How do neighborhoods and firms affect intergenerational mobility?

Children’s incomes tend to resemble their parents', a relationship that is particularly pronounced in higher-inequality societies like the United States. However, the mechanisms behind this intergenerational earnings transmission are not well understood. We use a new data resource to study intergenerational economic transmission in the U.S., focusing on two potentially important factors: neighborhoods and firms.

A Future for Private Health? - ONLINE ONLY

Event Type: ESA Event

Date: Wednesday Oct 1, 2025, 12:00 pm

From: Central Council

Australia’s private health sector is confronting a period of significant challenge, marked by rising operational costs, persistent workforce shortages, stagnant demand, and increasing out-of-pocket expenses for consumers. These pressures have resulted in declining profitability, hospital closures, adversarial insurer-provider relationships, and a lack of transparency, with confidence further undermined by the collapse of Healthscope. There are growing concerns that instability in the private sector will increase pressure on Australia’s already overburdened public system.

Trump’s Trade Policies Revisited: A South Australian Lens on Tariffs, Trade, and Geoeconomics

Event Type: ESA Event

Date: Wednesday Sep 10, 2025, 5:00 pm

Trump’s Trade Policies Revisited: A South Australian Lens on Tariffs, Trade, and Geoeconomics

On 31 July 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order reinstating his administration’s “reciprocal” tariff regime—marking a major escalation in global trade tensions. Under the updated policy, countries that run goods trade deficits with the U.S. and have security relationships with it—including Australia—now face a baseline 10% tariff on most exports to the U.S., with other countries facing tariffs as high as 50%.
This move signals not only a sharp break from multilateral trade norms, but a return to transactional, bilateral pressure tactics. But what do these shifts mean for Australia—and, in particular, for South Australian exporters and industries deeply embedded in global value chains?
This timely panel discussion, hosted by the Economic Society of Australia (SA Branch),  Institute for International Trade, and the Australian Institute of International Affairs (SA Branch), brings together leading voices in trade policy, economics, and international affairs to unpack these developments through a South Australian lens.
The session will begin with a high-level analytical update on the logic and scope of the new U.S. tariff regime, followed by a focused discussion on how these shifts are likely to affect South Australian industries, exporters, and policymakers. A moderated panel discussion will then explore the broader geoeconomic and strategic implications, including the erosion of the rules-based trading system and Australia’s potential policy responses.

The Future of Money - ONLINE ONLY

Event Type: ESA Event

Date: Wednesday Aug 20, 2025, 12:00 pm

From: Central Council

Rapid changes in technology and in the preferences of firms and households are features of the Australian economy, nowhere else more so than in the payments system. How are central banks, including the RBA, thinking about the future of money, both digital and physical cash? What could be the role of central bank digital currencies, stablecoins and tokenised bank deposits in supporting innovation, and what are the financial stability risks? And how could the demand for physical cash evolve in the future?
