Tim Urban sabe que a procrastinação não faz sentido, mas ele nunca conseguiu se livrar do hábito de esperar até o último minuto para fazer as coisas. Nesta palestra hilária e inspiradora, Urban nos leva a uma jornada por horas intermináveis no YouTube, leituras compulsivas da Wikipedia e momentos de divagação olhando pela janela - e nos encoraja a pensar firmemente naquilo em que estamos realmente procrastinando, antes que não dê mais tempo.

Yuliy Sannikov ganha a medalha John Bates Clark
Yuliy Sannikov is a theorist who has developed new methods for analyzing continuous time dynamic games using stochastic calculus methods. His work has not only broken new ground in methodology, it has had a substantial influence on applied theory. He has significantly altered the toolbox available for studying dynamic games, and as a result of his contributions, new areas of economic inquiry have become tractable for rigorous theoretical analysis. The areas of application include the design of securities, contract theory, macroeconomics with financial frictions, market microstructure, and collusion.
Yuliy Sannikov, a professor at Princeton University, won the John Bates Clark young economist award.
Sannikov was honored for theoretical work that has expanded the ability of economists to analyze a whole range of issues from the design of securities to collusion in markets, the Nashville, Tennessee-based American Economic Association said Friday in astatement on its website.
“Sannikov’s work is impressive,” the AEA said. “It is elegant, powerful, and it paves the way for further analysis on lots of problems.”
Alan Blinder, a fellow professor at Princeton and a former Federal Reserve vice chairman, said Sannikov “has displayed an unusual ability to apply deep economic theory to important questions about monetary policy and the financial system.”
Fed Chair Janet Yellen cited his work with Markus Brunnermeier, another Princeton professor, in a speech she gave at the International Monetary Fund in 2014. In a footnote, Yellen said the two economists had developed an economic model to explore whether long periods of relative economic stability led to excessive risk-taking and financial imbalances that damaged the economy when they were unwound.
Fed Symposium
In a presentation to the Kansas City Fed’s Jackson Hole symposium in 2012, Brunnermeier and Sannikov argued that central bankers can’t just focus on achieving stable prices.
"Policy rules that ignore financial stability fail to lean against the buildup of imbalances and systemic risk in normal times and are not credible in crisis times," they said.
They also highlighted the impact that monetary policy can have on the distribution of wealth in a society -- a sore point among some critics of the Fed who have accused it of pursuing strategies that benefited investors without helping ordinary Americans.
Brunnermeier said in an interview that he and Sannikov were able to provide a "totally different picture" of how the economy operates by focusing on frictions in the financial system.
Small Shocks
In particular, they were able to explain and explore how a small shock can at times have outsized economic impacts as it feeds on itself. In addition, they were better able to analyze the effects of quantitative easing, he said.
Sannikov also has studied the best way to structure incentive contracts to avoid rewarding corporate executives, private equity managers and others for work today that ends up being damaging in the longer run.
He earned a bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Princeton in 2000, then went on to get a Ph.D. in business administration four years later from Stanford University. He won three gold medals in the International Mathematical Olympiads in 1994 to 1996, according to his resume.
Research Interests
His research interests include game theory, corporate finance and macroeconomics.

Notícia boa para contabilidade?
Iran contribuiu para o fortalecimento do conhecimento contábil no Brasil. Como gestor, dirigiu a Fipecafi, uma entidade que simboliza muito para o conhecimento brasileiro da área. Teve participação ativa em conselhos de administração e fiscal.
A participação do professor Iran deve ser lembrada na história da contabilidade do Brasil. Foi professor de graduação, na Universidade de Brasília, na área de Mercado de Capitais. Era muito comprometido com suas tarefas, mesmo exercendo um cargo importante no Banco Central. Aproximou a instituição da pesquisa acadêmica, através de um convênio com a Fipecafi, que aproximou os professores da USP da burocracia.
Desdobramentos
A Fipecafi tinha no professor Iran um profissional e gestor brilhante.
Mas a semana só teve isto?
A divulgação de alguns resultados de diversas empresas, no Brasil e no mundo. Mas isto é muito pouco relevante.
