A PANEL DATA STRUCTURAL GRAVITY MODEL MICHAEL PFAFFERMAYR University of Innsbruck, Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) MONDAY, 12 NOVEMBER 2018, 3:00 PM (15:00 CET) wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna FIW-wiiw Seminars in International Economics [https://wiiw.ac.at/fiw-wiiw-seminars-in-international-economics-es-6.html] This paper proposes a new panel data structural gravity approach for estimating the trade and welfare effects of Brexit. The suggested Constrained Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood Estimator exhibits some useful properties for trade policy analysis and allows to obtain estimates and confidence intervals which are consistent with structural trade theory. Assuming different counterfactual post-Brexit scenarios, our main findings suggest that UK's exports of goods to the EU are likely to decline within a range between 7.2 percent and 45.7 percent (EU's exports to UK by 5.9 percent to 38.2 percent) six years after the Brexit has taken place. For the UK, the negative trade effects are only partially offset by an increase in domestic goods trade and trade with third countries, inducing a decline in UK's real income between 1.4 percent and 5.7 percent under the hard Brexit scenario. The estimated welfare effects for the EU are negligible in magnitude and statistically not different from zero. ...more [https://wiiw.ac.at/estimating-the-trade-and-welfare-effects-of-brexit-a-pan…] WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-404.html] for the event.

[https://files.oenb-events.com/108-55a9b3195c6a44a008cca477a916e337.jpg] EINLADUNG ________________________________ Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir laden Sie herzlich zum VOSTA Freitagsseminar mit Herrn Martin Wolf, Universität Wien, mit dem Titel "Optimal Prudential Policy in Economies with Downward Wage Rigidity" ein. Termin: Freitag, 9. November 2018 um 11.00 Uhr Ort: Oesterreichische Nationalbank Veranstaltungssaal, Erdgeschoss Otto-Wagner-Platz 3 1090 Wien Abstract: This paper studies optimal policy in economies with downward nominal wage rigidity when only prudential instruments are available. The optimal prudential policy intervenes in the labor market while all other markets may clear competitively. In contrast to fiscal devaluation where labor is subsidized in recessions, the prudential policy taxes labor in expansions as this curtails unemployment in recessions. However, the economy produces below potential in expansions. We analyse this trade-off theoretically and quantitatively by applying the model to Greece. We find that prudential intervention before 2008 would have significantly reduced Greek unemployment after 2008. The welfare cost of downward wage rigidity is reduced by about half. Our results hold in a Walrasian labor market, and in a labor market with wage-setting firms. Um Ihre verlässliche An- bzw. Abmeldung ersuchen wir bis Dienstag, 6.
