The large overlap between these outcomes allow the basic labor market patterns to be explained by either sector- or occupation-specific technological change. Yet distinguishing these two potential drivers is important as their implications differ for certain outcomes and for evaluating policies. In this paper we use a parsimonious model to extract sector-occupation specific technological change from the data. Using a factor model we decompose these changes into sector only and occupation only components, and show that both play a role. Finally we use our model to generate counterfactual series to gauge the importance of sector specific and occupation specific technological change on relative wages, sectoral value added shares and sector-occupation employment shares. We are looking forward to seeing you!

REMINDER: wiiw-FIW-Seminar in International Economics, 16 February 2017
by wiiw Events (noeg) 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

[http://wiiw.ac.at] [http://fiw.ac.at] Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the WIIW-FIW-SEMINAR IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS on THURSDAY, 16 FEBRUARY 2017, 4:00 PM wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna COLLATERAL EFFECT OF GREEN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT VERA DANILINA Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE), France The presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Federico Trionfetti (Aix-Marseille University (Aix-Marseille School of Economics), CNRS and EHESS, France). ABSTRACT Green Public Procurement (GPP), or green purchasing, entered the global agenda in the early 2000s while the majority of national programmes was launched already ten years earlier. Their implementation discloses a wide range of contradictory economic consequences. Our research is focused on the GPP welfare effects in autarky and upon trade integration across eco-heterogeneous countries. We introduce the public procurement analysis approach into the heterogeneous firms setting aiming to model the life-cycle based GPP programmes that account for the environmental quality of the whole production process. The designed framework shows the collateral effect of green purchasing based on the resources redistribution across industries and average productivity changes. It also allows to study the welfare effects conditionally on the type of the GPP policy in closed and open economy settings. Our research contributes to a relatively scarce literature on environment and trade with heterogeneous rms proposing a new approach to the GPP modelling. The paper also provides a set of policy recommendations that can be of particular interest due to the development of eco-labelling and environmental standards, and corresponding GPP programmes. JEL Codes: F18, H57, Q58 WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [http://wiiw.ac.at/collateral-effect-of-green-public-procurement-er-327.html] FOR THE EVENT. PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF CHARGE.

wiiw seminar Russia’s energy sector and the western sanctions, 28 February 2017
by wiiw Events (noeg) 14 Feb '17

14 Feb '17

[http://wiiw.ac.at] Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the next wiiw seminar on TUESDAY, 28 FEBRUARY 2017, 5 PM wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, lecture hall (entrance from ground floor) RUSSIA’S ENERGY SECTOR AND THE WESTERN SANCTIONS ANDREI V. BELYI University of Eastern Finland, Centre for Climate Change, Energy and Environmental Law Abstract Last year was marked by a surprising privatisation deal in Russia’s oil and gas industry, between Rosneft and a Glencore-Qatar consortium. It demonstrated the ability of sanctioned companies to bypass the most harmful effects from restrictions on financial flows. The strategy of the buyers, in particular Glencore, whose past has been characterised by business in sanctioned states, remains unclear. As for the Russian hydrocarbon industry, can short-term financial solutions provide a way out of the sanctions predicament? In answering this question, important medium- and long-term problems need to be outlined, such as a deteriorating image abroad and weakening access to more innovative technologies. WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [http://wiiw.ac.at/the-russian-energy-sector-and-the-western-sanctions-er-33…] FOR THE EVENT. PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF CHARGE.
