Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, November 25th, with Andreas Steinmayr (University of Innsbruck) on "Immigrating into a Recession" Abstract: We analyze how economic conditions at the time of arrival shape the economic integration of family migrants in the US. Our identification strategy exploits years-long waiting times for visa that decouple the migration decision from economic conditions at the time of arrival. We find that initial economic conditions have considerable consequences for the integration of family migrants. A one pp higher initial unemployment rate decreases wage income by four percent in the short run and by 2.5 percent in the longer run. The reduction in wage income is the result of substantial occupational downgrading. Family migrants who immigrate into a recession draw on ethnic networks to mitigate the negative labor market effects. They are also more likely to reside with family members, potentially reducing their geographical mobility. Date: Wednesday, November 25th Time: 4.30-6.00 pm Location: MS Teams. You can access starting from 4.30 pm using this link<https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_ZDcxZjY4NjYtNTEyOC00…>.

by von Jagow, Carl Joachim Adrian 16 Nov '20

Today, November 16th at 6pm, Laurent Clerc (Banque de France) will talk about the first climate stress test of the French financial system. On November 30th, Rick van der Ploeg (Oxford University) and on December 14th Gregor Semeniuk (University of Massachusetts Amherst) will follow presenting their recent research. To register via Zoom, visit the website https://e-axes.com/forum/. Best wishes Adrian von Jagow

(both Vienna University of Economics and Business) WEDNESDAY, 25 NOVEMBER 2020, 3:00 PM (15:00 CET) Online event - See registration link below FIW-wiiw Seminars in International Economics [https://wiiw.ac.at/fiw-wiiw-seminars-in-international-economics-es-6.html] _The presentation is based on a publication with the same title. [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intman.2019.100703] _ Although increases in corporate ownership positions in foreign markets occur frequently, the factors that determine how quickly such increases occur are underexplored. Combining international business research on experiential learning, knowledge recombination, and pro-market reform, we hypothesize that a firm's international experience with ownership increases has a positive effect on the pace at which the firm implements an ownership increase in a host country, but that this effect is weaker during periods of quicker pro-market reform in the country. We find support for our hypotheses in an analysis of Austrian firms expanding in Central and Eastern Europe, suggesting that, rather than merely being beneficial to foreign investors, pro-market reform also poses a challenge to them. _Paper and presentation, when available, are posted online after the seminar._ REGISTRATION LINK: https://my.demio.com/ref/TZ8Rbsq9f145Jd2Q The participation link will be sent to you immediately after registration.
