Dear colleagues, we need to move Wednesday's research seminar online. Please find below the zoom-link to attend the presentation: https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/94542222885?pwd=M25CanJKTmtnS003RHdBUVhOVWVIUT09. All the best Harald Oberhofer Von: Oberhofer, Harald Gesendet: Mittwoch, 17. November 2021 08:45 An: 'noeg-l(a)wu.ac.at' <noeg-l(a)wu.ac.at> Betreff: WU Economic Research Seminar, 24.11.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Josef Falkinger (University of Zurich) Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar on Wednesday, November 24th, with Josef Falkinger (University of Zurich) on "On the future of economics" Abstract: In this lecture I am looking back on economics and ask myself: What would I see if I could look back in fifty years or so? As methodological approach I take the view that in historical perspective a science is successful if it helps to understand and to deal with the problems of the time. >From this vantage point the current state of economics is compared with the state of economic reality. History is partly a made object which on the one side follows drivers beyond human control and on the other side is also shaped by what we think and do. This applies in particular to the history of economic reality and its scientific investigation. The lecture outlines two scenarios for the future history of economics: a more fatalistic one in which unregulated economic evolution is the dominating frame; and a more proactive one with progressing work on new fundamental problems. Date: Wednesday, November 24th 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: 2.5G proof and controls * You should only attend classroom units if you are not ill. * To participate in presence units, you have to show a 2.5G certificate (PCR-Tested, Vaccinated, Convalescent) upon request.

Our empirical analysis combines data on the industry-level stock of industrial robots with firms' balance sheet data for six European countries from 2004 to 2013. We find that robots disproportionally raise productivity in those firms that are already most productive to begin with. Those firms are able to increase their markups and overall profits, while they tend to decline for less profitable firms within the same industry, country and year. We also show that robots contribute to the falling aggregate labor income share through a rising concentration of industry sales in highly productive firms with low firm-specific labor shares. In sum, our paper suggests that robots boost the emergence of superstar firms within European manufacturing, and thereby shifts the functional income distribution away from wages and towards profits.

WIC online Colloquium - 23.11.2021, 11.00-12.00 CET, Alina Schmitz
by Simunics, Barbara 17 Nov '21

WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Alina Schmitz, TU Dortmund Gendered Experiences of Widowhood and Depression Across Europe: The Role of Loneliness and Financial Resources from a Longitudinal Perspective Tuesday, November 23rd, 2021 11:00-12:00 (CET) Please register for the presentation here until one day before the presentation 10:00 (CET): https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration Login information will be sent to registered participants the day before the presentation. Abstract Numerous studies document the detrimental consequences of widowhood on mental health. Yet widowhood is - especially for women - a central experience of ageing so that it has been questioned whether women adapt to widowhood more easily. Previous research has provided mixed answers, reflecting both methodological and substantive issues, such as differences in statistical modeling and study samples. Furthermore, prior research largely ignores the societal context, although the social consequences of widowhood may vary according to macrosocial conditions. Thus, the mental health consequences of widowhood may both be gendered and context - specific. Based on longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), this study analyses the gendered experiences of widowhood and depressive symptoms in four European regions. A special focus lies on the contribution of loneliness and reduced financial resources to the detrimental effect of widowhood on mental health.

Deep integration into GVCs also benefited Central, Eastern and Southeastern European (CESEE) economies. In recent years, the pace of GVC integration seems to have lost some steam, however. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been yet another wake-up call highlighting the risks and benefits of increasing interconnectedness. Putting the spotlight on the CESEE region, the CEEI 2021 sets out to explore the following questions: * In times of crisis, does deep GVC integration amplify, or mitigate, swings in economic activity? * What should policymakers and businesses do to achieve and sustain a recovery and make GVCs more resilient? * What can we expect from structural shifts, such as the digital transformation of economies and the greening of production? The Conference is organized by the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) in cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB). The organisers will bring together high-ranking representatives from central banks, international organizations, industry and academia for two afternoons of insightful presentations and thought-provoking discussions. DATES AND TIMES Monday, November 22: 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm (CET) Dinner speech: 7:00 pm (CET) Tuesday, November 23: 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm (CET) CONFERENCE AGENDA The FULL CONFERENCE AGENDA can be found here [https://www.oenb.at/en/Calendar/2021/2021-11-22-ceei.html] REGISTRATION Join us for this year's CEEI by REGISTERING UNDER EVENT-MANAGEMENT(a)OENB.AT BY NOVEMBER 15, 2021, at the latest.

FIW-Forschungskonferenz (neue Frist) 2nd CALL for PAPERS for the 14th FIW-Research Conference ‘International Economics’ 24-25 February 2022 Submission Deadline: 19th November 2021 KEYNOTE LECTURE: NATALIE CHEN (University of Warwick) OUTLINE The Research Centre International Economics - FIW announces its 14th Research Conference ‘International Economics’ and invites the submission of (full) working papers to be presented at the conference. The main objective of the conference is to provide a platform for economists working in the field of ‘International Economics’ to present recent research. Papers from Ph.D. students, young faculty members and young researchers in similar positions are particularly welcome as the conference aims to support and encourage young economists by providing an opportunity to present their work to fellow junior economists as well as experienced senior researchers. The conference also aims at bringing together researchers and policy makers to provide a forum for a discussion on how empirical evidence can more effectively inform actual economic policy making. TIME & LOCATION The 14th FIW Research Conference on ‘International Economics’ will take place online on Thursday, 24th February 2022 and Friday, 25th February 2022 at the Vienna University of Economics & Business (WU), Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria. FIW conferences have always been about informal, as well as formal, interactions amongst participants. It was unfortunate that we had to host the conference in 2021 as an online event due to the pandemic. Given the current situation in Austria, we expect that the 14th FIW-Conference will run face-to-face in Vienna. If necessary, the FIW-team will try its best to make online-participation (i.e., present papers and attend selected sessions) possible. Guidelines on required safety-measures for participants will be communicated as soon as possible. PAPER SUBMISSION We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics in the field of International Economics. AWARDS Two prizes for the best contributions to the Research Conference will be awarded - the ‘Best Conference Paper Award 22’ and the ‘Young Economist Award 22’. Each award is worth € 1000. The ‘Young Economist Award 22’ is intended for Ph.D. students, young faculty members and young researchers in similar positions. To be considered for this award all authors of the paper have to be 34 or younger at the time of submission. TOPICS COVERED The broad topic of the conference is ‘International Economics’. This includes, inter alia, International Trade, International Factor Movements, Economic Integration, Trade Policy, International Trade Organizations, Economic Growth of Open Economies, Multinational Firms, Global Value Chains, International Macroeconomics and other related fields. ORGANISATION The 14th FIW-Research Conference ‘International Economics is jointly organized by FIW, the Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) Regensburg, the University of Ljubljana, the Universita di Bologna, ETH Zurich, the ifo institute, ifW Kiel and Centre for Economic and Regional Studies (KRTK).
