ECON Theory and Policy talk, NOV. - Christian Glocker
by Hutter, Julia 07 Oct '21

07 Oct '21

Dear all, we would like to invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk in November: Fri, November 12th, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. (Seminarroom DB04 Freihaus building, yellow area) Nontradable Goods and Fiscal Multipliers Christian Glocker (WIFO)<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wifo.ac.at%2Fchristian_glock…> https://www.wifo.ac.at/christian_glocker We assess the role that nontradable goods playas a determinant of fiscal spending multipliers, making use of a two-sector model. While fiscal multipliers increase with the share of nontradable goods, an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between multiplier size and the import share. Employing an interacted panel VAR model for EU countries, we estimate the effect of the share of nontradable goods on fiscal spending multipliers. Our empirical results provide strong evidence for the predictions of the theoretical model. They imply that the drag of fiscal consolidations is on average smaller in countries with a low share of nontradable goods. Due to the available room capacities, we ask you to register by sending a short mail to julia.hutter(a)tuwien.ac.at<mailto:julia.hutter@tuwien.ac.at>. Please note, that your digital COVID certificates (“Grüner Pass”) will be checked at the entrance of the building.

Folgende FIW-Veranstaltungen finden im Herbst 2021 statt: * Einladung zum Seminar im Rahmen des Außenwirtschafts-Curriculum: Außenwirtschaftsförderung und Ausfuhrfinanzierung (Webinar) * Reminder: Growing imbalances of cross-border investment incomes: A ‘Fault Line’ in the Eurozone? (Online event) * Reminder: Market Selection in Global Value Chains (Online event) * Reminder: Climate Change and Internal Migration: Evidence from Global Census Data (Online event) Einladung zum Seminar im Rahmen des Außenwirtschaftscurriculum 2021/22 (Webinar): Außenwirtschaftsförderung und Ausfuhrfinanzierung Das Kompetenzzentrum Forschungsschwerpunkt Internationale Wirtschaft (FIW), die Verwaltungsakademie des Bundes, und das Bundesministerium für Digitalisierung und Wirtschaftsstandort laden Sie und Ihre interessierten Kolleginnen und Kollegen herzlich zur Teilnahme am Außenwirtschafts-Curriculum 2021/2022 ein. Das nächste Seminar zum Thema „Außenwirtschaftsförderung und Ausfuhrfinanzierung“ mit em. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Reinhard Moser (WU); Mag. Ferdinand Schipfer (vormals OeKB) findet am 21. Oktober 2021, 9 bis 11 Uhr als Webinar statt. Anmeldung erforderlich: https://my.demio.com/ref/rIje1759emQrvoJr Den Teilnahmelink erhalten Sie unmittelbar nach der Anmeldung.

Sprache: Englisch Description: The investment income balance has become an important component of current account imbalances – magnitudes above 5% of GDP are not uncommon in major economies. This paper investigates trends, dynamics, and potential determinants of cross-border investment income flows. The essential question I explore in this paper is whether those investment income imbalances can become a substantial problem for countries in the Eurozone, which lacks the exchange rate as an adjustment mechanism for such imbalances. I find no evidence for a particularly persistent or divergent pattern of imbalances in Euro area countries. However, investment incomes behave fundamentally different from other current account components and a negative association between the two is found exclusively for Euro area countries. This calls for a much more differentiated perspective on the current account in academic analysis and policy. Reminder: Einladung zum Seminar in International Economics: Market Selection in Global Value Chains (Online event) Market Selection in Global Value Chains (Online event) Vortragender: Simone Vannuccini, University of Sussex Business School Zeit: Donnerstag, 14.

Sprache: Englisch Description: The presentation is based on a paper<https://www.uni-bamberg.de/fileadmin/uni/fakultaeten/sowi_faecher/vwl/BERG/…> co-authored with Philipp Mundt, Uwe Cantner, Hiroyasu Inoue, and Ivan Savin. The idea that market selection promotes survival and expansion of the “ﬁttest” producers is a key principle underlying theories of competition. Yet, despite its intuitive appeal, the hypothesis that companies with superior productivity also exhibit higher growth lacks empirical support. One reason for this is that companies are not “islands” that produce goods and services in isolation but depend on their suppliers in value chains, implying that excessive growth can also originate in the superior productive performance of these value-chain partners. Neglecting these dependencies in empirical tests of the selection hypothesis leads to measurement errors and may impair the identiﬁcation of competition for the market. In this paper, we use data from the World Input-Output Database to capture these global value-chain relationships in an empirical test for market selection, studying competition between country-sectors for a global market share in diﬀerent economic activities. Compared to the conventional view that focuses on individual productivities, our value-chain perspective on the productivity-growth nexus provides stronger empirical support for market selection. This suggests that the scope of selection reaches beyond the level of individual producers and requires a systemic analysis of production networks. Our ﬁndings contribute to a better understanding of the determinants of selection in competitive environments and also represent a novel application of global value-chain data. Reminder: Einladung zum Seminar in International Economics: Climate Change and Internal Migration: Evidence from Global Census Data (Online event) Climate Change and Internal Migration: Evidence from Global Census Data (Online event) Vortragender: Roman Hoffmann, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis Zeit: Donnerstag, 4. November 2021, 15:00 Uhr Registrierungslink: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vwvjGbVJTTC72Kd8w32jIw Der Einwahllink wird Ihnen unmittelbar nach der Registrierung zugeschickt. Sprache: Englisch Description: In this paper, we provide a systematic comparative analysis of climate-induced internal migration across 69 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean based on the micro census data supplied by the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) International over the period 1960-2015. Using the data from 188 censuses, we construct a longitudinal database at the sub-national regional level (Geo 1 census regions) with information on bilateral migration flows between the regions. Migration is estimated based on information on the previous residence of the census participants five or ten years prior to the respective census date (Garcia et al. 2015). In total, the data contains information on internal migration from 1600 census regions allowing us to estimate approximately 98000 bilateral migration flows. We use gravity-type fixed effects models to estimate internal migration flows induced by temperature and rainfall anomalies as well as drought taking into account both socioeconomic and climate drivers at the origin and destination. All models control for both region of origin as well as destination fixed effects and common time trends. We find a sizeable impact of negative precipitation anomalies, as well as weaker but significant impacts of heat anomalies and droughts on migration. Our findings furthermore suggest that also climatic conditions in destination regions influence migration flows to those regions. Fitting a series of spatial interaction models for different world regions, we find long-term heat stress increases out-migration in Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean while internal migration flows decline in Africa as the frequency of dry years increase. For the latter, the vulnerable subgroups of population may be ‘trapped’ in the place with unfavorable climatic conditions since they do not have necessary resources to facilitate outmigration (Black et al. 2013). Wir freuen uns über Ihre Teilnahme an den Veranstaltungen.

WU Economic Research Seminar, 13.10.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Lawrence E. Blume (Cornell University)
by Oberhofer, Harald 06 Oct '21

06 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar on Wednesday, October 13th, with Lawrence E. Blume (Cornell University) on "Poverty Traps in Markov Models of the Evolution of Wealth" Abstract: Poverty trap models are dynamical systems with more than one attractor. Similar dynamical systems arise in optimal growth and macroeconomic models. These systems are often studied empirically by ad hoc methods relying on intuition from deterministic systems, such as looking for multiple peaks in the stationary distribution of states. We develop Markov wealth processes in which parents' investments in children stochastically determine children's wealth, and consequently their own investment choices. We show that, relative to a zero-shock process, some of the multiple attractors are less fragile than are others, and that their presence dominates the stationary behavior of the wealth distribution. Typically, mass accumulates around attractors. An only slightly stochastically perturbed deterministic system will have an invariant distribution which puts close to probability 1 on a single steady state rather than having significant mass distributed among several attractors. We also examine how policy affects the shape of the invariant distribution. Date: Wednesday, October 13th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.039 The following COVID-19-related regulations apply to all events at the WU campus need to be fulfilled for attending the research seminar: 3G proof and controls * You should only attend classroom units if you are not ill. * To participate in presence units, you have to show a 3G certificate (Tested, Vaccinated, Convalescent) upon request.

TU ECON-Seminar B. Hochmuth, 29.10.
by Hutter, Julia 05 Oct '21

05 Oct '21

Dear all, we would like to invite you to our ECON-Seminar Talk on October 29th, 1:00-2:30 p.m. (Seminarroom DB04 Freihaus building, yellow area): Financial Constraints, Firm Age, and the Labor Market Brigitte Hochmuth (Universität Wien) https://sites.google.com/view/brigittehochmuth/home This paper shows that credit crunches cause labor market effects that are nonlinear over time and heterogeneous by firm age. During the Great Financial Crisis, a credit supply shock caused young firms to reduce employment significantly more than old firms, because the housing bust in 2006 led to a decline in young firms’ housing collateral and restricted their ability to borrow. To understand the underlying mechanism, I propose a financial frictions model with an explicit firm age structure. A simultaneous credit crunch and a decline in young firms’ net worth can reconcile the model with my empirical results. While old firms switch to equity financing, young firms depend on debt financing and cut labor demand. As young firms disproportionately account for aggregate job growth, my findings explain the sluggish labor market recovery after the Great Financial Crisis. A counterfactual experiment shows that absent the net worth shock, the U.S. unemployment rate would have been back to its pre-crisis level two years sooner. Due to the available room capacities, we ask you to register by sending a short mail to Julia.hutter(a)tuwien.ac.at<mailto:Julia.hutter@tuwien.ac.at>. Please note, that your digital COVID certificates (“Grüner Pass”) will be checked at the entrance of the building.
