テーマ	『Waseda Organizational and Financial Economics Seminar：Shortages, Liquidity, and the Impact of Monetary Policy on Prices: Theory and Evidence from Commodity Markets』（英語でのご報告）
講演者	佐藤　優紀氏（東京大学大学院経済学研究科附属金融教育研究センター特任講師）
要旨	We find that monetary policy shocks have no significant effect on commodity futures prices when markets are in backwardation, that is, when futures prices lie below spot prices. Because backwardation signals supply constraints, reflecting a positive convenience yield that arises under tight supply or low inventories, this finding reveals a new channel for understanding the effects of monetary policy under supply shortages. Our model to investigate this mechanism relies on the inventory arbitrage of commercial traders and the rational inattention of financial traders, which together replicate the higher price response to the aggregate demand shock under ample inventories than under tight inventories. To reinforce our empirical findings, we conduct two complementary analyses. The first tests the assumption that the basis is informative about storage conditions by constructing an Inventory Constraint Index, which closely tracks observed inventory data from the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates and the U.S. Energy Information Administration. The second examines the liquidity channel, an alternative mechanism through which monetary policy may affect commodity futures markets. Both analyses support our interpretation: while illiquidity is priced through changes in interest rates, inventory tightness, as indicated by the basis, remains the primary transmission channel.

テーマ	Practical Use of Statistical Learning in Non-Life Insurance （英語でのご報告）
講演者	Brian Fannin 氏（国際アクチュアリー会 ASTIN Board Chair） Warda Hadaoui 氏（国際アクチュアリー会 ASTIN Board）
要旨	Over the past decade, statistical learning techniques have increasingly been adopted in Non-Life insurance. Techniques such as cross-validation and non-linear models have provided actuaries with new ways to develop and assess predictive models, complementing more traditional statistical approaches. In this workshop, speakers from ASTIN will introduce how these techniques are being used in practice and how they have changed the way predictive models are developed and applied in Non-Life insurance. Through practical examples, they will discuss what these methods can offer and how they can be incorporated into insurance business processes and decision-making. The workshop will also explore some of the practical challenges involved in adopting statistical learning techniques, including model interpretation, validation, implementation, and the balance between model performance and practical usability. Rather than simply presenting statistical techniques, the workshop will be interactive, with opportunities for participants to ask questions, share their perspectives, and discuss practical issues with the speakers. Through these examples and discussions, we hope participants will gain a better understanding of how statistical learning is shaping the actuarial works in Non-Life insurance and what actuaries can contribute to its effective use.

テーマ	Managing Investments under Bargaining in A Coopetitive Supply Chain　　（英語でのご報告）
講演者	Michael Kopel　氏（Professor, University of Graz）
要旨	focus on the parties’ asymmetric bargaining positions: the retailer can only profit when bargaining reaches an agreement while the manufacturer can still offer its product if bargaining fails. As a consequence, we find that the investments have opposite effects on the surplus that is shared between the supply chain partners. The retailer’s investment always increases the trade surplus, whereas the manufacturer’s investment reduces the trade surplus. This gives rise to counterintuitive results. The parties’ profits are reduced, if (1) the consumers’ common willingness to pay for the product increases, (2) the consumers’ “dislike” of online purchases from the manufacturer decreases, and (3) both firms’ investment efficiency increases. Our results hold under linear and nonlinear demands, under quantity and price competition, and with a linear and nonlinear supply contract. We further find that an increase in the manufacturer’s bargaining power can actually reduce the manufacturer’s profit, increase the retailer’s profit, but hurt the supply chain.
