[MIÉRCOLES] Seminario Economía PUJ: Javier Birchnall (UC - Santa Barbara)

[Nicolas Alejandro Lillo Bustos]

Estimados colegas,

 

Junto con saludarlos, los invito al Seminario de Economía de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. Este se realizará este miércoles vía Zoom. A continuación, los detalles del seminario:

 

• Invitado: Javier Birchnall (UC - Santa Barbara) (Página personal)
• Título: A Theory of Disease and Development: Productivity, Exchange, and Social Segregation (link al paper)
• Abstract: The thesis of this paper is that disease plays a fundamental role in long-run economic development through the social organization of production and exchange. I study an assignment problem in which disease spillovers induce social segregation and limit the extent of the market. I characterize the productivity effects of disease across production and exchange arrangements with a differential scope for disease spillovers. Eliminating disease spillovers increases aggregate productive efficiency by roughly a factor of 3. Historical accounts describe many instances in which past societies dealt with disease through social segregation in production and exchange. Some of these instances are catalogued here.
