Social Division and Preferences for Redistribution

Abstract:&nbsp\;Why is income redistribution almost nonexistent in Sub-Saharan Africa\, despite it being one of the most unequal regions? Rising inequality does not automatically lead to redistributive taxation. The main aim of this study is to identify the key factors that shape individual preference for redistribution policies\, with an emphasis on issues related to social stratification\, such as ethnic favoritism and discrimination. The study relies on data from the 8th round Afrobarometer survey (2019-2022) \, which introduced a range of questions on redistribution.

Tough Talk: The Fed and the Risk Premium

Abstract: We study how monetary policy affects financial risk premia. Unlike existing studies\, we focus on the Federal Open Market Committee’s (FOMC’s) forward-looking policy stance\, beyond the current announcement and macroeconomic forecasts\, which we derive from the policymakers’private deliberations. A more hawkish policymakers’ stance in the FOMC meeting predicts lower risk premia during the intermeeting period. This effect is not explained by the content of the FOMC statement and unfolds gradually after the announcement. We document the importance of intermeeting communication via speeches and minutes to show how communicating forward-looking stance is vital in managing policy-induced risk perceptions.
