CoLab Seminar arranged by Department of Economics.";"""Firms Matter: Understanding the Effects of Payroll Tax Reductions for Minimum Wage Workers"" Abstract This paper studies how firms adjust to targeted reductions in payroll taxes for minimum-wage workers. Leveraging reforms in France in the mid-1990s that reduced minimum labor costs by up to 10 percent, I combine linked employer–employee data and balance sheets data to analyze both market-level and firm-level responses. Aggregate minimum-wage employment increases substantially, with an own-cost elasticity of -2. This effect is entirely driven by firms for which the reform barely affected total labor costs. Firms most exposed to the tax cut—those receiving the largest mechanical reduction in labor costs—do not expand minimum-wage employment. Instead, they experience temporary increases in profits and short-run employment growth, particularly when financially con-strained. These findings contradict the predictions of the standard competitive model and suggest that initial input composition and cash constraints mediate labor demand responses. Targeted payroll tax cuts therefore operate not only through relative factor price changes, but also through firm-level balance sheet effects.

Seminar arranged by Finance Research Unit (FRU)";"""High-Frequency Cross-Market Trading: Model-Free Measurement and Testable Implications"" Abstract This paper develops a model-free measurement and inference framework for high-frequency cross-market trading activity and provides empirical evidence of its importance in financial markets. We represent trading activity in two markets as temporal point processes and count the number of time bins in which both processes register activity at a given lag. Under the null of cross-process independence, without global stationarity, a Chen–Stein approximation yields Poisson convergence in total variation for this simple bin-based measure of cross-activity under mild regularity conditions. A local-stationarity framework for marginal intensities, allowing finitely many jumps, then yields a feasible blockwise estimator of the null Poisson mean. The resulting feasible asymptotic theory leads to three easy-to-implement statistical tests for independence at a given lag. It further yields consistent score-driven identification of ependence lags caused by lagged common components in market activity, characteristic of linked order executions across markets. This novel identification framework exploits that common components induce a singular line mass and Poisson score divergence at latency-determined dependence lags. Monte Carlo experiments with nonstationary superpositions of Hawkes processes confirm satisfactory test size, power, and lag-identification performance in finite samples. Empirical validation using transaction data for U.S. Treasury and equity cash-futures markets from 2010 to 2024 reveals sharply localized cross-activity dependencies at lags matching microwave latency, while not rejecting independence at more distant lags. Highfrequency cross-market trading generally intensifies during market stress episodes and exhibits pronounced intraday surges after FOMC announcements, confirming its role in information propagation and efficient price discovery across linked markets.

One set of projects seeks to study the factors that shape the capacity to tax and the choice of tax policy over the long run of development. Ultimately, this line of work aims to shed light on how should, and can, a government go from raising 5-10 percent of GDP in taxes to around 35-40 percent, while encouraging development more broadly. A second line of work consists in working with tax authorities and other government departments in developing countries. The starting point here is the specific structure, policies and issues of a given country. Through close collaborations and the use of large micro-datasets, these projects study what governments can do, given constrained capacity to tax, to incrementally improve tax administration, tax enforcement, tax policy, and tax morale. In this line of work, he is currently collaborating with governments in Ghana, Zambia, Liberia, and Brazil. Anders Jensen received his PhD in Economics from London School of Economics in 2016 and spent one year at NBER as a post-doctoral fellow before joining HKS.

Professor Fuster studies household and real estate finance, banking, and behavioral and experimental economics. He is particularly interested in the effects of technological innovations on household credit markets. For instance, he finds that US Fintech lenders process mortgage applications faster than traditional lenders and can better adjust their processing capacities when faced with a demand shock; their loans also exhibit lower default rates. When considering how machine learning will reshape the mortgage market, he finds that credit risk assessments improve but that the benefits may not accrue to all groups in society equally.
