Die neue OECD Studie "In It Together: Why Less Inequality Benefits All" ist soeben erschienen
by Altzinger, Wilfried 21 May '15

21 May '15

OECD (2015); In It Together: Why Less Inequality Benefits All The gap between rich and poor keeps widening. Growth, if any, has disproportionally benefited higher income groups while lower income households have been left behind. This long-run increase in income inequality not only raises social and political concerns, but also economic ones. It tends to drag down GDP growth, due to the rising distance of the lower 40% from the rest of society. Lower income people have been prevented from realising their human capital potential, which is bad for the economy as a whole. This book highlights the key areas where inequalities are created and where new policies are required, including: the consequences of current consolidation policies; structural labour market changes with rising non-standard work and job polarization; persisting gender gaps; the challenge of high wealth concentration, and the role for redistribution policies. http://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/download/8115091e.pdf?expires=143220… Ein Auszug davon: [cid:image001.png@01D093C8.CEF6FDE0] ********************************************* Altzinger Wilfried Vienna University of Economics and Business Department of Economics Welthandelsplatz 1 / D4, Level 2 (2.032) A-1020 Vienna http://www.wu.ac.at/vw1/m/altzing ++ 43 676 8213 4511 ********************************************* [Campusplan]

Backus and Melvyn Coles<http://www.essex.ac.uk/economics/staff/profile.aspx?ID=1679> Cornell U Essex Cheap Talk, Round Numbers and the Economics of Negotiation (Matthew R. Backus) Abstract: Can sellers credibly signal their private information to reduce frictions in negotiations? Guided by a simple cheap-talk model, we posit that impatient sellers use round numbers to signal their willingness to cut prices in order to sell faster, and test its implications using millions of online bargaining interactions. Items listed at multiples of $100 receive offers that are 5% - 8% lower but that arrive 6 - 11 days sooner than listings at neighboring "precise" values, and are 3% - 5% more likely to sell. Offer-level evidence further supports our hypotheses. Similar patterns in real estate transactions suggest that round-number signaling plays a broader role in negotiations. The cost of job loss<https://www.ihs.ac.at/fileadmin/public/ecofin_teaching/user_upload/VJE_Semi…> (Melvyn Coles) Abstract: This paper considers optimal wage contracts in a search equilibrium when there is learning-by-doing (experience effects), internal promotions (tenure effects), on-the-job search (wage ladder effects) and human capital shocks (layoff shocks). It uses simulated method of moments to decompose wages of young workers by skill groups into their constituent effects. For low skill workers, promotion and job ladder effects are small: wage gains are mainly through learning-by-doing. For high skill workers, promotion and job ladder effects are more sizeable but learning-by-doing effects dominate wage growth. Wage gaps, following job loss, are large and permanent: even after 8 years, the wage loss following layoff is around 20% relative to those not laid off. paper jointly with Ken Burdett and Carlos Carrillo Tudela We are looking forward to seeing you!

Because internationally connected firms are systematically larger than non-internationally connected firms, the firms directly linked to foreign countries represent less than 10% of all firms, but 58% of all value added. Controlling for firm and country effects, trade in goods with a particular foreign country is associated with a significantly higher correlation between a firm and that foreign country. In addition, foreign multinational affiliates operating in France are significantly more correlated with the source economy. The firm-level impact of direct trade and multinational linkages has significant aggregate implications. Directly connected firms account for three-quarters of the observed aggregate comovement. Without those linkages the correlation between France and foreign countries would fall by about 0.026, or nearly 10% of the observed average business cycle correlation of 0.29 in this sample of countries. These results are evidence of transmission of business cycle shocks through direct trade and multinational ownership linkages at the firm level, and of the important role of granularity in international business cycle comovement. paper jointly with Andrei A.
