[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 'Policy Perspectives for European Integration', 21 February 2017
by Michaela Boenisch 07 Feb '17

07 Feb '17

[http://wiiw.ac.at] Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the WIIW SEMINAR 'POLICY PERSPECTIVES FOR EUROPEAN INTEGRATION' on TUESDAY, 21 FEBRUARY 2017, 5:00 PM wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, LECTURE HALL (entrance from the ground floor) INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS TO ACHIEVE BALANCED GROWTH & CONVERGENCE IN THE EURO AREA ANDREW WATT Head of the Macroeconomic Policy Institute (IMK) Department of the Hans-Böckler Foundation, Düsseldorf Abstract Current account imbalances were at the heart of the crisis that engulfed the monetary union in the wake of the global financial crisis. Unlike in a federal state, current account imbalances matter in an "unfinished" monetary union. A stable monetary union requires a framework to limit imbalances and promote sustainable growth, avoiding the problem of "rotating slumps". Since the crisis some steps have been taken to address the issue, notably the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure (MIP). The MIP is, however, asymmetric, focusing on adjustment in deficit countries. A more symmetric resolution and avoidance of imbalances would also need to address the fiscal rules, which focus narrowly on deficit limitation, which is inimical to sustained and balanced growth. In the absence of a major breakthrough towards federalized economic policymaking, a path forward is needed that as far as possible builds on existing institutions. A proposal is made to reactivate the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines, broaden the remit of the advisory Productivity Boards to encompass the entire policy mix, and strengthen the Macroeconomic Dialogue, notably by establishing MEDs at national and Eurozone level. (Papers and presentation slides, as far as available, are posted on our homepage http://wiiw.ac.at/events.html [http://wiiw.ac.at/events.html] after the respective seminars.) Best regards, Univ.

A Life Course Perspective" ------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, das WIFO lädt Sie herzlich zum nächsten Termin der Vortragsreihe WIFO-Extern ein: Montag, 20. Februar 2017, 13:15 Uhr WIFO, Kleiner Sitzungssaal Maria Rita Testa (Guest Professor at the Vienna University of Economics and Business ) "Intentions and Childbearing in Contexts. A Life Course Perspective" Abstract: The adult life of women and men is characterised by a plurality of choices and events pertaining to different life domains, but in the literature pregnancy intentions are normally studied in isolation from intentions pertaining to other spheres of life. We study the correspondence of pregnancy intentions and reproductive outcome in a life course framework, encompassing several life domains such as partnership, education, work and residence. Using longitudinal data from the Generations and Gender Surveys in five European countries (Austria, Bulgaria, France, Hungary, and Lithuania), we examine individuals' pregnancy intentions and subsequent outcomes with a focus on the mediating and moderating role of alternative life course intentions and realisations. We find that adults' life plans are multidimensional and that the more simultaneous intentions individuals have, the less likely they are to achieve their childbearing goals in a short time period. Some intentions, like moving to a new dwelling, facilitate the realisation of birth intentions; others, like changing a job, tend to hinder the realisation of birth intentions. Finally, individuals are more successful in having their intended child in countries that promote a reconciliation of work and family life.

Unsettled Conference 29-31 March 2017

Über eine Verbreitung über die Liste der NOeG würden wir uns sehr freuen! Besten Dank und freundliche Grüße, Elina Kränzle Dear colleagues, The Interdisciplinary Centre for Urban Culture and Public Space<http://skuor.tuwien.ac.at/en/> at the Faculty of Architecture and Planning, TU Wien, would like to draw your attention to the upcoming conference UNSETTLED Urban routines, temporalities and contestations<https://skuor.tuwien.ac.at/en/veranstaltungen/konferenz/unsettled-urban-rou…> International Conference, 29-31 March 2017, Vienna Keynote Speakers Prof. Dr. Mustafa Dikec, Professor of Urban Studies, Ecole d'Urbanisme de Paris and LATTS, France Prof. Dr. Sophie Watson, Professor of Sociology, Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, Open University, UK The conference aims to explore conditions and conceptions of the unsettled. Urban life is characterized by diverse manifestations of instability which continuously stretch or redefine the social order and/or critical/community infrastructures of cities: everyday struggles related to the capitalist system of production, revolutions in political life and political system overthrows, quests for dominance and their oppositions in political, social, economic, ecological or cultural domains. These unsettling practices simultaneously challenge and nourish a variety of idea(l)s of the city as an inclusive place of liberation, cooperation, equal opportunities and shared (better) futures. The goal of the conference is thus to (1) understand the uncertainties, disturbances, inconsistencies, residuals and blind fields which constitute the urban both as lived space and the political idea(l), and (2) foster an inquiry into the socio-political potentialities of unsettling and re-settling urban routines, temporalities and contestations. Please find an outline of the all information on the themes, the programme of the conference and the add-on day, keynote speakers and registration on our website<https://skuor.tuwien.ac.at/en/veranstaltungen/konferenz/unsettled-urban-rou…> Registrations are accepted until 15 February 2017 We warmly invite you to participate and look forward to inspired talks, discussions, workshops and exursions!
