This week in research #21

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:

  • Cakmakli, Demiralp, and Günes find that political leaders' political commentary affects the level and the volatility of exchange rates, bond yields and the risk premium in Türkiye, while for other countries (Brazil, Colombia, Hungary, New Zealand, and the US) only exchange rate volatility is affected
  • Atay, Asik, and Tumen (open access) find that graduating with an honours degree increases the entry wages of males from non-elite universities (but not elite universities) in Türkiye by about 4% on average, with no effect on female graduates (at either elite or non-elite universities)
  • Taralashvili (open access) finds that interstate soft conflicts (such as diplomatic restraints, renegotiation of relations, protests, or boycotts) have a sustained negative impact on bilateral trade flows, using a gravity model of trade
