WU Economic Research Seminar 13.12.2017, Klaus Nowotny (Universität Salzburg)
by Oberhofer, Harald 07 Dec '17

07 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

[cid:image002.png@01CEBF6B.D0B28790] VIENNA JOINT ECONOMICS SEMINAR INVITATION The University of Vienna and the Institute for Advanced Studies cordially invite you to the following Vienna Joint Economics Seminar <http://www.ihs.ac.at/vienna/resources/Economics/Papers/20130226_Paper_Zimme…> Thursday, December 14, 2017 University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna, VGSE seminar room, 3rd floor 1:15 pm Frederik Herzberg<http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/imw/members/researchers/herzberg.html> (U Bielefeld) Expertise vs. unanimity, anonymity vs. linearity: News from probabilistic opinion pooling Abstract: The problem of aggregating (i.e. "merging" or "pooling") probabilistic opinions has been studied for several decades (e.g. McConway 1981, Lehrer & Wagner 1981). A new direction in this research program is the connection with the recent literature on (binary logical) judgement aggregation theory (survey: List & Puppe 2009). In this paper, we shall first generalise the classical results on linear probabilistic opinion pools to the case of infinite (both countably and uncountably) electorates. We will see that the existence of aggregation rules satisfying certain desiderata is independent from the axioms of standard mathematics (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with Choice). In the second part of the talk, we will provide a probabilistic version of the famous paradox of a Paretian liberal (Sen 1970): If one seeks an aggregation rule with universal domain for entangled decision problems, one has to choose between following expertise and respecting unanimity. We are looking forward to seeing you!

While the theoretical literature broadly suggests a positive impact, the empirical verification of this relationship is complicated by the well-known problem of endogeneity. A relatively new approach to overcome this limitation is the synthetic control method (SCM), which compares the post-liberalisation GDP trajectory of a country that liberalised with the trajectory of a combination of similar economies that did not liberalise. Although this method is widely praised for being data-driven, transparent and less prone to specification searching, it has recently come under heavy criticism for actually failing to meet any of these criteria. The aim of this study is, therefore, to reassess the trade-income-relationship in light of the current debate on the possibilities and limitations of SCM, and to extend earlier studies by estimating the average effect of liberalisation for different groups of countries. ...more [https://wiiw.ac.at/reassessing-the-gains-from-trade-liberalisation-using-th…] WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-370.html] for the event.

REMINDER: WU Economic Research Seminar 06.12.2017, Wolfgang Nagl (IHS)
by Oberhofer, Harald 04 Dec '17

04 Dec '17

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, December 6, with Wolfgang Nagl (IHS) on "Distributive effects of defined benefit public pension systems: The case of Austria" Abstract: We investigate redistribution along the intergenerational and intragenerational dimension within the Austrian defined benefit public pension system. To identify redistribution we calculate internal rates of return for the birth cohorts of 1937 to 1946 using administrative data of new pensioners from the period 2001 to 2011. We find that redistribution is more pronounced along the intragenerational dimension as along the intergenerational dimension. Within cohorts redistribution goes towards females and lowincome earners. Furthermore we provide two additional calculation exercises. First, we show that intragenerational redistribution is substantially reduced when income-specific life expectancies are considered. Second, we show that redistribution along both dimensions is reduced under the new Austrian pension legislation since 2005 in which the whole employment careers are considered as a reference period. Place and time: Wednesday, December 6, 4.30 - 6.00 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
