather than by a specific theme, the topics of the seminar can concern a variety of areas in Economics, such as (non exhaustively), micro economics, game theory, mathematical economics, decisions theory, finance or macro economics. The seminar functions as an internal workshop but also regularly greets speakers from other institutions.

Organizers: Emily Tanimura, Stéphane Zuber, Anna Bogomolnaia and Hervé Moulin,

Title :   Collective State Spaces

Location: Maison des Sciences Économiques, room S17. 

Summary:  This paper examines how a society should construct a comprehensive state space from individuals’ distinct state spaces in the absence of an exogenously specified state space. We show that the social state space must coincide with the Cartesian product of individual state spaces. Our characterization is based on four normative axioms, three of which are weak Pareto-type conditions designed to rule out spurious unanimity that can arise from preferences over menus.

Title :   When leases get longer - Tenure security in rental markets (joint with Alessandro Ciardo, Jordi Jofre-Monseny and Rodrigo Martínez-Mazza)

Location: Maison des Sciences Économiques, room S17. 

Summary:  Housing affordability has become a first-order concern in many parts of the world, with the problem being particularly acute among renters. This has increased the interest in rental market regulations to protect tenants. In this paper, we study a reform in Spain that in 2018 increased the length of rental leases from 3 to 5 years for private landlords and from 3 to 7 years among corporate owners. Using administrative data on the universe of rental agreements in Catalonia, we study the effects of the reform on rental markets using differences-in-differences and regression discontinuity designs. Our preliminary findings indicate that the reform was highly effective in increasing tenant security while having no (or minimal) effects on supply. We do not find evidence that lease length conditions capitalize into rental prices.
