“Rayon X – Lumière sur les scientifiques”

Les vidéos de la série “Rayon X” mettent en lumière des chercheuses et des chercheurs. Car au fond, qui sont les scientifiques ?

En répondant à des questions sérieuses, et à d’autres qui le sont beaucoup moins, ceux-ci démystifient leur travail, la recherche, et évoquent ce qui les anime et leur quotidien (reconnaissance, travail d’équipe, diversité, transmission, confiance, etc.)

Economic Report of the President

In the US, the Economic Report of the President is an annual report written by the Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, which provides an overview of the nation’s economic progress, analyzes current policy issues and makes policy recommendations to the President and Congress. The report is typically released in February and is submitted to Congress in support of the President’s annual budget request.

Ricco’s work recently gained widespread recognition after being published in the ‘Economic Report of the President’ by the White House that cited the work.

Silvia Miranda-Agrippino and Giovanni Ricco. 2021. “The Transmission of Monetary Policy Shocks.” American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics, 13 (3): 74-107

This work has helped in clarifying how monetary policy affects the economy. In particular, the paper showed that the puzzling effects of monetary policy reported in previous studies were due to the so-called “signalling effects” of monetary policy, i.e. the fact that the actions of policymakers can reveal information about their assessments of the economy. A new high-frequency identification for monetary policy shocks was proposed, accounting for informational effects. It was found that a monetary tightening is unequivocally contractionary, with deterioration of domestic demand, labor and credit market conditions as well as of asset prices and agents’ expectations.
