The emergence of global value chains has radically changed the organisation of production in the EU economy. In particular, the increasingly fine-grained international division of labour has made it possible for countries to specialise in individual business functions of the value chain. In a study funded by the Hans-Böckler-Stiftung, the Vienna Institute for International Economics Studies (wiiw) and the Gdańsk University of Technology investigate the positions of EU member states along this functional dimension _...more [https://wiiw.ac.at/global-value-chains-functional-specialisation-and-labour… We hope that you'll be able to join us!

Theory & Policy Talk, W. Frimmel, October 20
by Hutter, Julia 14 Oct '22

14 Oct '22

Dear all, we want to invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk on Thursday, October 20, 5:00 pm (Seminarroom DB04 yellow, Freihaus Building, yellow area, 4th floor) Mandatory Wage Posting, Bargaining and the Gender Wage Gap Wolfgang Frimmel (JKU) https://www.jku.at/en/department-of-economics/team/wolfgang-frimmel/ We evaluate whether revealing wage information in job vacancies is able to change the gender wage gap. In 2011, the Austrian Equal Treatment Law mandated every vacancy to include a minimum wage offer. This mandatory wage information makes the employer’s willingness to pay and the value of outside options more salient to job applicants, thus changing bargaining options. Our general results show a small effect of the provision of wage information, reducing the gender gap somewhat. Taking up the bargaining argumentation, we split the sample into vacancies where a higher or a lower bargaining power of firms is to be expected and find a strong and significant reduction of the gender wage gap for jobs which are immediately available and need to be filled urgently. The effect is driven by an increase in female wages. There is no such effect for jobs positions which are not urgently vacant. There is no evidence for changes in vacancy characteristics, meaning the estimated effects come from the provision of wage information rather than different job descriptions and amenities offers. We also show that effects are unlikely to come from changes in the composition of employees and firms as well as from increased returns to labor market experience.

WU Economics Research Seminar, 19.10.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Francesco Venturini (University of Perugia)
by Oberhofer, Harald 12 Oct '22

12 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, October 19th, with Francesco Venturini (University of Perugia) on "Returns to Innovation and Income Inequality: A Centenary Perspective" Abstract: This paper investigates the role of research productivity in explaining the evolution of income inequality in the last one hundred years. We develop a Schumpeterian growth model featuring an endogenous income distribution, which predicts that innovation impacts income inequality with two counteracting forces, a positive one associated with the increase in asset returns and a negative one related to the dissipation of innovation rents due to creative destruction. Using historical data for 21 OECD countries over the period 1920-2019, we estimate the long-run relationship between research productivity and income inequality and simulate the dynamic response of inequality to an institutional shock that facilitated international patenting and, hence, promoted the exploitation of innovation rents by firms. Our estimates reveal a strong, positive association between research productivity and income inequality, with the asset returns channel being the dominant mechanism of transmission. Date: Wednesday, October 19th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.133 With best regards, Harald Oberhofer --- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Harald Oberhofer Department of Economics WU Vienna University of Economics and Business Phone: +43/1/31336-4984 Fax: +43/1/31336-4984 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wu.ac.at> Webpage: https://www.wu.ac.at/ie/mitarbeiter/harald-oberhofer/ Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) Phone: +43/1/7982601-468 Fax: +43/1/7989386 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer

Research talk at IIASA, 2.00pm to 3.30pm, Florian Huber (University of Salzburg)
by KRISZTIN Tamas 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Dear colleagues, The International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) cordially invites you to a research talk on October 20th, with Florian Huber (University of Salzburg) on “Bayesian Modeling of Time-varying Parameters Using Regression Trees” Abstract: In light of widespread evidence of parameter instability in macro-Economic models, many time-varying parameter (TVP) models have been proposed. This paper proposes a nonparametric TVP-VAR model using Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART). The novelty of this model arises from the law of motion driving the parameters being treated nonparametrically. This leads to great flexibility in the nature and extent of parameter change, both in the conditional mean and in the conditional variance. In contrast to other nonparametric and machine learning methods that are black box, inference using our model is straightforward because, in treating the parameters rather than the variables nonparametrically, the model remains conditionally linear in the mean. Parsimony is achieved through adopting nonparametric factor structures and use of shrinkage priors. In an application to US macroeconomic data, we illustrate the use of our model in tracking both the evolving nature of the Phillips curve and how the effects of business cycle shocks on inflationary measures vary nonlinearly with movements in uncertainty. Date Thursday, October 20th Time 2.00 to 3.30 pm (CET) Location: Wodak room International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Schloßplatz 1, 2361 Laxenburg, Austria For administrative reasons we would kindly ask you to register here<https://forms.gle/5eb4HxyM6pb8Nr9H8> if you would like to attend this event.
