Researchers from the IAAEU and the Chair of Personnel Economics participated in the Annual Meeting of the Scottish Economic Society, held in Glasgow from 13 to 15 April 2026. The conference brought together economists from various fields to present current research and engage in academic exchange.
Dr. Sven Hartmann presented a research project analysing how foreign media exposure can affect human capital in authoritarian regimes. Dr. Yue Huang presented the paper “She Manages the Money – He Spends It: Income Management and the Spousal Expenditure Gap in Japan”. The analysis demonstrates that in households where wives manage the entire household income, they tend to spend less on themselves compared to their husbands, highlighting intra-household disparities in expenditure behavior.
We are thankful for the opportunity to contribute to the conference and for the insightful discussions throughout the event. We also thank the organizers for an excellent program.
