| Abstract: | As trade tensions between the US and China ratchet up and spur a wholesale transformation of global supply chains, structural changes to the trade relationship between South Korea and China have become inevitable. This is likely to be most pronounced in high-tech industries, such as semiconductors, batteries, and pharmaceuticals, where there is already a well-established cross-border division of labor. In this paper, we analyze the structure of Korea-China supply chains with respect to the three high-tech industries listed above. We find that Korean semiconductor, battery, and pharmaceutical companies all rely heavily on China for materials. Korean firms source key intermediates and parts and use China as a base for entering other countries, and together these factors constitute the primary driving force underpinning Korea’s high dependency on Chinese suppliers. In this paper, we argue that Korean industries need to internalize and diversify their supply chains to reduce their dependency on Chinese materials while also seeking out new models of cooperation to capitalize on Chinese infrastructure, technology, and markets as well as Chinese companies’ growing interest in using Korea as a production base. |

| Abstract: | In a context of increased milk price volatility and dairy farm modernization, our study aims to shed light on whether the costs associated with the financial investments made when acquiring technologies and their maintenance costs exacerbate the damage suffered when the price becomes volatile, or whether the expected productivity gains actually help to cope with this market hazard. To do this, we distinguish three farm categories according to three separate variables that approximate the level of technological tools used. Then, we estimate the variation in the level of viability of each group when price volatility changes. We apply fixed effect ordered logistic regression on data gathered from the French farm accountancy data network from 2002 to 2020. Sample is divided into three categories according to their levels of intensification and use of technological tools. We estimated separately the viability models of each category to check for heterogeneity. Our results show positive roles of low intensification and moderate use of technological equipment in mitigating the impact of an increase of milk price volatility on dairy farm viability. These contribute to provide insights on farmers’ coping strategies effectiveness and the extent to which modernization is advantageous. |

| Abstract: | Recognizing the profound influence of geopolitical risks and world uncertainty on financial investment behaviour, this study uses a comprehensive approach to assess the impact of rising geopolitical risk on sovereign debt holdings for a panel of 24 OECD economies from Q1 2004 to Q4 2023. To do so, we employ Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) fixed effects and Quantile Regression techniques within a panel data framework to capture the nuanced effects on both domestic and foreign entities. We find that escalating geopolitical tension decreases government debt holdings among domestic entities, notably domestic Banks, while foreign investors increase their ownership. This phenomenon is more pronounced for high proportion levels of debt in investor’s portfolios. Our results allow us to conclude that while domestic economic agents display clearer risk aversion, foreign economic agents have a more risk-taking behaviour in what concerns the financial investment on government debt. |

| Abstract: | This paper discusses the adoption of a green ammonia economy in meeting challenges in China's sustainable development. First, key challenges in China's energy transition, industry decarbonziation and regional sustainable development are explored. The coal-dominated energy consumption has placed great obstacles in achieving energy transition and led to massive CO2 emission since the large-scale industrialization. The high dependency on oil and gas import has threatened the energy security. A DEA model is applied for obtaining green total factor productivities of China's six administrative regions, with which, imbalanced and unsustainable regional development is identified. Second, the role of green ammonia in meeting the sustainability challenges is analysed. Ammonia is examined to be a flexible and economic option for large-scale hydrogen transport and storage. Co-firing ammonia in coal power generation at 3% rate is evaluated as an option for achieving low-carbon transition by 2030. The adoption of a green ammonia economy in China is discussed from energy, environmental and economic aspects. The practice can decline fossil energy consumption, enhance energy security, and facilitate renewable energy delivery and storage, industry decarbonization, and regional development. We assume the findings and results contribute to addressing sustainability challenges and realizing a hydrogen economy in China. |

| Abstract: | This study examines the elasticity of beverage demand from theoretical and empirical perspectives, focusing on who to buy for. The results of the theoretical analysis indicate that the more altruistic the purchaser, the more elastic the demand for self and the more inelastic the demand for family. We also estimated the EASI demand system using unique purchase history data for Japanese consumers, which records the purchase intention of each food item. The results suggest that when prices and expenditures change, some people reduce their own purchases and increase or keep constant purchases for their families. This indicates that policies based on the elasticity of the purchaser's demand may have a negligible effect on the purchaser's family or the opposite effect. It is also found that the expenditure elasticity of demand for the whole family is smaller for those living with children and more significant for those living with the elderly. Furthermore, the results reveal that both demand for self and sharing are more elastic to changes in expenditures for male purchasers than for female purchasers. These results suggest that the desired policy focusing on dietary improvement depends on who in the household is targeted. |

| Abstract: | We propose a constrained generalized method of moments estimator (GMM) incorporating theoretical conditions for the unique existence of equilibrium prices for estimating conduct parameters in a log-linear model with homogeneous goods markets. First, we derive such conditions. Second, Monte Carlo simulations confirm that in a log-linear model, incorporating the conditions resolves the problems of implausibly low or negative values of conduct parameters. |

| Abstract: | Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), also referred to as ridehailing companies, have experienced rapid growth in the past decade. This report focuses on the quickly evolving transportation patterns resulting from the adoption of ridehailing as part of the efforts accompanying the implementation of the Clean Miles Standard (CMS) regulation. Based on the analysis of survey data collected in four California metropolitan regions before the COVID-19 pandemic, this report summarizes the findings from three studies, focusing on (1) the use of ridehailing among traveler groups with different multimodal travel patterns, (2) the substitution of ridehailing for other modes, and travel induced by ridehailing, and (3) the use of pooled ridehailing services, in which multiple passengers share the same vehicle for all or a portion of their trips. The results from these analyses reveal that transit users are more likely to be ridehailing users. Individuals without a household vehicle and identifying with an underrepresented minority group are more likely to use ridehailing for essential (rather than for discretionary trip) purposes. Over 50% of the ridehailing trips replaced a transit, active, or carpooling trip, or created new vehicle miles. Lower-income individuals, people of color, females, and younger individuals are more likely to choose pooled ridehailing over the single-user ridehailing service. Trips that originate in high-density areas are also more likely to be pooled. Furthermore, being a frequent ridehailing user is associated with greater use of pooled ridehailing, whereas not having to pay for a trip (e.g., a work-related trip paid for by an employer) reduces the likelihood of pooling. |

| Abstract: | Objectives: Consideration of future consequences (CFC) distinguishes individuals who adopt behaviors based on immediate needs and concerns from individuals who consider the future consequences of their behaviors. We aimed to assess the association between CFC and diet, and testing the mediating role of food choice motives on this relationship. Design: Individuals (age≥18 years) completed the CFC-12 questionnaire in 2014, at least three 24-h dietary records, and a food choice motive questionnaire. A multiple mediator analysis allowed to assess the mediating effect of food choice motives on the cross-sectional association between CFC and diet, adjusted for socio-demographic factors. Setting: Data from the NutriNet-Santé cohort study. Participants: 27, 330 participants. Results: CFC was associated with all food choice motives (P < 0.001), with the strongest positive associations for avoidance for environmental reasons, absence of contaminants and health motives, and the strongest negative associations for innovation and convenience). Positive total effects were found between CFC and the consumption of healthy food groups (fruits and vegetables, whole-grain foods, legumes); and negative total effects for alcohol, meat and poultry and processed meat (P < 0.001). CFC was positively associated with diet quality (P < 0.001). Across food groups, major mediators of these relationships were higher health (8.4-32.6%), higher environmental (13.7-22.1 %) and lower innovation (7.3-25.1 %) concerns. Conclusions: CFC was associated with healthier dietary intake, essentially mediated by a greater motivation of future-oriented participants for self-centered and altruistic outcomes, including health and environment. Focusing on the awareness of future benefits in public health interventions might lead to healthier dietary behaviors. |

| Abstract: | Croatia is the newest euro area (EA) member. Following a very strong recovery in 2021–22, growth moderated to 3.1 percent in 2023, still among the highest in the EA. Inflation has decelerated considerably since early 2023 but remains above the EA average, while the labor market remains tight. Growth is expected to stay robust in 2024–25, led by strengthening household real incomes and investment supported by EU funds. Inflation is expected to gradually approach 2 percent in late 2025. Risks to the outlook are broadly balanced. Subdued productivity and labor shortages are the main obstacles to potential growth. |

| Abstract: | Being uninvolved in day-to-day management of a company, Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) are arguably well-suited to oversee the drive for more sustainable business practices. Our study explores the correlation between the professional capital of NEDs and ESG performance for a sample of FTSE-350 listed companies spanning the years 2012 to 2022. Our findings reveal that board connectedness, particularly the simultaneous presence on boards of companies exhibiting superior ESG performance, significantly influences a company's overall ESG score. Our results highlight the relevance of board capital on corporate ESG performance, with practical implications for corporate governance. |

| Abstract: | We propose a two-step approach to estimate multi-dimensional monetary policy shocks and their causal effects requiring only daily financial market data and policy events. First, we combine a heteroscedasticity-based identification scheme with recursive zero restrictions along the term structure of interest rates to disentangle multi-dimensional monetary policy shocks and derive an instrumental variables estimator to estimate dynamic causal effects. Second, we propose to use the Kalman filter to compute the linear minimum mean-square-error prediction of the unobserved monetary policy shocks. We apply the approach to examine the causal effects of US monetary policy on the exchange rate. The heteroscedasticity-based monetary policy shocks display a relevant correlation with existing high-frequency surprises. In addition, their dynamic causal effects on the exchange rate are similar. This suggests the approach is a valid alternative if high-frequency identification schemes are not applicable. |

| Abstract: | This paper presents novel causal evidence on the effects of pro-natalist cash transfers on fertility, sex ratio at birth, and infant health. In the context of South Korea, I exploit rich spatial and temporal variation in cash transfers provided to families with newborn babies and the universe of birth-, death-, and migrant-registry records. I find that the total fertility rate in 2015 would have been 4.7% lower without the cash transfers. Surprisingly, the cash transfers had an unintended consequence of correcting the unnaturally male-skewed sex ratio at birth. The cash transfers led to reductions in gestational age and birth weight, but no change in early-life mortality. A rich heterogeneity analysis suggests that negative selection into childbearing may explain the health effects and that cash transfers may increase birth weight for low-income families. |

| Abstract: | Bu çalıÅŸmada, Türkiye ekonomisinin geçmiÅŸi devlet-piyasa ekseninde ve Cumhuriyet’in ilk yüzyılını kapsayan uzun bir dönemde incelendikten sonra, 2020’lerin ikinci yarısında geliÅŸtirilip 2030’larda uygulanabilecek ve yeni bir ‘siyasal-iktisat tarzı’ olarak da anlaÅŸılabilecek bir proaktif popülizm gündemi önerilmektedir. Böyle bir gündem ülke tarihinin herhangi bir evresinde daha önce benimsenip uygulanmadığı için söz konusu önerinin ana çerçevesi de çalıÅŸmada ortaya konmaktadır. Bu çerçevede, uzun dönemli ekonomik büyüme olanaklarının geniÅŸ toplum kesimlerinin lehine yeniden düzenlenmesi öngörülmekte, dıÅŸa bağımlı geliÅŸme ‘doğal’ değil ‘sorunsal’ bir olgu olarak saptanmakta ve gerek ‘makroekonomik temkin’ gerekse ‘kurumsal geliÅŸme’ meselelerinin önemsenmesi gerektiği vurgulanmaktadır. Proaktif popülizmin Türkiye için orijinal bir gündem önerisi ve yeni bir siyasaliktisat tarzı olarak oluÅŸturulmasında üç baÅŸat siyasal-iktisadi katkıdan yararlanılmaktadır: (i) Ziya ÖniÅŸ ve Fikret Åženses’in ‘proaktif devlet-reaktif devlet’ ayrımı, (ii) Korkut Boratav’ın ‘popülizm’ olgusuna sınıfsal bakıÅŸ açısı ve (iii) Dani Rodrik’in ‘makroekonomik istikrar’, ‘ekonomik küreselleÅŸme’ ve ‘popülizm’ arasındaki iliÅŸkileri ele almaya yönelik yaklaÅŸımı. Popülizmin ‘klasik’ varyantları ile proaktif popülizm arasındaki temel fark, ikincisinin ‘makroekonomik temkin’ ve ‘kurumsal geliÅŸme’ meselelerini göz ardı etmeyerek bunları sistemik ve sınıfsal olgular olarak değerlendirmesidir. Dolayısıyla bu çalıÅŸma, karma ekonomi ile neoliberalizmi ‘yarıÅŸtırmanın’ ötesine geçmek üzere, 21. Yüzyılda da ‘az geliÅŸmiÅŸlik’ sorunlarıyla yüzleÅŸmeyi sürdüren Türkiye’de yakın gelecekte etkinleÅŸtirilebilecek bu yeni siyasal-iktisat tarzını tartıÅŸmaya açmayı amaçlamaktadır. |

| Abstract: | Transforming the single point Energy Price Cap into a variable (or sliding) price cap where the price per unit of energy used increases with usage would help solving the cost-of-living crisis, according to latest research by the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR). The effect of such sliding price cap would be to reduce energy bills for lower-income households in the country while higher earners, who consume more energy, bear a commensurate share of the higher costs. As energy use is strongly correlated with household income, making units of energy more expensive for those who use it the most affects higher-income households while making usage cheaper for lower-income households. When compared to other policy proposals – specifically freezing energy bills – our proposal has a number of advantages. First of all, it is more cost effective as freezing energy bills has been predicted to cost around £100bn over the winter period. Although there is evidence to suggest that such a substantial approach is affordable, we propose a way to achieve the same goal without such a cost to the Exchequer and ultimately the taxpayer. |

| Abstract: | Since the 2000s, economists across fields have increasingly used consumer credit reporting data for research. We introduce readers to the economics of and the institutional details of these data. Using examples from the literature, we provide practical guidance on how to use these data to construct economic measures of borrowing, consumption, credit access, financial distress, and geographic mobility. We explain what credit scores measure, and why. We highlight how researchers can access credit reporting data via existing datasets or by creating new datasets, including by linking credit reporting data with surveys and external datasets. |

| Abstract: | With an aging state population, it is crucial to understand the factors that contribute to road safety among adults aged 65 and older and identify at-risk neighborhoods for targeted interventions. In this context, this report analyzes fatal and serious injury (FSI) trends and patterns among aging road users, including older pedestrians and bicyclists, with a focus on identifying neighborhoods at risk for crashes based on senior FSI rates. 2178 census tracts (32.7%) were deemed as being potential at-risk neighborhoods, as they all exceeded the state average senior FSI rate of 120 per 100, 000 individuals (0.12%). The report also discusses factors that contribute to road safety among older adults, including physical changes associated with aging and the impact of new mobility technologies. By identifying at-risk neighborhoods and exploring factors that contribute to senior road safety, this report aims to inform targeted interventions to improve road safety for older adults. |

| Abstract: | This paper provides new evidence on the globalization‒poverty nexus. We innovate by using an indicator of globalization in the food sector, finding evidence of a significantly aggravating impact on poverty prev-alence, adding to earlier studies that use indicators of general globalization. The opening of food markets since the mid-1990s in Latin America might have accounted for approximately 2 additional percentage points of the population living below the absolute poverty line of $2 a day in our sample. |
