From a blank canvas to a beautiful hand-illustrated mural.
Hear how Adam Smith Business School’s James Murray created an incredible mural that features our namesake, Adam Smith and the iconic landmarks of Glasgow.

Lots of research has gone into figuring out how sell side analysis (ie in IBES) form expectations. But if you read the reports, it turns out they forecast earnings per share and slap on a trailing P/E multiple

What's the mechanism linking common ownership to anticompetitive outcomes?
There's Antón et al (JPE 2023), but here's another:
Common owners exert monopsony power over labor by reducing aggregate investment and thereby transfer wealth to shareholders.

As inflation surged post-pandemic, the prices of the cheapest products grew 1.3 to 1.9 times faster than those of premium products.
We coined the term "cheapflation" to highlight this disparity, which is present in many countries, including the US (shown below)
Our results imply a higher inflationary burden on lower-income households and bargain shoppers who tried to save money during the surge.
For more details, check out our new NBER working paper with Oleksiy Kryvtsov at @bankofcanada.

Why don’t more households participate in the stock market? The two reasons often cited in the literature are risk aversion and frictions that prevent participation, such as the cost of maintaining a brokerage account or of paying attention to the markets.
