摘要：
Inflation has heterogeneous impacts on households, which then affects optimal monetary policy design. I study optimal monetary policy rules in a quantitative heterogeneous agent New Keynesian (HANK) model where inflation has redistributive effects on households through their different (1) consumption baskets, (2) nominal wealth positions, and (3) earnings elasticities to business cycles. I parameterize the model based on the empirical analysis of these channels using the most recent data. Unlike in representative agent models, a utilitarian central bank should adopt an asymmetric monetary policy rule that is accommodative towards inflation and aggressive towards deflation. Specifically, by accommodating stronger demand and higher inflation, the central bank benefits low-income and low-wealth households through nominal debt devaluation and higher earnings growth.

摘要：
The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend of many colleges moving to test-optional, and in some cases test-blind, admissions policies. A frequent claim is that not requiring standardized test scores allows a college to increase the diversity of its student body. This argument is unsatisfying: how can a college make better decisions with less information? Our paper instead argues that test-optional policies may be driven by social pressure on colleges’ admission decisions. We show that, when social pressure is important, a college can use a test-optional policy to reduce its “disagreement cost” with society and obtain a student pool the college prefers. We discuss which students either benefit from or are harmed by a test-optional policy. In an application, we study how a ban on using race in admissions may result in more colleges going test optional or test blind.

摘要：
The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 banned Chinese immigration and institutionalized discrimination against Chinese immigrants in U.S. society. This study examines the impact of institutional discrimination on the assimilation of Chinese immigrants by exploiting the passage of the Act and the state-level variation in the intensity of discrimination, measured by the vote result of the Act and the frequency of anti-Chinese incidents. The difference-in-differences estimates show that discrimination substantially slowed the labor market assimilation of Chinese immigrants in the Exclusion Era (1882-1943) and they responded to discrimination by investing in human capital, improving English skills, and adopting Americanized names. The triple difference estimates show that these responses were significantly stronger in states with a higher share of approval votes on the Act or a higher frequency of anti-Chinese incidents.

摘要：
刚刚在埃及度假胜地沙姆沙伊赫闭幕的COP27峰会一度吸引了全世界的目光。气候、气候变化及其关联的词汇“气候融资、气候灾害、气候损失和损害、气候代价、气候影响、气候资金、气候混乱、气候行动、气候友好型生活方式、气候基金、气候适应，等等”已然成为国际舆论场和气候谈判中的焦点议题。这些议题的背后，引发了对碳中和经济学未来定位与作用的讨论。本讲座将在详细回顾COP27舆情的基础上，结合碳中和经济学的学科内涵和研究方向，分析CBAM、EU ETS和我国碳市场相关进展情况，重点分享主讲人对于碳中和经济学研究如何支撑国家重大战略决策以及碳中和经济学领域今后亟待开展研究的一些具体科学问题的思考。
