28 Apr '17

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Anbei übermitteln wir Ihnen die Einladung zu einem VOSTA-Freitagsseminar von Jean-Baptiste Michau (Ecole Polytechnique) mit dem Titel "Secular Stagnation: Theory and Remedies". Termin Freitag, 12. Mai 2017, 11.00 Uhr Ort Oesterreichische Nationalbank Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Wien Veranstaltungssaal, EG Abstract This paper relies on a Ramsey model with money to offer a simple theory of secular stagnation. The permanent failure of the economy to produce at full capacity results from three features: 1. The combination of the zero lower bound on the nominal interest rate and of an inflation ceiling imposes a lower bound on the real interest rate; 2. Some dynastic households have a high propensity to save, due to a preference for wealth; 3. A downward wage rigidity breaks the deflationary spiral resulting from the lack of demand. In this framework, I derive the paradox of flexibility, of thrift, and of toil. If the inflation ceiling cannot be raised, then the government needs to rely on fiscal policy to escape secular stagnation. However, a conventional fiscal stimulus is not an efficient response to a permanent liquidity trap, and can even be welfare reducing. The solution is instead to tax household wealth and to subsidize income from physical capital, through an investment subsidy or a reduction in the taxation of corporate income. This optimal policy is revenue neutral and implements the first-best allocation of resources. However, to avoid a jump in the price level upon implementation of the optimal policy, the government needs to redeem the money that had previously been supplied to finance public debits. Um Ihre Anmeldung ersuchen wir bis Mittwoch, 10. Mai 2017. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme und stehen für Fragen gerne zur Verfügung.

[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, May 4, 2017 University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna, VGSE seminar room , 3rd floor 1:15 pm Bauke Visser<https://www.eur.nl/people/bauke-visser/> Erasmus University, Rotterdam Reputation Management and Assessment in the Lab In a reputation game, reputation-concerned agents use decisions and accompanying statements to influence assessments of their competence, and evaluators take such attempts into account when assessing them. We test the theoretical implications in the lab by comparing treatments with and without reputation concerns, and with and without statements. We find that statements become less informative due to reputation concerns, and that decision makers distort the decision less if they can use statements to influence assessments. On the other hand, the assessments of evaluators become less responsive to decisions and statements if decision makers care about their reputations, and evaluators react more to the decision in the absence of statements than in their presence. We use various methods to establish whether evaluators are good at assessing decision makers even if the latter attempt to influence their perception. We find that evaluators assess decision makers quite well, but they overly react to infrequent statements and are too tough on decision makers if they only observe decisions. Paper jointly with Sander Renes We are looking forward to seeing you!

25 Apr '17

[http://wiiw.ac.at] [http://fiw.ac.at] Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the WIIW-FIW-SEMINAR IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS on MONDAY, 15 MAY 2017, 4.00 – 5.30 PM wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna CONSEQUENCES OF BREXIT AND OPTIONS FOR A ‘GLOBAL BRITAIN’ TRISTAN KOHL University of Groningen, The Netherlands The presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Steven Brakman (University of Groningen) and Harry Garretsen (University of Groningen). ABSTRACT The United Kingdom has opted to leave the European Union. The trade and welfare consequences of this decision are large; most studies predict a trade and welfare loss for both the UK and the EU. The UK parliament has indicated that it aims for new and ambitious trade agreements following Brexit, but has not been explicit what type of trade agreements it envisions (except that it should be broad) or with whom specifically. In this paper, we consider the UK’s options. We first confirm, in line with existing studies, that the negative trade consequences of Brexit are substantial, especially for the UK and also for the EU. After reviewing all potential options, we have a simple answer to the question whether the UK has an alternative for the existing trade agreement with the EU. The answer is: No. Only a trade agreement with the EU can compensate for the negative trade consequences of Brexit. Keywords: Brexit, Gravity Model, Trade predictions JEL Codes: F13, F14 WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/consequences-of-brexit-and-options-for-a-global-britain-…] FOR THE EVENT. PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF CHARGE.
