Applied Microeconomics

Applied Microeconomics

The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.

The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

Departmental Seminar

- Export as iCalendar
Location: S2.79
by Timothy Besley (Bank of England and LSE), Neil Meads (Bank of England) and Paolo Surico (Bank of England)
Abstract:  This paper constructs a measure of household access to external finance from mortgage data and relates it to household consumption at both the aggregate and cohort levels.  The Household External Finance (HEF) index is based on looking at the spread paid by borrowers in the mortgage market.  There is evidence that access to external finance matters more for the consumption of the younger cohorts in U.K. data.  The results are shown to be robust to a wide variety of specifications.
