SUMMARY:Macroeconomics & International Finance Seminar Series Presents: Zhiguo He
DESCRIPTION:Macroeconomics and International Finance Seminar\nDate: Tuesday\, October 28\, 2025\nTime: 1:40-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: E2-499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Zhiguo He\nTitle: James Irvin Miller Professor of Finance\nAffiliation: Stanford University \nHost: Michael Leung \n \nSeminar title: Household Migration and Collateral Constraint: Cash-based Housing Resettlement in China\n \nABSTRACT:   Collateral constraints reduce household migration to expensive locations by restricting financing for home purchases. This endogenous location choice can amplify the impact of relaxing borrowing constraints. Using China’s cash-based shantytown renovation program (2015-2018) as a natural experiment\, we provide evidence that cash resettlement– by converting illiquid shanty houses into cash– facilitated household location upgrading and raised house prices in more expensive locations. A dynamic spatial model with collateral constraints confirms that endogenous location upgrading amplified the effect of cash transfer\, raising lifetime housing expenditures by nearly 50%\, and house price growth in low-tier cities by 9% in 2016-2020.

SUMMARY:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar Series presents: Shanjun Li
DESCRIPTION:Applied Microeconomics and Trade Seminar\nDate: Thursday\, October 30th\, 2025\nTime: 1:40-3:00 p.m.\nLocation: E2-499\n\n \n\nSpeaker: Shanjun Li\nPersonal Webpage \nTitle: Steven and Roberta Denning Professor of Global Sustainability \nAffiliation: Stanford University \nHost: Peter Christensen \n \nSeminar title: Range Anxiety\n \nABSTRACT:   Range anxiety\, the fear of depleting battery before reaching a charging station\, is often cited as a major barrier to electric vehicle (EV) adoption\, yet there has been limited formal economic analysis to quantify its importance and understand the policy implications. We develop a continuous-time dynamic model of EV usage and charging decisions to quantify range anxiety as the utility loss from feasible yet unrealized trips due to perceived range constraints. Using high-frequency data of 188\,000 EV trips and 30\,000 charging events among 8\,000 EVs in Shanghai\, we recover model parameters governing consumer driving and charging decisions. The estimates imply that\, across EV models with varying driving ranges\, average range anxiety was about $1\,900 in 2021 but declined to $1\,200 in 2024\, driven by improvements in charging infrastructure and\, especially\, in creases in driving range. Policy simulations underscore the importance of coordinating investments in battery capacity and charging infrastructure to address range anxiety: relative to socially optimal levels\, Shanghai’s EV market has under-invested in driving range while over-investing in charging infrastructure.
