[International_seminars] New Jour Fixe - European Centre (14 Jan): Posting of Workers Directive in the Western Balkans
by Sonila Danaj 22 Jan '20

22 Jan '20

Dear Sir / Madame, We would like to invite you to our new and upcoming Jour Fixe seminar series of the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research. This year the European Centre starts the Jour Fixe seminar series, in which our researchers will present research findings, (draft) reports or papers (also project proposals, theoretical concepts or methods) to colleagues for feedback and discussion in an open space for mutual exchange in a friendly environment. The convenors of the Jour Fixe are Sonila Danaj, Michael Fuchs, and Kai Leichsenring. The Jour Fixe takes place ONCE per month (every second Tuesday in the month) with a pre-announced agenda (duration: 90 min, 12:00-13:30). On Tuesday 14.01.2020, 12:00 - 13:30 Sonila Danaj Title: An institutional analysis of Posting of Workers Directive in the Western Balkans In the first session of the Jour Fixe that takes place on 14 January 2020, our colleague Sonila Danaj will discuss findings of the Posting of Workers in Eastern Europe (EEPOW) project. The presentation focuses on the transposition of Posting of Workers Directive (which regulates the free movement of services of transnational operations by ‘posting’ their workers across the EU) in the four candidate countries of the Western Balkans. The analysis draws from research conducted in Albania, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia, and a needs assessment of their capacities to implement this Directive in terms of six interdependent institutional domains: legal framework, institutional arrangement, inter-agency cooperation, human resources, stakeholder engagement, and public governance. The findings indicate that the transposition and the implementation of the Posting of Workers Directive reveals the contradictions in the EU integration process, where potential members are asked to adopt the EU legal and institutional framework prior to membership, while they cannot implement such framework fully until they join the EU. This creates circumstances of vulnerability and risk of exploitation for posted workers.

Februar 2020, 13:30 Uhr WIFO, Kleiner Sitzungssaal Sergio Gonzalez Catalan (Camilo José Cela University, Spain) "Regional Competitiveness in Latin America: a comparative study of the key elements for regional performance" Kommentar: tba Abstract: Cross-country comparison is critical to understand the success of some regions and the stagnation of others. There are regions in Latin America that consistently show high levels economic, social and environmental indicators. These regions have a high endowment of factors associated with regional competitiveness. Research establishes that regions such as the Metropolitan region in Chile compete for foreign investment while companies within regions like O'Higgins and Antofagasta regions in Chile compete for product placement in international markets. These types of competition take place mainly between countries, but there are no comparative studies of regional competitiveness between countries for Latin America that allow to asses this type of competition. Using an input-output competitiveness model regional competitiveness is measured for Chile, Colombia and Mexico for the 2008 - 2017 period. The measurement allows comparison of regional competitiveness and performance across countries. The research results most of the differences in performance are mainly explained by factors such as education, technological skills, and training.

On January 3rd, high ranking Iranian military official Ghassem Soleimani was killed in a US drone strike in Iraq. In few days, on January 8th, Iran responded, firing its missiles at Iraqi military bases hosting US troops. While no human losses were sustained there, a tragic incident that occurred on the same day when Iran mistakenly shot down a passenger plane heading from Tehran to Kyiv, claimed 176 lives. This prompted a new wave of anti-government demonstrations in Tehran, with police using tear gas against the demonstrators. The protests in Iran and the military escalation between Tehran and Washington are a sad culmination of the gradual deterioration of US-Iranian relations, following President Trump’s withdrawal in 2018 from the Joint and Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The JCPOA was concluded between Iran and six powers (China, France, Germany, Russia, UK, and USA) in 2015, aiming to limit Iran’s uranium enrichment activities in order to prevent any possibility for Tehran to build a nuclear weapon. In exchange, decades-long economic sanctions against Iran were lifted, enabling new opportunities for international trade and the restoration of the country's crippled economy. The US decision to withdraw from the JCPOA and reinstate the sanctions against Iran gave a severe blow to the whole agreement. Efforts by other signatories of the deal to deliver on what was promised to Iran (for example, via INSTEX trade mechanism created by the EU) did not bring the desired outcome. As a result, Iran has gradually abandoned its commitments under the JCPOA, announcing in January that it will no longer abide the uranium enrichment restrictions set in the JCPOA. The newly published book _Iran in the International System: Between Great Powers and Great Ideas_ [https://www.routledge.com/Iran-in-the-International-System-Between-Great-Po…] (Routledge 2020) address the events that led to the current crisis in the Middle East. It looks at Iran's relations with major power starting from the 1979 Iranian Revolution that had seen Islamic clerics come to power in the country. Featuring six contributing authors of the book, the discussion will cover Iran's relations with the United States, Russia, China, and the EU as well as Iran's economic situation. The trends observed in Iran's relations with teh world over the last four decades are directly linked to the recent developments in the region and will be thus analyzed by the panelists and the invited discussant. In addition, a societal and historical perspective on Iran will be offered by Iranians themselves as well as European Iran experts. The audience will also have an opportunity to experience Iranian culture and tradition through visual, musical an culinary arts. The Discussion will be held in English. The IIP invites to snacks and drinks after the event. _The International Insitute for Peace (IPP) in cooperation with the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) and the Austrian Orient Society._ _Please _register for the event: registration(a)iip.at or: https://www.iipvienna.com/registration.

WU Economic Research Seminar 29.01.2020, Philipp Lergetporer (CESifo Munich)
by Oberhofer, Harald 21 Jan '20

21 Jan '20

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, January 29, with Philipp Lergetporer (CESifo Munich) on The Effects of Information and Assistance for Parents on Childcare Applications and Take-Up - Evidence From a Randomized Controlled Trial Early childcare is an essential tool to support child development. Although research suggests that children from families with low socioeconomic status (SES) benefit most from childcare, their take-up rates tend to be relatively low. This paper investigates whether alleviating informational and behavioral barriers can foster childcare usage among low-SES families. In our randomized controlled trial, we randomly provide parents of young children in two medium-sized German cities with information and application assistance. Our baseline data show substantial SES gaps in parents' preferences and beliefs: Low-SES parents prefer later childcare entry than their high-SES counterparts. Low-SES parents are also less informed about central facts of the childcare system, such as their legal claim for a childcare slot. In our post-treatment survey, we investigate the causal effects of information and assistance on these SES gaps. Time and place: Wednesday, January 29, 4.30 - 6.00 p.m., Campus WU, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, building D4, entrance A, 2nd floor, Department meeting room 2.008.

Einladung zum VBEN-Vortrag von Arno Riedl: Fairness zwischen Jung und Alt
by Öffentlichkeitsarbeit WiWi 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir laden die Mitglieder der Nationalökonomischen Gesellschaft zu einer Veranstaltung des Vienna Behavioral Economics Network ein. Der Generationenvertrag mit seinen Transferleistungen zwischen Jung und Alt ist die Grundlage des Pensionssystems. In seinem Kern setzt er auf eine fein austarierte Solidarität zwischen den Generationen. Wenn diese aus dem Gleichgewicht gerät zum Beispiel, wenn Fairness-Normen verletzt werden , gerät auch der Generationenvertrag unter Druck. Arno Riedl, ordentlicher Professor für Public Economics an der Maastricht University, forscht schon seit vielen Jahren zur Frage, wie Institutionen (etwa Märkte) unsere Präferenzen und Überzeugungen prägen, und was das wiederum für das Design von Institutionen bedeutet. Beim nächsten Vienna Behavioral Economics Network am 30. Jänner 2020 wird Riedl die Ergebnisse von Experimenten zu Fragen der Solidarität zwischen den Generationen präsentieren und welche Einsichten sich daraus ableiten lassen. Wir freuen uns auf einen spannenden Vortrag, zu dem wir Sie herzlich einladen. Save the date: 30. Jänner 2020, 18:30-20:00: Arno Riedl Fairness zwischen Jung und Alt. Verhaltensökonomische Evidenz zu Rissen im Generationenvertrag Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Wien Der Eintritt ist frei. Wir bitten um Anmeldung auf der Website des Vienna Behavioral Economics Network: vben.at <https://vben.at/event/arno-riedl-30-01-2020/> Der Dresscode ist smart casual. Nach den Vorträgen gibt es bei Getränken und Snacks weitere Möglichkeiten für Diskussionen und Networking. ÜBER DAS VIENNA BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS NETWORK VBEN Um das wirtschaftliche Verhalten von Menschen zu verstehen, genügt das Menschenbild der traditionellen Wirtschaftswissenschaften oft nicht. Das geht davon aus, dass Menschen nur mit dem Kopf entscheiden, also Vor- und Nachteile von alternativen Handlungsweisen sorgfältig gegeneinander abwägen und die aus ihrer Sicht beste Option daraus wählen. Die Verhaltensökonomik geht im Gegensatz dazu davon aus, dass Menschen mit Kopf und Bauch entscheiden. So sind Menschen nicht nur vom Eigennutz getrieben, sie sind nicht immer rational und haben auch nicht unendlich viel Willenskraft. Seit den 1970er Jahren hat sich die Verhaltensökonomie (Behavioral Economics) innerhalb der Wirtschaftswissenschaften als eigene Disziplin etabliert. Die Nobelpreisträger für Wirtschaftswissenschaften Daniel Kahneman, George Akerlof, Vernon Smith, Reinhard Selten und Richard Thaler haben die Grundlagen für diese Disziplin geschaffen. Und gemeinsam mit Ökonomen wie Colin Camerer, Dan Ariely und Ernst Fehr haben sie evidenzbasiertes Wissen zum menschlichen Verhalten geschaffen, das Unternehmen und der Politik hilft, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen, faire Märkte zu designen und Verhaltensänderungen anzuregen ein Wissen, das von immer mehr Regierungen und Organisationen erfolgreich genutzt wird.

Baseline projections until 2040 are generated with the WTO Global Trade Model, a dynamic computable general equilibrium model. With the modelled structural changes the Chinese economy is projected to reorient its focus increasingly onto the domestic economy, raising the share of private household and government consumption in GDP, turning China’s trade surplus into a trade deﬁcit, reducing China’s share in global exports, raising the share of services in both production and exports, shifting the destination markets of Chinese exports from developed to developing countries, and changing its pattern of comparative advantage away from sectors like light and heavy manufacturing to electronic and machinery equipment. The large bilateral trade surplus vis-a-vis the United States is projected to fall to almost zero. _Paper and presentation, when available, are posted online after the seminar._ WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-454.html] for the event.
