Panel Data: Study Of Income Inequality In West Sumatra

From a paper by Cintia Darma Yenti, Nathasya , Akmal Yusuf , and Erni Febrina Harahap:

“This research aims to analyze the factors that influence income inequality in West Sumatra Province. Some of the variables that are taken into consideration are: unemployment, education and poverty. The research uses secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), using panel data regression analysis in 19 Regencies/Cities in West Sumatra Province, during 2017-2023. The selected research model uses the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The research results show that: (1) the unemployment variable has a positive and insignificant effect on income inequality, (2) the education variable has a negative and significant effect on income inequality, (3) the poverty variable has a positive and significant effect on income inequality.”

Financial Resilience in an Age of Environmental Change: Central Banks and Financial Regulators Feel the Heat

From a paper by Sunil Sharma:

“Despite over a decade of reforms, financial systems remain fragile, and with the ongoing degradation of the biosphere addressing these fragilities is becoming even more challenging. The green digital transition requires innovation and experimentation. Laws and rules must support competition for novel technologies and solutions, allow for failure, and facilitate re-allocation of labor, real assets, and capital. Hence, the case for robust banks, nonbank financial intermediaries, and market infrastructure is even more urgent and compelling.

Complexity and deep uncertainty characterize the green digital transition and the operation of economic systems. Taking this seriously means recognizing that simpler heuristic approaches may dominate complicated optimization strategies. We must be cognizant of what we know, what we can know over relevant time horizons, and what may be unknowable.

Given the weaknesses of the current approach to financial regulation and oversight, changes in institutional and financial structure should be considered that would reduce the use of “runnable” short-term debt, create more transparency and better incentives for all players, and hence lessen the need for complicated rules, explicit and implicit State guarantees, and interventions in markets.

In an era of chronic and acute disruptions, durable price and financial stability will require not just accounting for financial hazards, but also engaging in promoting a structural transition. With time running out and the world approaching critical ecological thresholds, central banks and financial regulators will have to integrate environmental considerations into their operations and policies and collaborate more closely with other government agencies.

To increase the systemic resilience of the financial sector, the policy essay argues for:

(i) simplicity in prudential rules; (ii) higher buffers in financial institutions; (iii) greater modularity in the structure of the financial system; (iv) better use of market forces and public discipline; and (v) more credible and effective supervision.”

The Determinants of Financial Development: Evidence from Bayesian Model Averaging

From a paper by Roman Horvath, Eva Horvatova, Maria Siranova:

“We examine the determinants of financial development using our global sample and employing different measures of financial development that assess the degree of depth and efficiency of financial intermediaries. We use instrumental variable Bayesian model averaging to test competing theories with this unifying framework. After examining nearly 20 potential determinants of financial development, we find that the rule of law, as well as some of its components, is the most important. In addition, our results suggest that wealth inequality is irrelevant to banking sector development but positively associated with stock market development.”

The journey of inflation targeting in India

From a paper by Radhika Pandey, Ila Patnaik and Rajeswari Sengupta:

“It has been eight years since India adopted the inflation targeting (IT) framework for its monetary
policy. In this paper we present a comprehensive analysis of the IT regime, addressing several critical
aspects. We evaluate the performance of inflation over this period, and review the conduct of monetary
policy during and after the Covid-19 pandemic. We also identify key challenges that persist particularly
in context of the Impossible Trilemma and highlight issues that may require further examination in
order to improve the effectiveness of the IT framework in the future.”
