    Considering that it is imperative to provide reliable, comprehensive and timely data that serve as a basis to determine the priorities of national and sub-national action aimed at the prevention and elimination of child labour, the ILO Regional Office for the Americas promoted an alliance with the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) in order to jointly generate tools and knowledge that enable the timely identification of children and adolescents who are on the path towards child labour. From this alliance, a tool with two methodologies emerged: the Child Labour Risk Identification Model and the Child Labour Vulnerability Index, which, although with differences, allow —based on the statistical information existing in the countries— to identify the territories in which there is greater probability or vulnerability of child labour and estimate the weight of various risk indicators in the territories, in order to define which multi-sectoral actions are most relevant in them to interrupt the development of child labour. This would enable countries, both at the national and sub-national levels, to have reliable information to design focused and articulated responses, improve the performance and effectiveness of public policies, advance in the achievement of national goals, and contribute to achievement of the global commitments assumed. Introduction .-- 1. Child and adolescent labour in Latin America and the Caribbean .-- 2. Factorsassociated with child and adolescent labour .-- 3. Child labour measurement and its information sources .-- 4. Proposals for child labour risk estimate at the local level .-- 5. Conclusions.

    We leverage the small open economy Switzerland as a testing ground for basic premises of macroeconomic models of endogenous information acquisition, using tailored surveys of firms and households. First, we show that firms perceive a greater exposure to exchange rate movements than households, which is reflected in higher levels of information acquisition and less dispersed beliefs about past and future exchange rate realizations. Similarly, within the two samples, acquisition of exchange rate information strongly increases in various proxies for stake size. Second, households who perceive higher costs of acquiring or processing information acquire less information. Finally, an exogenous increase in the perceived uncertainty of the exchange rate increases firms’ demand for a report about exchange rate developments, but not households'. Our findings inform the modeling of information frictions in macroeconomics.

    The amount of credit in the economy is a heterogeneous aggregate that can be analyzed across different dimensions. Considering such dimensions provides insights into the effect of monetary policy interventions because the credit components are observed to respond differently. Several possible motivations are behind such a differential response and those relate to either demand and supply factors intrinsic to the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. Our objective is to unveil such a differential response across a couple of relevant dimensions and discuss the possible causes behind what observed. The analysis refers to the US and is based on a vector auto-regression estimated using Bayesian techniques and identified with a combination of sign and zero-restrictions.

    This paper investigates the potentially non-linear relation between households' indebtedness and their consumption between 2010 and 2014 in Belgium, using panel data from the two waves of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey. Unlike previous studies, we find a negative effect of households' indebtedness on their consumption, even in the absence of negative shock on their assets. Our findings suggest that, without such a shock, it is the day-to-day sustainability of the debt, rather than its overall sustainability, that leads households to reduce their consumption. We perform as well a threshold analysis, whose results suggest that households should not have a debt-service-to-income ratio greater than 30%. The effect appears to be robust to various specifications, to result from a trade-off between housing and consumption, and to be more prevalent among more fragile households.

    We leverage survey data from Germany, Italy, and the US to document several novel stylized facts about the extent of information frictions among firms and households. First, firms’ expectations about the central bank policy rate, inflation, and aggregate unemployment are more aligned with expert forecasts and less dispersed than households’. Second, there is substantially more heterogeneity in information frictions within households than within firms. Third, consistent with firms having stronger priors, they update their policy rate expectations significantly less compared to households when provided with an expert forecast. Our results have important implications for modeling heterogeneity in macroeconomic models.

    We use a large, randomized field experiment that exogenously varies prices to test their effect on consumption. Full information is available at zero costs. However, households state prices that are, on average, ten times larger than actual. But ignorant households cannot react to prices and so the price mechanism becomes dysfunctional. Our results explain small or zero price effects from previous research. We show that researchers must provide evidence for a functional price mechanism before ascribing causal effects or risk biased conclusions. The same applies to price instruments that are often regarded as first best solutions.

    I develop a model of the consumer good market where the individual's search decision is consistent with balanced-growth preferences. Here, optimal search is independent of income but increases with the time endowment. I characterize the potentially multiple equilibria and test whether the model can replicate differences in observed shopping behavior between employed and unemployed individuals. I use the American Time Use Survey to show that unemployed individuals have almost 50% more time available for leisure and shopping and spend 27% more time shopping than the employed. In the calibrated model, however, unemployed individuals will spend around twice as much time shopping as employed individuals. I argue that micro founded goods search models are not yet ready for business cycle analysis and discuss ways of reconciling the model with the data.
