🌐Global financial markets are becoming increasingly intertwined. ⭐This column analyses the potential spillovers of shocks originating in #China on the financial markets of emerging economies, distinguishing between disturbances stemming from monetary policy and those related to China's macroeconomic developments. ⚠️The findings reveal that macroeconomic disturbances in China have significant lasting effects on financial variables of emerging economies, suggesting that such shocks could influence economic cycles and financial stability in those markets. 📢The findings also offer insights into the transmission of stimulus measures announced by the Chinese authorities to the rest of the world.

❓Sample surveys are a fundamental tool for capturing policy-relevant heterogeneities among agents, especially firms, and are crucial for providing insights into key analytical issues. ⭐This column argues that the digitalisation of information systems, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the growing availability of administrative and big #data offer significant opportunities for improving surveys. ✍️Integrating these data sources with carefully designed sample surveys can enhance their value, particularly in areas like sample selection, weighting, and questionnaire design. 💻Advances in #AI and machine learning also offer potential benefits throughout the survey process, providing promising directions for further exploration and research.

🤖Artificial intelligence has been shown to deliver large performance gains in selected economic activities, but its aggregate impact remains debated. ⭐This column discusses a micro-to-macro framework to assess the aggregate #productivity gains from #AI under different scenarios. 📈AI could contribute between 0.25 and 0.6 percentage points to annual total factor productivity growth in the #US over the next decade. 📚However, highly uneven sectoral productivity gains could reduce aggregate growth, and large aggregate gains will require a productive integration of AI in a wide range of economic activities.

💰The recent surge in the price of #Bitcoin has reignited debates about a #cryptocurrency bubble, many of them based on intuition. ⭐This column takes a formal approach to the beliefs underlying both sides of the debate by introducing a model that builds on the classical framework for rational bubbles. 👉If the price of a cryptocurrency can be justified from transactional demand, it may be a sound investment. 🫧However, if future investment inflows are needed to explain the price, that indicates a bubble, with payoffs resembling a Ponzi scheme.

📲Mobile phone-based extension programmes can be used to disseminate information about modern inputs and management practices to smallholder farmers in low-income countries who would be difficult to reach through in-person visits. ⭐This column reports on an evaluation of six different text message-based agricultural extension programmes that collectively reached over 128,000 farmers in #Kenya and #Rwanda. 👉The findings show that while the impacts of text messages are modest, their low cost means they can be an extremely cost-effective way of influencing individual behaviour.

🔬While conventional wisdom considers #research investment and human capital the wellsprings of #innovation, a more subtle catalyst has perhaps been overlooked... 🏛️The quality of institutions, especially at the regional and local level. ⭐This column exploits the staggered implementation of government agency reforms in #China to examine the impact of institutions on innovation. 👉It finds that the regions which pioneered these reforms have reaped the rewards of reduced bureaucratic friction and enhanced regulatory efficiency, manifesting in marked gains in innovation performance. 📈The dividends of institutional reform are most pronounced in city-regions already endowed with robust innovation infrastructure and intellectual capital.

⚠️To manage the consequences of unexpected shocks, policymakers need to understand how firms respond to such shocks. ⭐This column uses linked, high-frequency survey micro data to analyse the high-dimensional responses of #UK firms to the recent #energy price #shock. 👉It finds that firms adjust along multiple margins, such as passing on costs to prices, building up cash reserves, increasing #debt levels, and shifting towards remote working arrangements. ➡️As governments consider how to support firms during the ongoing energy crisis, the findings indicate that interventions should target firm size and industry needs.

📊Donald Trump’s re-election as president of the United States on 5 November has stirred both optimism and apprehension in global financial markets. ✂️As his administration embarks on a #policy agenda heavily focused on #tax cuts, #trade protectionism, #deregulation, and stricter #immigration policies – collectively known as Agenda 47 – investors and analysts are evaluating the implications for the economy and equity markets. ⭐This column explores the impact of Trump’s victory on financial assets and highlights how political ‘proximity’ to his agenda shaped firm-level returns.

❓The question of why #productivity growth slowed from the early- to mid-2000s continues to interest policymakers, but researchers have paid less attention to the role of human capital accumulation. ⭐This column suggests that one-sixth of the productivity slowdown in OECD countries can be accounted for by slowing human capital accumulation, and that the use of digital devices in school is a major factor in children’s worsening test scores. 👉#Education policy reforms to reverse the trend will play out over long time horizons, but structural reforms to enhance labour market reallocation and adaptability could boost productivity in the shorter term.
