2024-04-25 18:00 - 20:00 UTC | ESSEC Business School, 2 Place de la Défense, 92800 Paris, Paris, 92800, France
Have you ever wondered what truly defines entrepreneurship?

The Cash-Flow Channel of Monetary Policy - Evidence from Billions of Transactions - NHH Norwegian School of Economics
2024-04-29 12:15 - 13:15 UTC | NHH Norwegian School of Economics, 30 Helleveien 5045 Bergenhus Norway, 5045, Norway
We present novel findings on the impact of monetary policy on consumer spending behavior using a recently assembled high-frequency household expenditure panel. Leveraging comprehensive weekly electronic transaction-level data for all individuals in Norway in the period 2006-2018, our study sheds light on the high-frequency consumption response to monetary policy through changes in fast moving debt interest expenses.
We employ several identification strategies, including household specific interest rate shocks arising from a natural experiment as well as estimated monetary policy shocks. We find that 100 NOK higher interest expenses lead to around 30 NOK lower consumption on average in the first year, and the effect materializes gradually within the first three months. Our results indicate the presence of a substantial and rapid cash-flow channel of monetary policy.

Economic Statecraft and International Regime Building to Manage AI - Skema Business School
2024-05-14 12:00 - 13:00 UTC | Skema Business School Grand Paris
The rise of new economic statecr​aft with intervention by governments to regulate investment and trade behind the border, at the border, and beyond the border continues to create tension in the global economy across a host of sectors. In particular, national governments are increasingly focused on the regulation of artificial intelligence.

For its part, the EU has also taken a leadership role in developing AI regulation, despite being behind the U.S and China in terms of development of the industry.

Speaker : Prof. Vinod K. Aggarwal , Distinguished Professor and Alann P. Bedford Chair in Asian Studies, Political Science; Affiliated Professor, Haas School of Business; Director, Berkeley APEC Study Center – University of California at Berkeley.

Will AI reduce or reinforce inequality in language learning? - Hult International Business School
2024-05-15 14:00 - 15:00 UTC | Online Event
AI’s role in language learning

In the AI-powered evolution of language learning, it would be easy to overlook the impact artificial intelligence could have on inclusion and equality. For decades, the demand for ‘native’ teachers has dominated the conversation between students and language providers. Learners have come to recognize the valuable experience that ‘non-native’ speakers can share with them, but now the question isn’t whether you want a native or a non-native teacher – it’s whether you want a human at all.
We recently reported on how AI is enhancing language learning for students and teachers alike. Now, we explore some of the DEIB issues that often go overlooked in language learning, how AI is already impacting inclusion, and its potential to reduce or reinforce inequalities.

The Global Research Conference on Caste, Business and Society - University of Bath School of Management
2024-06-19 - 2024-06-21 | University of Bath, University of Bath Claverton Down Bath BA2 7AY United Kingdom, United Kingdom
Caste is a socio-cultural system that affects over two billion people in South Asia and the global South Asian diaspora by placing individuals on an arbitrarily determined social hierarchy that provides them with unequal rights and privileges. Despite its pervasive influence in all spheres of social and economic life of caste-practising individuals, caste has only recently received serious attention in scholarly work in management and organisation studies.
This conference attempts to create a platform that can bring scholars studying caste in contexts of work and business together to share latest research, help one another to develop ideas, and create new collaborations.
The conference will begin with a keynote session by a leading international scholar, followed by a series of research sessions where scholars will present their work for feedback, early-career development sessions and plenary sessions that bring together the day’s threads of conversation. There will also be many networking opportunities.
Registration will open on Friday 5 April 2024.
There will be a limited number of hybrid sessions for those who cannot travel.
