SUMMARY:Macroeconomics & International Finance Seminar Series Presents: Yuriy Gorodnichenko
DESCRIPTION:Macroeconomics and International Finance Seminar\nDate: Tuesday\, November 18\, 2025\nTime: 1:40-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: E2-499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Yuriy Gorodnichenko\nTitle: Quantedge Presidential Professor of Economics\nAffiliation: UC Berkeley\nHost: Pascal Michaillat\n \nSeminar title:  How costly are business cycle volatility and inflation? A Vox Populi approach\n \nABSTRACT:  Using surveys of households across thirteen countries\, we study how much individuals would be willing to pay to eliminate business cycles. These direct estimates are much higher than traditional measures following Lucas (2003): on average\, households would be prepared to sacrifice around 5-6% of their lifetime consumption eliminate business cycle fluctuations. A similar result holds for inflation: to bring inflation to their desired rate\, individuals would be willing to sacrifice around 5% of their consumption. Willingness to pay to eliminate business cycles and inflation is generally higher for those whose consumption is more pro-cyclical\, those who are more uncertain about the economic outlook\, and those who live in countries with greater historical volatility.

SUMMARY:Corporations at Climate Crossroads: Book Talk with Lily Hsueh
DESCRIPTION:With climate risks growing\, climate action facing political headwinds in many countries\, and international cooperation increasingly challenged\, Lily Hsueh’s Corporations at Climate Crossroads illuminates how and under what conditions the world’s largest corporations have taken proactive action on climate change during the years leading up to and after the Paris Agreement. \nDrawing on insights from economics\, political science\, and management\, the author uncovers how corporations and their leaders are key players in a nested structure of climate change governance. Hsueh shows that corporate leaders’ climate actions are shaped by bottom-up and top-down institutions and incentives involving firm\, regulatory\, and global governance. To navigate uncertainty\, corporate responses to the climate challenge are therefore an interplay of internal firm leadership\, complementary capabilities in adjacent areas\, and strategic and proactive engagement with regulatory process and global governance. Sophisticated large-N statistical analyses of global businesses’ climate mitigation and performance from 2011 to 2020 and illustrative company case studies substantiate the demand for\, and supply of\, global businesses’ climate mitigation\, across sectors\, and in developed and developing countries. \nPlease join us for this book talk in-person at the Interdisciplinary Sciences Building (ISB 102). Open to all. \nJoin online at: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/98816465544?pwd=Li4HOKSoaal6PCIJcyG5hBRl60hHfW.1 \nMeeting ID: 988 1646 5544\nPasscode: 860374 \nPreceded by a panel “The Role of Corporations in a+3ºC World” to be held on Zoom at 2 p.m. on November 18. \nMeeting ID: 684 546 2150\nPasscode: Karoli\nSponsored by \nInstitute for Social Transformation and Earth Futures Institute \nAbout the author: Dr. Lily Hsueh\, PhD \nLily Hsueh is Associate Professor of Economics and Public Policy at Arizona State University\, where she is also a Senior Global Futures Scientist at the ASU Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory.
