EINLADUNG Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Wir laden Sie herzlich zum VOSTA Freitagsseminar von Herrn Bernhard Haslhofer vom Austrian Institute of Technology mit dem Titel "O Bitcoin, Where Art Thou? Insight into Large-Scale Transaction Graphs" ein. Termin: Freitag, 12. Jänner 2018, 11:00 Uhr Ort: Oesterreichische Nationalbank Veranstaltungssaal, Erdgeschoss Otto-Wagner-Platz 3 1090 Wien   Abstract: Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are now well-known and attract considerable public attention and scrutiny. However, few attempts have been made to systematically and empirically investigate entire cryptocurrency ecosystems in the same way that their real-world counterparts have been studied by economists, sociologists, or researchers from other related disciplines. This talk will, first of all, introduce known quantitative methods for analyzing cryptocurrency ecosystems from a micro- and macroscopic perspective based on transaction data available in the publicly accessible blockchain and other contextually relevant data sources. Then it will explain how the GraphSense Cryptocurrency Analytics platform, which is being developed at AIT, can be used for inspecting and analyzing transactions, real-world actors and their relationships. Finally, it will also showcase a scientific investigation methodology that has been used to quantify the economic aspects of ransomware attacks and could serve as blueprint for finding answers to similar research questions. It will conclude by identifying possible interdisciplinary research questions and lay out an agenda for possible future research activities. Um Ihre verlässliche An- bzw. Abmeldung ersuchen wir bis Dienstag,  09. Jänner 2018 an: event-management(a)oenb.at   Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Event-Management Oesterreichische Nationalbank Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Wien event-management(a)oenb.at

Reminder: Event of the Sonnenfels Center, December 18, 16 hours
by wolfgang.weigel＠univie.ac.at 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Madam, Sir, dear members May I remind you of the last event of this year On Monday, December 18, 2017 Bernhard Ganglmair The University of Texas at Dallas speaks about "The Effect of Patent Litigation Insurance: Evidence from NPEs" (joint work with Christian Helmers, Brian Love, and Shawn Miller) * Abstract infra 16.00 - 18.00 hours Venue: Seminar 31, Law School (Juridicum), Schottenbastei 10-14, 1010 Vienna (entrance from Hessgasse) Followed by traditional Advent punch For the sake of planning your registration is apprechiated at sonnenfels.economics(a)univie.ac.at <mailto:sonnenfels.economics@univie.ac.at> Wolfgang Weigel ABSTRACT: "We analyze the extent to which private defensive litigation insurance deters patent assertion by non-practicing entities (NPEs). We do so by studying the effect that a patent-specific insurance product, offered by a leading litigation insurer, had on the litigation behavior of insured patents' owners, all of which are NPEs. We first model the impact of defensive litigation insurance on the behavior of patent enforcers and accused infringers. Next, we empirically evaluate the insurance policy's effect on the owners of insured patents by comparing their subsequent assertion of insured patents with their subsequent assertion of other patents they own that were not included in the policy. We additionally compare the assertion of insured patents with patents held by other NPEs with portfolios that were entirely excluded from the insurance product. Our findings suggest that the introduction of this insurance policy had a large, negative effect on the likelihood that a patent included in the policy was subsequently asserted, and our results are robust across all control groups that we constructed. Our results have importance for ongoing debates on the need to reform the U.S. and European patent systems, and suggest that market-based mechanisms can deter so-called "patent trolling."

Reminder: WU Economic Research Seminar 13.12.2017, Klaus Nowotny (Universität Salzburg)
by Oberhofer, Harald 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, December 13, with Klaus Nowotny (Universität Salzburg) on "Informal, formal, or both? Assessing the drivers of home care utilization in Austria" Abstract: Understanding the relation between different types of long-term care (LTC) and the determinants of individual choice of LTC types is fundamental for efficient policy making in times of aging societies. However, empirical research on this issue has revealed both national and methodological factors as crucial for the policy conclusions drawn. The present paper is, at least to our knowledge, the first comprehensive assessment of this kind for Austria and extends the scarce literature explicitly by focusing on the combined use of informal and formal care in addition to the exclusive use of these services based on an econometric framework accounting for the interdependencies in these types of LTC. Our results provide strong evidence for a task-specific and complementary relation of formal and informal home care in Austria, with the health status and functional limitations as the main determinants of individual choice. Place and time: Wednesday, December 13, 3.30 - 5.00 p.m., Campus WU, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, building D4, 2nd floor, Department meeting room 2.008 With best regards, Harald Oberhofer --- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Harald Oberhofer Institute for International Economics WU Vienna University of Economics and Business Phone: +43/1/31336-4984 Fax: +43/1/31336-4984 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wu.ac.at> Webpage: https://www.wu.ac.at/ie/mitarbeiter/harald-oberhofer/ Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) Phone: +43/1/7982601-468 Fax: +43/1/7989386 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer
