Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Wir freuen uns, Sie am 18. Mai 2017 zu folgender Veranstaltung einladen zu dürfen: „Verhaltensexperimente: Neue Evidenz für die Gesundheitspolitik?“ (http://www.athea.at/conferences/) Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Das ATHEA-Team [cid:image001.png@01CF9C58.2BC464E0] Einladung Impulsvortrag & Podiumsdiskussion Verhaltensexperimente: Neue Evidenz für die Gesundheitspolitik? Wien, 18. Mai 2017, 16:00 Uhr Das Verhalten von Menschen in Sozialen Systemen prägt die gesellschaftlichen und individuellen Ergebnisse entscheidend. Zu verstehen, weshalb Menschen Handlungen setzen und auf welche Anreize sie reagieren, kann daher eine Quelle von Evidenz für politische Entscheidungen sein. Auch im Bereich der Gesundheitsökonomie haben Experimente stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Da der Markt hier oft nicht gut funktioniert, muss der Staat an vielen Stellen regulierend eingreifen. Doch gerade eben diese Eingriffe setzen Anreize für Verhaltensänderungen. Deshalb erscheint es wichtig, die Auswirkungen von Maßnahmen auch in Experimenten abzuschätzen. In einem Impulsvortrag wird Professor Wiesen von der Universität zu Köln einen Überblick über Experimente in der Gesundheitsökonomie geben und diese anhand seiner eigenen Forschung illustrieren. In einer anschließenden Podiumsdiskussion wollen wir der Frage nachgehen, welche Bedeutung die Ergebnisse solcher Experimente als Entscheidungsunterstützung für die Gesundheitspolitik haben könnten. Was kann die Forschung hier leisten? Was braucht die Gesundheitspolitik von der Forschung? Was braucht die Forschung von der Politik? Impulsvortrag: o Prof. Dr. Daniel Wiesen, Professor, Universität zu Köln Zu diesen Fragen diskutieren: o Dr. Martin Gleitsmann, Abteilungsleiter Sozialpolitik und Gesundheit, Wirtschaftskammer Österreich o Mag.a Ingrid Reischl, Obfrau, Wiener Gebietskrankenkasse (angefragt) o Priv. Doz.in Dr.in Pamela Rendi-Wagner, Bundesministerin für Gesundheit (angefragt) o Prof. Dr. Daniel Wiesen, Professor, Universität zu Köln Zeit: 18. Mai 2017, 16:00 Uhr Ort: Institut für Höhere Studien (IHS), Josefstädterstraße 39, 1080 Wien Anmeldung: Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos, wir bitte um Anmeldung an athea(a)athea.at<mailto:athea@athea.at> bis spätestens 10.

EAEPE2017 - 2nd CfP - The 29th Annual EAEPE Conference - Corvinus University of Budapest, HU, 19-21 October 2017
by Scholz-Wäckerle, Manuel 04 Apr '17

04 Apr '17

Dear Colleague, we are pleased to announce the 2nd Call for Papers for the 29th Annual EAEPE Conference, to be held at Corvinus University of Budapest from 19-21 October 2017! Please share the attached Call for Papers with your colleagues! --------------------- The 29th Annual EAEPE Conference 2017 The role of the State in Economic Development: State Capacity, State Autonomy and Economic Development Corvinus University of Budapest, Hungary, 19-21 October 2017 Call for Papers The 29th EAEPE Annual Conference will take place in Budapest on 19-21 October 2017. The conference theme is inspired by the most recent history of political and economic transition in Central-and Eastern Europe. The topic is seen as an attempt of catching-up through the establishment of a successful socio-economic development model. The theme invites contributions to consider the applicability of the legacies of previous and current development models with special regard to the role of state in designing and managing strategies of catching-up. Following the usual EAEPE format, prospective participants are invited to submit a paper on either the conference theme or one of the 25 EAEPE Research Areas<http://eaepe.org/?page=research_areas>. Abstracts (300-750 words) should include the following: the name(s), email address, affiliation of the authors, along with the name and code of the relevant Research Area. Following a notification of acceptance, a full paper will be invited. Please submit your Abstract here!<http://eaepe.org/?page=events&side=annual_conference&sub=eaepe2017_abstract…> Please have in mind that only one presentation per author is allowed; additional papers can be submitted by the same author but need to be presented by a registered co-author, if accepted by the scientific committee in advance. Background to the 2017 Conference Theme Development studies provide a variety of strategies and models that various states used for their catching-up and convergence. The concepts usually included strongly articulated state policies (intervention) to accelerate growth, establish solid institutional background, support business development, create potent innovation system and good quality education. The actual implementation depended on the world economic environment. Historically, successful cases were less frequent than failures. The good examples of Germany, Japan, South Korea, Finland and Ireland more recently and some other countries served as benchmark for others. The latecomers who copied the elements of successful models of developmental state were usually less successful yet, in some cases good progress could be achieved with significant amendments or case specific combinations of these elements. The question could be put to what extent existing good practices could be copied? Another important question was the extent of state intervention. Was success achieved due to state guidance of development or was it rather a lucky coincidence of autonomous factors and Hayekian criticism on excessive state influence is due? Were development failures simply the result of mismanaged public policies, or were they due to the misinterpreted role of the state, along with a lack of expertise, capacity and autonomy for managing the process of catching-up? These questions always received new attention when world economic setting changed. We are witnessing such fundamental changes today. The questions about the results and efficiency of existing development models under the circumstances of globalization emerge in a new light. What happened to Japan or South Korea? Have their “miracles” faded out because they reached their development targets of catching up, or are there inherent tensions in the models that were amplified by the process of globalization? What are the determinants of the new development success stories of China, Indonesia, India or Viet-Nam? What about their applicability in other countries and regions? How about the transition process in Central and Eastern Europe? Did these countries choose appropriate solutions? Was their development mode coherent? What is the proper response of states to economic globalization, a process that transforms the world economy into an organic system? To what extent can the state still be a formative (f)actor in the era of constantly deepening economic interdependencies? Can the state be the main driving force for economic development by facilitating the integration of the national economy into the global market on the one hand and by moderating the vulnerability of certain sectors and actors of the national economy in a globalized world economy on the other? States are certainly not obsolete, but to what extent are they effective and capable in promoting economic development? And how have changes in technology, capital and communication transformed the state–society relationship in both successful and unsuccessful transformers? The several decades-old question on state capacity and state autonomy, i.e., whether these are prerequisites to a successful development or are they merely a consequence of successful catching up, is back again and is more relevant than ever. Legacies and current options of avenues of economic development and catching-up offer substantial variety of topics and research methods. Scholars are encouraged to join the discussion of active state policies fostering economic development and opportunities, as well as the limitations of their applicability.

[http://wiiw.ac.at] [http://fiw.ac.at] Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the WIIW-FIW-SEMINAR IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS on MONDAY, 24 APRIL 2017, 3.00 – 4.30 PM wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna The Trade Effects of Anti-Dumping Duties: Firm-level Evidence from China ALEXANDER-NIKOLAI SANDKAMP ifo Zentrum für Außenwirtschaft, Munich ABSTRACT Trade protection is on the rise again and anti-dumping (AD) duties remain a common instrument in this respect, especially against China. This paper uses Chinese customs data to investigate the effects of AD duties on Chinese exporters, exploiting firm level data to address endogeneity concerns linked to trade protection. We find that the effects of AD duties differ strongly across destination markets and industries. Our empirical results show that the European and US markets react very differently to the imposition of duties, so that existing findings based on US data cannot easily be generalised to other countries. We find evidence that AD duties tend to drive some exporters out, while the remaining ones grow larger, implying that AD instruments may not be capable of protecting domestic industries in the long run. Finally, we find that AD duties lead to market entry of Chinese exporters into third countries as well as to increased exports to these countries by established exporters.

[cid:image002.png@01CEBF6B.D0B28790] VIENNA JOINT ECONOMICS SEMINAR INVITATION Reminder: 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, April 6, 2017 University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna, VGSE seminar room , 3rd floor 1:15 pm Nemanja Antic<http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/faculty/directory/antic_nemanja.aspx> Kellogg School, Northwestern U Communication among Shareholders<https://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kellogg.northwestern.edu%2Ffa…> This paper provides a model of information transmission among shareholders in an investment venture. An expert shareholder chooses how much information to communicate about the return on investment to a controlling shareholder who controls the investment strategy. Relative to the cheap-talk literature there are two key innovations in our model: first, that the shareholdings drive the incentive to communicate; second, that these shareholdings are determined endogenously. We embed this new model into two settings. In the first setting, equity ownership is determined by investors buying shares on a competitive equity market. We provide conditions under which share-trading delivers perfect communication and full risk-sharing. The second setting is a principal-agent relationship where the equity is granted as compensation by a principal (board) to an agent (CEO). Within this setting, the model highlights a novel trade-off between incentivizing export provision and promoting information transmission. Furthermore, the principal-agent setting delivers insights into the effects of prudential regulation. Paper jointly with Nicola Persico We are looking forward to seeing you!
