Invitation: Research Seminar at the Econometrics Group at the Vienna University of Technology, Jan 13, 2017

10 Jan '17

We cordially invite you to our next Research Seminar at the Econometrics Group at the Vienna University of Technology. Time/Place: Friday, Jan 13, 2017, 2 pm, Freihaus TU Wien (Wiedner Hauptstr. 8-10), Seminarraum DB 04 (yellow) Speaker: Martin Wagner, TU Dortmund Title: Some Further Developments in Cointegrating Regression Analysis: Theory for Applications Abstract: The analysis of linear cointegrating relationships in a regression framework is typically carried out using modified least squares estimators that involve corrections for endogeneity and error serial correlation in order to obtain limiting distributions that allow for asymptotic standard inference. Several such estimation procedures are available in the literature. In this talk we survey extensions of two of these estimators - Fully Modified OLS and Integrated Modified OLS - along four dimensions: First, the considered functional forms are more general, with a focus on polynomial-type functions that occur in many applications (environmental Kuznets curves, Translog cost and production functions, etc.). With respect to functional form choice, some effort is placed on specification analysis and testing. Second, we add the cross-sectional dimension to the analysis and discuss appropriate modelling and estimation strategies for situation with small cross-sectional dimension and cross-sectional dependences, a typical situation in applied macro-econometric analysis. Third, we relax the assumption of stationarity of the underlying processes, thereby extending the cointegration concept to the integrated locally stationary framework. The talk throughout illustrates the different aspects of the research agenda with applications and concludes with a brief outline of the steps ahead. The talk gives a bird's eyes view of research undertaken in Dortmund as well as in cooperation with Robert M. de Jong, Mathias Vetter and Timothy J. Vogelsang. We are looking forward to seeing you! <http://economics.ihs.ac.at/> Institute for Advanced Studies Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna, Austria Tel.: +43 1 599 91 145 e-Mail: economics(a)ihs.ac.at<mailto:economics@ihs.ac.at> http://economics.ihs.ac.at<http://economics.ihs.ac.at/>

In contrast with the standard model, the proposed framework allows for the existence of rational expectations equilibria featuring asset price bubbles. I examine the conditions under which bubbly equilibria may emerge and the implications for the design of monetary policy. and Electoral Competition with Rationally Inattentative Voters (Filip Matějka) This paper studies how voters' selective ignorance interacts with policy design by political candidates. Small groups and voters with extreme preferences are more influential than under full information, divisive issues attract most attention and public goods are underfunded. Rational inattention can also explain the role of parties as labels, why competing candidates do not always converge on the same policies, why efficient reforms are more likely in recessions and how the poor are politically empowered by welfare programs. This is important because if policy distortions are driven by inattention, then some of them can be mitigated at relatively small costs. We are looking forward to seeing you!

DEAR COLLEAGUES, we cordially invite you to the following event: INTERNATIONALISATION OF R&D: TRENDS, DRIVERS, IMPACTS AND NEW LINES OF RESEARCH Thursday, 12 January 2017, 4:00 pm (16:00) FIW-WIIW SEMINARS IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS [http://wiiw.ac.at/es-6.html] Bernhard Dachs (with Georg Zahradnik), Austrian Institute of Technology, AIT VENUE: WIIW, RAHLGASSE 3, 1060 VIENNA An important aspect of the ongoing internationalisation of the world economy is the internationalisation of research, development (R&D) and innovation activities. Today, subsidiaries of multinational firms are among the top performers in many countries, and a considerable share of R&D activities in the business sectors are controlled by foreign-owned firms. The talk gives an overview of the current status of the internationalisation of R&D, discusses the drivers and impacts of the development, and presents some important new trends. _Details_ [http://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-e-324.html] WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [http://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-324.html] for the event. Participation is free of charge. If you have any questions regarding this event, please contact events(a)wiiw.ac.at or reply to this email.
