Call for Papers: Sustainability, Work and Growth
by Katharina Köberl-Schmid 11 Dec '20

11 Dec '20

CALL for PAPERS: Sustainability, Work and Growth Workshop on SDG8 "Full employment, decent work for all and economic growth" 5th March 2021 Submission Deadline: 29th January 2021 Outline WIFO's Research Platform Sustainability and Inclusiveness is organising a Workshop on SDG8 "Decent work and economic growth". The United Nation's "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) encompass economic, ecological and social aspects of sustainable and inclusive development and describe central global challenges for Austria and the EU, such as reducing inequality, mitigating climate change or creating appropriate working conditions. Among the 17 SDGs, SDG8 focuses on full employment, decent work for all and economic growth. Emerging structural changes are accelerating in the COVID-19-crisis and increasing recognition of the global climate crisis are intensifying the questions of sustainable labour markets as well as of sustainable and inclusive economic structures. The conference topic is set on the back- ground of the actual situation facing disruptions and challenges. In this respect, issues and effects on inequality both among the society and countries should be discussed. Another relevant aspect relates to measurement and monitoring instruments. We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics related to SDG8. Papers addressing the following research questions are particularly welcome: * What alternative sub-targets or indicators would be needed to measure progress towards SDG8 in a broader sense? * Do the sub-targets related to SDG8 adequately reflect today's grand challenges (like the cli- mate crisis) and mega-trends (like digitalisation)? * What gender-sensitive indicators and methods can be developed? * What are suitable methods to measure the progress towards the sustainable development objective of SDG8? * What are trade-offs and synergies between SDG8 and other SDGs and how could trade-offs be overcome? * What are the implications of the COVID-19-crisis for SDG8 in general, and in particular for full employment? Time and Location The "Sustainability, Work and Growth" workshop will take place online on March 5th, 2021. Due to the current global situation regarding COVID-19 we decided to organize the workshop as an online event. Paper Submission We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics related to SDG8. The submission of interdisciplinary papers is encouraged. Please submit your long abstracts (minimum 500 words) via the online tool (https://sdg8workshop.wifo.ac.at/) until 29th January 2021. Notification of the outcome of the review process for the conference is scheduled for 10th February 2021. Publication of Papers Selected papers may be published after a peer-reviewing process in a special conference issue of Empirica: Journal of European Economics. In case you would like your paper to be considered for the special issue please indicate this in the remarks to the programme committee in the online tool. The deadline for the submission of the full paper is 31st March 2021. General Information Attendance of the workshop is free. The workshop language is English. In case you have any questions please contact Katharina Köberl (katharina.koeberl(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:katharina.koeberl@wifo.ac.at>).

JKU economics research seminar 16.12.2020
by René Böheim 11 Dec '20

Dear colleagues, we cordially invite you to our online research seminar on Wed, 16th of December, 2020, 4pm: Elodie Douarin (UCL School of Slavonic and East European Studies (SSEES) https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/people/elodie-douarin <https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ssees/people/elodie-douarin> The Feminisation U, Cultural Norms, and the Plough Abstract: The feminisation U describes the tendency of female labour force participation (FLFP) to first decline and then rise in the process of development. Long considered to be a ‘stylised fact’, the feminisation U is actually supported by mixed evidence. This research identifies an important source of heterogeneity in the shape of the feminisation U across countries – the cultural norms and values engendered by the adoption of the plough in pre-industrial times. In line with existing theoretical accounts of the U-curve, which suggest that initial conditions are critical, we find evidence that a tradition of plough use intensifies the U-shaped path of FLFP. Based on a dynamic panel-data estimator, we find evidence of a significantly U-shaped path of FLFP in countries with a history of ancestral plough use, but no such relationship in ‘non-plough countries’. We also explore, and rule out, other potential drivers of heterogeneity (e.g. the timing of the Neolithic revolution), and investigate empirically the causal mechanisms that generate the feminisation U in plough countries. Our results address the empirical controversy surrounding the feminisation U, while shedding new light on the long-run effects of plough adoption.

Doris Ritzberger-Grünwald Director Economic Analysis and Research Department Oesterreichische Nationalbank Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Vienna, Austria T:+43(0)1 40420-7002 doris.ritzberger-gruenwald(a)oenb.at<mailto:doris.ritzberger-gruenwald@oenb.at> www.oenb.at<http://www.oenb.at/> Lamfalussy Research Fellowship Call for projects The European Central Bank (ECB) is seeking applications from promising young researchers for up to five Lamfalussy Fellowships in 2021. The Lamfalussy Fellowship programme<https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/economic-research/programmes/lamfalussy/html/…> was launched in 2003 and aims to promote high-quality research on the structure, integration and performance of the European financial system. The programme is named after the late Baron Alexandre Lamfalussy, the first President of the European Monetary Institute. Each fellowship is endowed with an honorarium of €10,000. The selection committee will be composed of Marie Hoerova (ECB), Agnese Leonello (ECB), Simone Manganelli (ECB), Loriana Pelizzon (Goethe University Frankfurt), Morten Ravn (University College London) and Rafael Repullo (Center for Monetary and Financial Studies). Research projects Successful candidates will be required to write a research paper over the course of 2021 in one of the following areas. (i) Banking and supervision: a. implications of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic for the financial sector, with a focus on corporate insolvencies, non-performing loans and zombie lending; b. cross-border mergers and consolidation of the banking sector; c. changes in banks’ business models. (ii) Non-bank finance: a. the substitutability and complementarity of financial services offered by fintech and other non-bank intermediaries; b. implications for financial stability and monetary policy transmission; c. central bank digital currency. (iii) Future challenges for financial institutions, central banks and prudential authorities: a. climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy; b. monetary policy challenges in a low interest rate environment; c. interaction between monetary and fiscal policy. Lamfalussy Fellows are expected to present their papers at relevant ECB conferences and, ultimately, to have them published in the ECB Working Paper Series and in leading peer-reviewed journals. Candidate profile Applicants should be no more than 36 years old by the deadline for submission. Researchers at the assistant professor level and PhD students whose research is at a very advanced stage are particularly encouraged to apply. None of the authors involved in the paper can be in an employment relationship with the ECB. Applications Applications should be submitted in English and include the following: · a cover letter; · a curriculum vitae; · two letters of recommendation; · a two-page research proposal falling under one of the topics mentioned above; · a statement indicating the candidate’s current sources of funding and date of birth. Applications should be sent by email to lamfalussy.fellowships(a)ecb.europa.eu <mailto:lamfalussy.fellowships@ecb.europa.eu> no later than 31 January 2021 (before 24:00 CET).
