Velkommen!

Does access to banking help poor households smooth consumption? 🧐

Tomorrow our Assistant Professor Vincent Somville will give an online faculty seminar at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University 👏

Vincent will present "Access to Banking, Savings and Consumption Smoothing in Rural India", a paper written together with Lore Vandewalle.

Abstract:
Banking is spreading across the world and may transform how households save and consume. Does access to banking help poor households smooth consumption? This critical question remains unanswered. We combine a field experiment that randomly provides access to a bank account, with weekly interviews allowing to measure consumption within households over time. Access to banking does not change the average household savings, expenditures and income, but it improves consumption smoothing. While control households only partially smooth consumption through informal transfers, treated households engage in pro-cyclical saving on their account and smooth consumption more. Whereas previous literature also points to the limited impact of banking on average savings and consumption, our results provide an important new insight on the role of banking in low and middle-income countries.

Best of luck on your presentation Vincent!

Oslo Business School is happy to announce that professors
Christina Nerstad, and Robert Buch, together with professor Anders Dysvik at BI Norwegian Business School ,and Reidar Säfvenbom at Norwegian School of Sport Sciences (NIH), recently contributed to advancing knowledge on the motivational climate (mastery and rivalry climates) and how it relates to individual goal orientation ("I want to improve" vs. "I want to win") over time.

The reserach, now accepted for publication in "Frontiers" (a highly ranked (open access, freely available, soon) journal in Norway; NSD Level 2) is titled:

"Stability of Individuals' Definitions of Success and the Influence of Perceived Motivational Climate: A Longitudinal Perspective."

The researchers wish to thank Anders Sookermany, and Anders Aandstad, and all insitutions and participants involved, for making this longitudinal collaborative research project possible. They humbly acknowledge the need for institutions to cooperate rather than compete with each other, in efforts to advance research fields further, and want to provide a special shout out to "The Norwegian Military Academy", "The Norwegian School of Sport Sciences" (NIH), "Oslo Metropolitan University", and "BI Norwegian Business School", for making this scientific work possible!

The Role of Motivational Climate and Work–Home Spillover for Turnover Intentions."

More information will soon be available by resolving the following DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.01107 / or using this link https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology

Journal of Economic Theory has accepted to publish "Testing, Disclosure and Approval" by Jacopo Bizzotto (with Rudiger and Vigier)

Abstract: Certifier often base their decisions on a mixture of information, some of which is voluntarily disclosed by applicants, and some of which they acquire by way of tests or otherwise. We study the interplay between the information acquisition of certifiers and the information disclosure of applicants. We show that the inability of a certifier er to commit to the amount of information to be acquired can result in a reduction of information disclosed. Among other consequences, given the choice between two information acquisition technologies, the certifier may prefer to commit to the inferior technology, in the sense of being either more expensive or less accurate.

The Journal of Economic Theory publishes original research on economic theory. It is the most general-interest journal among those specializing in...
