Some information on the session logistics:
If not stated otherwise, the discussant is the following speaker, with the first speaker being the discussant of the last paper. The last speaker of each session is the session chair. (Exception: invited sessions)
Presenters should speak for no more than 20 minutes, and discussants should limit their remarks to no more than 5 minutes. The remaining time should be reserved for audience questions and the presenter’s responses. We suggest following these guidelines also in the (less common) 3-paper sessions in a 2-hour slot, to allow participants to move between sessions. Discussants are encouraged to avoid summarizing the paper. By focusing on a few questions and comments, the discussants can help start a broader discussion with the audience.
Only registered participants can attend this conference. Further information available on the congress website https://www.iseg.ulisboa.pt/en/event/iipf/ .

Inflation Narratives, Political Polarization and Policy Support 1: University of Siena, Italy; 2: University of Hamburg, Germany We study how newspaper narratives shape public beliefs and policy preferences during a period of high inflation in Germany. We conducted an online survey experiment with a broadly representative sample of 4,150 respondents, half of them randomly assigned to one of three inflation narrative treatments: 1) pent-up demand, 2) the energy-price crisis, or 3) corporate price gouging. We find strong baseline political polarization in support for inflation-mitigating policies, while respondents broadly agree on the distributional consequences of inflation. Pre-existing individual causal attributions about inflation correlate with inflation inequality beliefs and policy preferences but prove largely resistant to experimental updating. Among right-leaning respondents, however, exposure to inflation narratives substantially increase policy support, reducing the baseline partisan gap by up to 80%. This effect is concentrated among moderate-right, AfD-leaning respondents, suggesting that, when confronted with inflation as an economic problem, government skepticism is channeled into demand for stronger state protection.
