SUMMARY:Lecture: Joris Muller:  Public Displays of Alignment
DESCRIPTION:Development Economics Seminar (in person) — Joris Mueller\nThe next Development Economics Seminar will take place in person. \nDate: Monday\, 23 FebruaryTime: 14:00–15:00Location: Historical Observatory (Göttingen) \nSpeaker: Joris Mueller (National University of Singapore)Title: Public Displays of Alignment \nLunch (for participants in Göttingen)\nEveryone present in Göttingen is welcome to join for lunch before the seminar.Meeting point: 11:30\, Z-Mensa entrance hall(Please note the different time and location compared to the seminar.) \n\nOnline participation (Zoom)\nTo participate virtually\, please log in here: [Zoom link]Meeting ID: 696 4196 8262Passcode: 869651 \n\nOffice hours & dinner (sign-up required)\nThe speaker will be available for further discussion during office hours after the seminar.A joint dinner with the speaker will also take place on the day of the seminar. \nTo participate in office hours and/or dinner\, please sign up with your name and email address here. \n\nAbstract\nThis paper studies corporate public alignment: firm communication that echoes the rhetoric of an autocratic regime. A theoretical model is developed in which public alignment supports political risk-sharing between firms and the regime. By tying their payoffs to the regime’s\, aligned firms credibly commit to undertake costly\, regime-favored actions in adverse states; in return\, the regime becomes less likely to expropriate them. \nAn empirical measure of public alignment is constructed using a replicable index based on regime-specific phrases in annual reports and applied to Chinese listed firms. The results support the model’s predictions and its key assumption that alignment links firm and regime payoffs: more aligned firms undertake more regime-favored actions during periods of unrest and earn lower profits\, while alignment increases when expropriation risk rises. These findings hold after controlling for other forms of state proximity (such as state ownership\, political connections\, and Party cells) and are difficult to reconcile with alternative explanations such as cheap talk or simple patronage. \n\nPractical notes for Zoom participants\nPlease install and test Zoom beforehand. During the presentation\, microphones should remain muted. Questions can be indicated via the “raise hand” function (under “Participants”). To reduce bandwidth issues\, please close unneeded applications and disable HD video if possible. \n\nThe updated seminar schedule can always be found here: [Seminar schedule link]Mailing list subscription/unsubscription is available here: [Mailing list link]

SUMMARY:Lecture: “What Kind of Innovation is e-CNY?” by Karman Lucero (Yale Law School)\, 21 April 2026\, 16:30 (KWZ 0.608)
DESCRIPTION:Lecture: “What Kind of Innovation is e-CNY?” by Karman Lucero (Yale Law School)\, 21 April 2026\, 16:30 (KWZ 0.608)\n \nE-CNY: China’s Digital Currency\n\nTitle: E-CNY: China’s Digital Currency\nDate: 21. April 2026\, 16:30 Uhr\nRoom: KWZ 0.608\nSpeaker: Karman Lucero (Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center) \n\n\nTitle: “What kind of innovation is e-CNY?”\n\nAbout the speaker:\nKarman Lucero is a Senior Fellow at Yale Law School’s Paul Tsai China Center. His research focuses on China’s governance of emerging technologies\, particularly artificial intelligence\, AI governance in the U.S.\, global AI governance\, and U.S.-China relations. He has organized multiple ongoing Track 1.5 and Track 2 dialogues that bring together academic and private sector experts as well as policy makers in the U.S. and China to address topics pertaining to domestic and transnational AI governance. He has published op-eds and public-facing scholarship in The Global Law Review\, The Republic\, The South China Morning Post\, Project Syndicate\, Lawfare\, and elsewhere. Further\, he has advised policy makers in the U.S.\, UK\, EU\, Japan\, and other countries on how to understand and respond to China’s approach towards regulating AI\, data flows\, digital currencies\, and other emerging technologies. He was a visiting scholar at Peking University and Renmin University and holds a J.D. and B.A. from Columbia University.\n\nAbout the topic:\nChina has developed and promoted its own central bank digital currency (CBDC)\, the digital yuan (e-CNY)\, in order to stay ahead of the financial infrastructure of the future\, strengthen state oversight and control over payments\, and change the nature of its relationship with fintech giants. The state has also touted the longer-term goals of internationalizing the RMB and leading fintech advancements. In practice\, the rollout of e-CNY has thus far fallen short of many of its stated goals. This discrepancy between policy goals and reality reveals important characteristics regarding the nature of digital currencies and their broader relationship to a national financial system. This lecture\, divided in three parts\, will present an overview of the current state of e-CNY in China\, explore why there is a discrepancy between policy goals and the reality of implementation\, and\, finally\, outline the lessons these dynamics have for policy makers across the world\, considering CBDCs and the future of the global financial system.\n \nMore information on our website: https://uni-goettingen.de/de/423274.html

SUMMARY:Lecture: The Promise  and the Challenge  of World Literature
DESCRIPTION:The Promise and the Challenge of World Literature\nZhang Longxi (Hunan Normal University)\nApril 30\, 2026\n4 pm\nKWZ 0.602\n\nAbstract:\nIn this lecture\, Prof. Zhang Longxi will address the current situation of “World Literature.” Although the notion of “World Literature” aims at global cosmopolitanism\, the field remains heavily Eurocentric. While Goethe’s original vision was inspired by Chinese texts\, modern circulation still prioritizes Western languages like English and French. Thus\, academic frameworks\, exemplified by Casanova’s Paris-centric model\, continue to marginalize rich non-Western traditions\, including Chinese classics. To achieve a truly global perspective\, scholars must actively integrate diverse literary histories and expand the literary canon to reflect a genuine\, rather than Western-dominated\, global reality.\n\nShort Bio:\nProf. Zhang Longxi (Ph. D. from Harvard) has taught at Peking\, Harvard\, the University of California\, Riverside\, and City University of Hong Kong\, and is currently Xiaoxiang Chair Professor 潇湘特聘教授 at Hunan Normal University and Li De Chair Professor 砺德讲席教授 at the Yenching Academy of Peking University. He is an elected foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters\, History\, and the Antiquities and also of Academia Europaea. He has published more than 30 books and numerous articles in Chinese and English\, including\, most recently\, A History of Chinese Literature (London: Routledge\, 2023)\, and World Literature as Discovery: Expanding the World Literary Canon (London: Routledge\, 2024).
