Warwick Economics Lecture with Dr Thomas Curran
The Department of Economics are delighted to announce Dr Thomas Curran, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science at LSE and author of The Perfection Trap, as the final speaker in our Warwick Economics Lecture series for the academic year.
'The Perfection Trap'
Date: Friday 26 April
Time: 3 - 4pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: OC0.03This event is for students and staff only and registration is required in order to attend.
Christian Soegaard will introduce the speaker and chair the session. You will have the opportunity to ask questions in a Q&A at the end of the lecture, as well as network at our drinks reception in the Oculus foyer after the lecture has taken place.
About the Lecture
This talk will be about the trap of perfectionism. Thomas will discuss the overzealous hypercriticality that germinates in a society that always wants more, and how, while perfectionism ostensibly seeks to improve us, it ultimately leads to hugely negative consequences for our personal wellbeing, performances, and the welfare of our communities at large. If you've ever wondered what's the matter with perfectionism, or why it seems to be the defining characteristic of our times, this talk is for you.
About the Speaker
Dr Thomas Curran is a world-leading expert on perfectionism, author of the best-selling book The Perfection Trap, and acclaimed associate professor of psychology at the London School of Economics and Political Science. His TED Talk on perfectionism has received over three million views, he has written for major international publications such as TIME magazine and the Harvard Business Review, and his work has been featured in the BBC, New Scientist, New York Times, CNN, and Wall Street Journal.

Abstract: Due to data limitations, long-run changes in women’s economic mobility are not well understood. Using a set of marriage certificates from Massachusetts over the period of 1850-1920, we link women and men to their childhood and adult census records to obtain a measure of occupational standing across two generations. Intergenerational mobility was higher for women than for men in the earliest 1850-70 cohort. Men’s mobility increases by the 1880-1900 cohort, whereas women’s does not, leading to a convergence. During a period with low married women’s labor force participation, the choice of a partner was crucial for women’s economic status. We find evidence of strong and increasing assortative matching prior to 1880, followed by declines to the 1900-20 cohort. Absent the increase in marital sorting, married women would have experienced the same increases in intergenerational mobility as did men in the sample. Finally, both men and women in the youngest cohort experience an increase in mobility and decreases in marital sorting, consistent with the widespread expansion of educational attainment during the “High School Movement."

Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture with Andrew Oswald
The Department of Economics are delighted to host our first public lecture in the Faculty of Social Science's lecture series with Andrew Oswald, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science.
Societal Unhappiness and the Uncertain Future of Democracy
Date: Tuesday 30 April
Time: 5.30-6.30pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: FAB0.03This event is open to the public.
About the Talk
Mental health and happiness are worsening through time in the United States*. Approximately 40% of citizens in Western Europe today report high levels of worry, and there is a continuing upward trend in ‘national worry’. These trends were visible before COVID, the invasion of Ukraine, and the conflict in Gaza, showing that something foundational and unrealised is happening within Western society. Measured levels of trust are declining quickly.
Andrew Oswald will discuss the nature of these concerning issues, exploring why an unhappy population puts a country's faith in government and the future of democracy at risk. He will leave plenty of time for questions and open discussion.
This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, where you will have the opportunity to meet the speaker.

ABSTRACT: We know that managers matter but we do not know how to prospectively identify good managers. We demonstrate the potential of using repeated random assignment to identify the causal contribution managers make to teams, and the measurable skills associated with this. We randomly assign managers to multiple teams, and predict team performance based on the team’s endowment of productive skill. Some managers consistently cause their teams to exceed predicted performance. Managerial skills are roughly as important to team outcomes as worker productivity. Good managers score higher on measures of allocative skill, and there are no differences in managerial skill across gender, age and ethnicity. We experimentally evaluate different methods of manager selection. People who select into managerial roles are typically not better managers than those appointed by lottery. However, selecting managers based on allocative skill dramatically improves team performance.

Abstract: What makes diversity unifying in some settings but divisive in others? We examine how the mixing of ethnic groups in German schools affects intergroup cooperation and trust. We leverage the quasi-random assignment of students to classrooms within schools to obtain variation in the type of diversity that prevails in a peer group. We combine this with a large-scale, incentivized lab-in-field-experiment based on the investment game, allowing us to assess the in-group bias of native German students in their interactions with fellow natives (in-group) versus immigrants (out-group). We find in-group bias peaks in culturally polarized classrooms, where the native and immigrant groups are both large, but have different religious or language backgrounds. In contrast, in classrooms characterized by non-cultural polarization, fractionalization, or a native supermajority, there are significantly lower levels of own-group favoritism. We find empirical evidence that culturally polarized classrooms foster negative stereotypes about immigrants' trustworthiness and amplify taste-based discrimination, both of which are costly and lead to lower payouts. In contrast, accurate statistical discrimination is ruled out by design in our experiment. Consistent with a simple model, discrimination in culturally polarized classrooms is associated with lower levels of intergroup friendship and larger identity gaps. Taken together, these findings suggest that extra efforts are needed to counteract low levels of inclusivity and trust in culturally polarized environments.

Driving change in the UK bus network: Lessons from London
The number of people taking the bus in the UK is declining almost universally. London is no exception, though its franchise system sees significantly more bus travel per person than any other area – over 250 journeys per year.
There are a host of reasons why policymakers should be getting on board with investing across the UK’s bus networks. Bus travel remains essential to preserving free movement throughout the UK and investment in bus infrastructure can ease congestion in cities and contribute to the transition to net-zero.
The government has recently announced the first steps in its ‘bus revolution’. Plans include offering support to local authorities and metropolitan mayors who want to create London-style franchised services. In October 2019, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority began its journey towards a franchised system.
But can this work for the rest of the UK? And what considerations are needed to make bus franchising a success outside the capital? Join Mike Waterson to discuss at this CAGE event in collaboration with the Social Market Foundation.

Faculty of Social Sciences Public Lecture with Andrew Oswald
The Department of Economics are delighted to host our first public lecture in the Faculty of Social Science's lecture series with Andrew Oswald, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science.
Societal Unhappiness and the Uncertain Future of Democracy
Date: Tuesday 30 April
Time: 5.30-6.30pm followed by a short drinks reception
Location: FAB0.03This event is open to the public.
About the Talk
Mental health and happiness are worsening through time in the United States*. Approximately 40% of citizens in Western Europe today report high levels of worry, and there is a continuing upward trend in ‘national worry’. These trends were visible before COVID, the invasion of Ukraine, and the conflict in Gaza, showing that something foundational and unrealised is happening within Western society. Measured levels of trust are declining quickly.
Andrew Oswald will discuss the nature of these concerning issues, exploring why an unhappy population puts a country's faith in government and the future of democracy at risk. He will leave plenty of time for questions and open discussion.
This lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, where you will have the opportunity to meet the speaker.
*Trends in Extreme Distress in the United States, American Journal of Public Health, 2020,110, 1538-1544.
*Unhappiness and Pain in Modern America, Journal of Economic Literature, 2019, 57, 385-402.About the Speaker
Andrew Oswald is Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science at the University of Warwick. He has worked at Warwick for three decades. Recently, Andrew has been appointed Chair of a new Network Advisory Panel of the IZA Institute of Labour Economics in Bonn, Germany. His research is principally in applied economics and quantitative social science.
Since 2010 he has served on the board of reviewing editors of the journal Science. Andrew Oswald's recent work has included research on the behavioural science of climate change.Registration

Abstract: Due to data limitations, long-run changes in women’s economic mobility are not well understood. Using a set of marriage certificates from Massachusetts over the period of 1850-1920, we link women and men to their childhood and adult census records to obtain a measure of occupational standing across two generations. Intergenerational mobility was higher for women than for men in the earliest 1850-70 cohort. Men’s mobility increases by the 1880-1900 cohort, whereas women’s does not, leading to a convergence. During a period with low married women’s labor force participation, the choice of a partner was crucial for women’s economic status. We find evidence of strong and increasing assortative matching prior to 1880, followed by declines to the 1900-20 cohort. Absent the increase in marital sorting, married women would have experienced the same increases in intergenerational mobility as did men in the sample. Finally, both men and women in the youngest cohort experience an increase in mobility and decreases in marital sorting, consistent with the widespread expansion of educational attainment during the “High School Movement."
