Dezember 2022, 15:30 Uhr Registration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_3CM9J2SPT0OFW7UjyEGCcQ This presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Pao-Li Chang and Shenxi Song. Abstract: Reciprocity is a key principle governing the negotiations under the GATT/WTO agreement, which calls for a balance of concessions among the WTO members. In recent years, however, various politicians across the world have voiced concerns about their country's excessive obligations under the WTO and a lack of reciprocation by their trading partners. Our objective in this paper is to evaluate the degree to which the pattern of applied tariffs across WTO members deviates from a balanced-concession condition. To this end, we employ a quantitative trade model and use alternative definitions of reciprocity to measure the concessions received and given by each country from 1995 to 2011. We find that over time, concessions have become more unbalanced mostly due to an increase in trade imbalances.

Jens Beckert (Köln), Erben in der Leistungsgesellschaft. Ist Besteuerung gerechtfertigt? Koreferat: Dr. Birgit Niessner, Direktorin Hauptabteilung Volkswirtschaft der Österreichischen Nationalbank), Pro- und Cons von Vermögens- und Erbschaftssteuern. Die österreichische Situation Dienstag, 29.11.2022, 17.30-20.00 Uhr, Österreichische Nationalbank, 1090 Wien, Otto Wagner Platz 3 (anschließend Buffet) Zum Thema: Kaum eine Institution ist für die Reproduktion sozialer Ungleichheit so bedeutsam wie die Vererbung von Vermögen. Doch Erbschaften widersprechen dem Leistungsprinzip, mit dem in modernen Gesellschaften soziale Ungleichheit gerechtfertigt wird. Wie gehen wir mit diesem Widerspruch um? Welche Kontroversen entspannen sich um die Vermögensvererbung? Welche normativen Ansprüche werden im Erbrecht reguliert? Jens Beckert ist seit 2005 Direktor des Max-Planck-Instituts für Gesellschaftsforschung (MPIG) Köln und Professor für Soziologie an der Universität zu Köln. Er studierte Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Wirtschaftssoziologie, forschte und lehrte an Universitäten in Bremen, Göttingen, Harvard, Princeton und Cornell. Buchpublikationen (u.a.): Erben in der Leistungsgesellschaft (Frankfurt 2013), Imaginierte Zukunft. Fiktionale Erwartungen an die Dynamik des Kapitalismus (Berlin 2018), The Architecture of Illegal Markets (Oxford 2017).
