15 Jan '20

Conference "Understanding the migration - vocational education nexus. Constraints and potentials." Tuesday, January 21, 2020, 09.00-16.00 C3 - Centre for International Development, Sensengasse 3, 1090 Vienna Speakers: Stefan Wolf (TU Berlin), Volker Wedekind (University of Nottingham), Gudrun Biffl (Donau-Universität Krems), Bettina Fellmer (GIZ, Bereich Flucht, Migration, Rückkehr), Edith Vasilyev (IOM Austria), Ali Safi (Donau Universität Krems & VIDC), Matthias Themal (ADA). Migration has become a controversially debated issue and a policy priority, and this is also true for the field of international development. Recent years have seen the booming of 'tackling the root causes' policy approaches in an effort to deter emigration with foreign aid. Education and technical and vocational education (TVET) have been identified as part of the policy toolkit. In fact, policy discourse assumes that TVET in developing countries contributes to employment and growth as the basis for improved livelihoods and decreased motivation to emigrate. By contrast, existing research identifies higher levels of education as one of the major push factors for emigration. In short, the underlying relation between education/TVET and migration is highly complex and far from being straightforward. The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in the realm of TVET, migration and development in order to facilitate an in-depth discussion on the potential role of TVET in mitigating migration pressure. It will seek to analyse the economic, social, political and cultural conditions that shape the relationship between TVET and migration. In addition, it will also discuss lessons of experience and draw conclusions for the policy level. Please register at: registration(a)oefse.at<mailto:registration@oefse.at>

This paper documents that the distributions of earnings and wealth are highly concentrated, even when disaggregated into single and married households. At the same time, there is a large marriage gap: married people earn on average 26 percent more income, and they hold 35 percent more net worth. To account for these facts, I develop a general equilibrium model where females and males face uninsurable income risk and make decisions on consumption-savings, labor supply and marriage formation. In a calibrated version of the model, I show that selection into marriage based on productive characteristics, an effective tax bonus for married couples, and stronger bequest motives for households with descendants are key to accounting for the marriage gap in earnings and wealth. A policy experiment of moving from joint tax filing for married couples to separate filing yields output gains and more marital sorting.

INVITATION: Expanding the Technological Frontier of Macroeconomic Modeling, 20 January 2020
by wiiw Events (noeg) 13 Jan '20

13 Jan '20

View this email in your browser [https://wiiw.ac.at/files/mailings/event-202001130851-en.html] Dear colleague, we cordially invite you to the following event: EXPANDING THE TECHNOLOGICAL FRONTIER OF MACROECONOMIC MODELING MICHAEL MIESS Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien) MONDAY, 20 JANUARY 2020, 5:00 PM (17:00 CET) wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, library (2nd floor) The potential of agent-based models (ABMs) to complement or even gradually replace existing economic models has been pointed out for more than three decades. However, the success of ABMs in entering the heartland of the economic profession so far has been limited. In this context, it might be useful to view ABMs as a disruptive innovation (or methodology) that still has to assert itself against existing technologies, i.e. the methods and models used by the majority of economists. I will present a novel macroeconomic ABM that surpasses the state of the art in AB modelling along several dimensions, showing that ABMs have matured and are ready to enter the toolbox of economic models for policy analysis and forecasting. This ABM is validated by comparing its forecasting performance to that of more conventional techniques for economic modelling, i.e. simple time series models and a standard DSGE model. The macroeconomic ABM introduces several innovations to the field of AB modelling. Firstly, it achieves a realistic depiction of an actual economy (Austria) by estimation to detailed data from national accounts, input-output tables, government statistics, census data, and business demography data. Furthermore, and also unique in comparable literature, this model incorporates all economic entities of a national economy, i.e. all households (more than 8 million) and firms (more than 600,000) of the Austrian economy are represented by agents within the model. Moreover, several open issues in ABM literature are addressed by adhering closely to these data sources, respecting identities of the system of national accounts, and by adopting simple formulations to structure agents' behavior. In particular, the model proposes solutions to several long-standing and well-known problems of ABMs, including ad-hoc and arbitrary assumptions, comparability between different models, transparency and reproducibility, over-parameterization, estimation and calibration, empirical validation, as well as interpretation and generalization of results. Especially, our ABM approach allows reducing the number of free parameters - i.e. parameters that cannot directly be set according to empirical data and have to be calibrated using techniques that focus on replicating 'stylized facts' of actual economies - to zero. Therefore, this ABM is not subject to the parameter identification problem, which relates to multiple sets of admissible parameters that produce the same model result. Additionally, this ABM is able to abstract from what is known as a transient or 'burn-in' phase in ABM literature, i.e. possibly long periods of time where these models usually exhibit volatile and irregular behavior and which usually are discarded for analysis of model results. Contrary to such a burn-in phase, this ABM offers a stable and clearly interpretable depiction of an actual economy starting from the first quarter of the simulation period. These features turn this ABM into a viable tool for economic forecasting and policy analysis. MICHAEL GREGOR MIESS (*1983 in Innsbruck, Austria) is actively researching in the fields of macroeconomics, macroeconomic modelling (agent-based, stock flow consistent, and computable general equilibrium models), financial markets and their link to the real economy, as well as ecological economics. He is currently affiliated with the Institute for Ecological Economics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU Wien), and with the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) Vienna. Michael is a graduate in economics from the University of Vienna, and has obtained his PhD in economics at WU Wien in November 2019. Michael's work for his PhD thesis focused on the development and methodology of empirical agent based models (ABMs), conducted in cooperation the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Laxenburg. He has participated in building an ABM for the Austrian economy incorporating a wide range of macroeconomic data sources (national accounts, input-output tables, government statistics, census data and business surveys). This model is able to outperform standard time series models (ARMA, VAR models) and a standard DSGE model in short- to medium-term forecasting of major macroeconomic variables, and has a large potential for scenario and policy analysis. Currently, at the Institute for Ecological Economics at WU Wien, Michael is involved in projects funded by the Austrian Central Bank. His focus here is on the development of stock-flow consistent (SFC) macroeconomic models. One aspect of his work with SFC models is to explore harmonized policy responses to mitigate financial-risks related to climate change and thus to smoothing the low-carbon transition. Moreover, Michael co-developed an SFC model that is able to depict credit-fueled financial cycles due to credit creation by the financial sector, causing asset price inflation and influencing investment behavior by firms (financial vs. real investment). At IHS, Michael has co-developed an innovative hybrid top-down bottom-up computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with focus on energy provision and environmental effects. This model has repeatedly been used for policy-related studies for Austrian ministries. Michael has coordinated and researched for a trans-national project (DEFINE) co-funded by the European Commission that featured the extension and application of this CGE model to analyze a large-scale shift to electromobility in Austria, Germany and Poland. _Powerpoint presentation, as far as available, will be posted on this page after the seminar._ WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-455.html] for the event.

EINLADUNG Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir laden Sie herzlich zum VOSTA Freitagsseminar mit Herrn Erwin Dekker, Erasmus University Rotterdam, mit dem Titel "Friedrich Hayek’s Continental Liberalism" ein. Termin: Freitag, 24. Jänner 2020 um 11.00 Uhr Ort: Oesterreichische Nationalbank Veranstaltungssaal, Erdgeschoss Otto-Wagner-Platz 3 1090 Wien Abstract: Hayek’s intellectual legacy has been used and hijacked by a large number of intellectual and political movements, both in Europe and in America. This paper traces the continental sources of Hayek’s liberalism. It argues in particular that Hayek’s liberalism is inspired by older liberal traditions in Central Europe in which freedom is not the absence of constraints, but made possible by cultural rules and institutions. This tradition is supplemented by a more modern German rationalist tradition based on Weber and with roots in Kant. We also demonstrate how Hayek used French liberal thought as a counterpoint for the development of his own (neo-)liberalism. In doing we seek to correct the dominant Anglo-Saxon readings of Hayek, and help to make sense of some crucial tensions in Hayek’s work, most notably the tension between conservative and liberal elements in his thought.   Um Ihre verlässliche An- bzw.

WU Economic Research Seminar 15.01.2020, Alexander Ahammer (JKU)
by Oberhofer, Harald 07 Jan '20

07 Jan '20

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, January 15, with Alexander Ahammer (Johannes Kepler University Linz) on Dying to Work: Effects of Unemployment on Health and Risky Behavior Using administrative data for a large sample of Austrian workers, we exploit an eligibility cutoff for workers and show that an extension in unemployment insurance (UI) duration increases unemployment length and impacts worker health and risky behavior. These effects vary by gender. We find that women remain unemployed three times longer than men, with a lower risk of heart attack or stroke, a reduction in opioid prescriptions, and a lower likelihood of filing a disability claim. For men, we find that longer unemployment leads to increases in cardiac events and antidepressant prescriptions. Across gender, effects are driven by low-skill workers and parents. Time and place: Wednesday, January 15, 4.30 - 6.00 p.m., Campus WU, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, building D4, entrance A, 2nd floor, Department meeting room 2.008.
