The findings show that the sectors on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange are especially integrated at lower frequencies.

This article develops a switching-strategies growth model to study such a stylised fact, allowing for feedback effects between sentiments, environmental regulation and macroeconomic outcomes in an open economy set-up. Conditional on the level of interaction between agents, two locally stable equilibrium points emerge: one with the majority of the population supporting climate change mitigation policies and another with most agents opposing environmental regulation. However, we demonstrate that a sufficiently robust response of sentiments to green house gas emissions may lead to the disappearance of the lower growth “bad” equilibrium, allowing for a unique “green” steady-state. Complex dynamics might occur via a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations. The model provides an endogenous mechanism to explain minor and large fluctuations in public opinion on global warming, in line with the evidence in surveys such as the World Risk Poll. Employment series are more persistent than sentiments, resulting in relatively high volatility in the latter and smooth long-waves in the labour market.","PeriodicalId":45479,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-39"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48523759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper offers pioneer evidence on the persistence of economic sentiment. Applying a battery of fractional integration tests on the European Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) of all individual EU member states, we reveal that ESI is dominantly a long-memory process. This finding is robust across several estimators, and it fairly contradicts the conventional wisdom of ESI as a purely transitory macroeconomic shock. Further on, this is true for both core EU economies and new member states, although the later ones exhibit slightly longer memory. Finally, we reveal that the end of the Great Moderation era has increased ESI's persistence, but the effect is only marginal. As it seems, a series of macroeconomic turbulences recorded after the global financial crisis has not initiated a significant shift in agents' collective memory and ESI will likely keep its pivotal role in governing business cycles in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":45479,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination","volume":"18 2","pages":"371-395"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9514886/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9078575","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the model, agents make rational decisions to vaccinate or not, based on the relative private costs of vaccinations and infections as well as an estimated probability of infection if not vaccinated. The model is a methodological advance in that it provides an economic rationale for traditional threshold models of vaccine decision-making that are commonly used in agent-based network models of vaccine choice. In the model, more dense urban regions have more connections between agents than less dense rural regions. Higher density leads to higher levels of vaccine usage and lower rates of infection in urban regions within the model. This finding adds to the more commonly discussed socio-economic reasons for higher levels of vaccination usage in urban areas compared to rural areas. In addition to this direct contribution, the paper emphasizes the importance of endogenous decision-making in models of epidemiology. For instance, we find that networks that lead to larger epidemics in exogenous vaccination models lead to smaller epidemics in our model because agents use vaccinations to offset the additional risk introduced by these network structures. Endogenous agent responses to risk need to be incorporated into theoretical and empirical models of economic epidemiology.</p>","PeriodicalId":45479,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economic Interaction and Coordination","volume":"18 1","pages":"163-189"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9453713/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10836463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
