Workshop @ IGIDR: AI and LIS Research" rel="bookmark"> Workshop @ IGIDR: AI and LIS Research
Abstract:- Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing virtually every facet of human activity, and academic research stands at the forefront of this transformation. The integration of AI technologies has led to a paradigm shift in scholarly inquiry, offering unprecedented opportunities to accelerate the research process across various stages, from idea generation and knowledge discovery to data analysis and paper writing. In recognition of this transformative landscape, we are delighted to announce an offline workshop titled “Artificial Intelligence and LIS Research: Implications…
Event DetailsIGIDR Seminar: ” How aggregate electricity demand responds to hourly wholesale price fluctuations “
Abstract:- Electricity needs to be consumed at the very moment of production, leading wholesale prices to fluctuate widely at (sub-)hourly time scales. This article investigates the response of aggregate electricity demand to such price variations. Using wind energy as an instrument, we estimate a significant and robust short-term price elasticity of about −0.05 in Germany and attribute this to industrial consumers. As the share of consumption that is exposed to real-time prices (currently less than 25%) expands, we expect the…

IGIDR Seminar: “Real Effects of Bank Shocks”
Abstract:- What are the effects of bank shocks in an economy featuring bank-firm lending relation- ships and what is the propagation mechanism? This paper builds a dynamic general equi- librium model in which collateral-constrained entrepreneurs have endogenously-persistent credit relationships with banks. A bank shock in this model takes the form of a negative shock to loan repayments and drives up credit spread. Bank credit falls and a downturn in macroeconomic activity ensues. These effects are initially amplified by presence of…
Event DetailsIGIDR Seminar: ” Macroeconomic Effects of Scheduled and Unscheduled Monetary Policy Surprises “
Abstract:- Using measures of monetary policy surprises identified from the Overnight Indexed Swap market in India, this paper documents heterogeneity in the effects of monetary policy surprises on scheduled and unscheduled announcement dates. Higher interest rates on scheduled announcement dates lower stock prices, reduce forecasted and actual output as well as inflation. In contrast, unscheduled monetary policy surprises are predictable by past macroeconomic conditions, raise stock prices, output and inflation on impact. These results are consistent with less precise identification…
Event DetailsIGIDR Seminar: “Caste and the Indian Census: “Old” Questions and “New” Challenges”
Abstract:- Conflicts over access to higher education and public sector employment have intensified amidst the lackluster job growth in the country’s formal sector. These conflicts often involve demands for redesigning affirmative action. The success of the next generation of affirmative action policies will critically depend upon, among other things, the quality of underlying statistics. This talk will assess the quality of census data on Scheduled Castes especially in relation to the demands for their sub-categorization. It will also locate the…

IGIDR Seminar: ” University ambidexterity: assessing the nature of interdependence between knowledge exchange and knowledge creation in UK universities “
Abstract:- The concept of university ambidexterity has been advanced to capture the simultaneous pursuit of exploration (research) and exploitation (knowledge exchange). While ambidexterity can enhance organisational performance, tensions and barriers have been identified suggesting it is far from straightforward to achieve. In light of this, it has been proposed that universities follow a ‘twisting learning path’ that alternates between exploration and exploitation. However, this violates the idea that innovation activities are persistent in nature. In order to assess the nature…
