Tim PhillipsHOST
So, if you want a head start in life, choose your parents carefully.
Tim PhillipsHOST
In Switzerland, they recently changed the rules and Marius Brühlhardt of the University of Lausanne and CEPR joins me now to tell me about his research into who is now inheriting in Switzerland.
Tim PhillipsHOST
Marius, welcome.
Tim PhillipsHOST
Hello, Tim.

Marius BrülhartGUEST
Been a pleasure.
Marius BrülhartGUEST
Thanks, Tim.
Tim PhillipsHOST
The paper is Discussion Paper 21811 at CEPR, called Will's Inheritance Rules, The Quest Motives and Wealth Diffusion.
Tim PhillipsHOST
And the authors, Marius Brühlhardt and Laia Soler.
CorrineHOST
U.S. pension funds once held close to 40% of their assets in fixed income.
CorrineHOST
though more recently that share has fallen to 10% to 15%, according to a recent report from the Center for Economic Policy Research, a Paris-based group.
CorrineHOST
Pensions in advanced European economies have seen their mix of bonds fall to about 20% from about 35% at the start of the century, the group said.
CorrineHOST
The driver, bonds can't cover pension funds obligations as in the past, pushing them into bigger allocations to private debt, real estate, infrastructure, and other areas.

MaryHOST
But the real news is in the data.
MaryHOST
The CEPR, an important economic research center, has analyzed Swedish start-ups.
MaryHOST
It has discovered that those financed by American capitals record very heavy losses at the beginning, but then generate revenues and attract monstrous investments compared to the others.
JohnHOST
It's the famous AJ curve.
MaryHOST
EQT is a massive Swedish private equity firm.
JohnHOST
Why is this needed? A network of European economists known as CEPR just released a telling analysis.
JohnHOST
They looked at Swedish start-ups.
MaryHOST
The data shows that start-ups backed by United States investors take much deeper losses early on, but they get far more follow-on funding than start-ups with local European backers.
JohnHOST
And speaking of those who suffer the effects, let's look at Italy.
JohnHOST
The CEPR, an important network of European economists, has published a study on the vulnerability of the Italian automotive industry.
MaryHOST
The data are fascinating.
MaryHOST
Only 40% of the value of the sector is generated by direct car manufacturers, the big brands that we all know.
MaryHOST
Finally, a new study reveals hidden risks in Italy's car industry.
JohnHOST
This comes from the CEPR, that is the Centre for Economic Policy Research, a network of top European economists.
MaryHOST
They mapped the Italian auto supply chain.
MaryHOST
They found that only 40% of the sector's value comes directly from the big car manufacturers.
MaryHOST
E infine una buona notizia dalla Francia sul potere dell'informazione.
MaryHOST
Un recente studio pubblicato dal CEPR, una grande rete di economisti europei, ha analizzato cosa succede se dai ai ragazzi delle superiori l'accesso gratuito al quotidiano Le Monde.
JohnHOST
Hanno usato un RCT, cioè uno studio scientifico rigoroso che divide a caso le persone in due gruppi per vedere l'effetto di un'azione.
JohnHOST
Il risultato: l'accesso gratuito ha aumentato enormemente la lettura e la comprensione delle notizie nel lungo periodo.
JohnHOST
A large-scale randomized controlled trial, basically a scientific study where participants are randomly assigned to test groups, gave French high schoolers free access to the newspaper Le Monde.
JohnHOST
The study was run by the CEPR, a major network of European economists.
JohnHOST
They found that free access actually worked.
JohnHOST
It persistently boosted the students' knowledge of the news, especially for kids from disadvantaged backgrounds.
JohnHOST
In the United Kingdom, there is a sea around the Bank of England.
JohnHOST
The CEPR, an important European network of economic researchers, asks the British Central Bank to limit the damage of a policy of recent years, the famous quantitative easing.
MaryHOST
Let's translate it.
MaryHOST
Quantitative easing is when the central bank buys full-fledged state securities to inject fresh money into the economy.
