CEU seminar: Raffaele Saggio (UBC), Tue 22/11, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

Dear all, our next speaker in the CEU in-person economic seminar series is Raffaele Saggio (UBC Vancouver School of Economics). Title of the seminar: "Hours Mismatch". Time and venue: November 22, Tuesday, 11.15am-12.30pm; 51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Wien, room: C322. Speaker's website: https://sites.google.com/site/raffaelesaggio/. Abstract: We characterize work hour constraints in the labor market and quantify welfare gains to workers from moving from their current hours to their optimal hours. There is a firm component to work hours that explains approximately 27% of the overall variability in hours. Contrary to predictions from established models of work hours determination, there is no detectable sorting between in worker preferences for longer hours and employer hour requirements. Using a revealed preference approach, we find that workers are off their labor supply curve, on average. The typical worker has an inelastic labor supply and prefers firms that offer more hours. Workers are willing to trade off 9% of earnings on average to move from their current employer to an employer that offers the ideal hours, at a given wage level. For any inquiries, contact the CEU econ seminar organizer, Timea L. Molnar, at molnartl(a)ceu.edu.

WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Alex Ezeh Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University The Place of Demography in Global Development Discourse in the 21st Century Monday, November 21st 2022, 15:00-16:00 (CET) Please register for the presentation 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 shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract Throughout much of the 2nd half of the 20th Century, demographic concerns were at the core of most discourses on global development. It formed a critical component of the priorities of multilateral and bilateral agencies as well as private foundations. The focus was centered around rapid population growth in poorer countries and support for family planning programs accounted for at least three-quarters of the total support for population-related activities. Demographic tools and methods were applied to understand the complex relationships between population change and development outcomes. By the end of the 20th Century, however, the relevance of demography to global development had virtually disappeared. Yet, today, population change ranks alongside climate crisis and growing inequality as existential threats to our current civilization. In this lecture, I offer some thoughts on what happened to demography and why it remains key to improvements in human wellbeing in both rich and poor countries. About the presenter: Dr. Ezeh is Dornsife Professor of Global Health at the Dornsife School of Public Health, Drexel University. His work focuses on urban health, population change, and models to strengthen knowledge-based institutions. Previously, he served as the founding Executive Director of the African Population and Health Research Center and he initiated and directed the Consortium for Advanced Research Training in Africa. He serves on numerous international and non-profit boards, including the UN High-Level Advisory Board for Economic and Social Affairs, and currently co-chairs a new Lancet Commission on Adolescent Health and Wellbeing.

MPFS Lecture by Stefan Gerlach on High Inflation - Fate or Failure? Nov. 25
by Schäfer, Guido 17 Nov '22

17 Nov '22

LECTURE SERIES: MONETARY POLICY AND THE FINANCIAL SECTOR (MPFS) You are cordially invited to the following public lecture: *“High inflation: Fate or Failure?“ * /Stefan Gerlach // //Chief Economist, EFG Bank, former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland/ Time: Friday, November 25, 2022, 10:00-12:00 a.m. Location: Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Welthandelsplatz 1, LC Building, Galerie (ground floor, behind the WU Shop) Would you please register for the event by email (Cornelia.Berger(a)wu.ac.at) Current record-high inflation rates have taken many central bankers by surprise. The broad-based price increases are driven by both supply- and demand-side forces. Disturbances in the global supply chains fuelled by the COVID-19 crisis as well as the weaponizing of energy supplies by Russia on the one side, and pent-up demand after the restart of the economies on the other side drive the strong price increases. Central banks are responding with unprecedented jumps in official interest rates. But are these high inflation rates „fate", the unavoidable consequence of a multitude of unpredictable shocks? Or are they the result of a „failure" of the central banks that ignored the early signs of an inflationary pick-up as „transitory" and then reacted too late? What does this mean for the path of reduction of inflation towards the target values? Stefan Gerlach is Chief Economist at EFG Bank in Zurich. He served as Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Ireland in 2011-2015. Before that, he was Professor of Monetary Economics and Managing Director of the Institute for Monetary and Financial Stability at Goethe University, Frankfurt. He was also External Member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of Mauritius and Member of the Monetary Experts Panel of the European Parliament's Committee on Economic and Monetary Affairs. From 2001-2004 he served as Executive Director and Chief Economist at the Hong Kong Monetary Authority. The public lecture is jointly organized by Aurel Schubert, Honorary Professor at WU Vienna and former Director General Statistics, ECB and by Guido Schäfer, Department of Economics, WU Vienna. ------------ Guido Schäfer Department of Economics, WU Vienna Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria Tel.: + 431 31336 4579 Email: Guido.Schaefer(a)wu.ac.at

WU Economics Research Seminar, 23.11.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Alessandra Allocca (University of Munich)
by Oberhofer, Harald 16 Nov '22

16 Nov '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, November 23rd, with Alessandra Allocca (University of Munich) on "No Man is an Island": An Empirical Study on Team Formation and Performance Abstract: In many organizations, employees select their projects and teams. Is such a decentralized setting efficient? To answer this question, one needs to understand (i) what drives team formation and (ii) how selection impacts teams' performance. For this purpose, I develop a structural entry model with strategic interactions where heterogeneous agents decide whether to join a project. The decision depends on who else may potentially join, the project quality, and other individual and project characteristics. In turn, this decision affects the probability of project completion. I estimate the model using a novel dataset from Virgo, a Nobel-prize-winning scientific collaboration. I find that (i) selection heavily depends on the pool of teammates whereas projects' quality is of lesser importance, and (ii) heterogeneity in agents' characteristics needs to be accounted for to obtain unbiased estimates of teams' performance. With a counterfactual experiment, I show that moving from a decentralized to a centralized world leads to fewer completed projects. The findings inform policy-makers about teams' organization and performance. Date: Wednesday, November 23rd 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 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 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer

Call for Abstracts - Seventh ATHEA Conference “Looking beyond borders: Global Health Economics”
by Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) 15 Nov '22

15 Nov '22

[cid:image001.png@01D8F8DB.CE59D670] Call for Abstracts Seventh ATHEA Conference for Health Economics “Looking beyond borders: Global Health Economics” Vienna, February 23rd and 24th 2023 In most European countries with their highly developed healthcare systems and ageing populations, communicable diseases were of little concern for public health, authorities and researchers compared to their non-communicable counterparts. This changed with the COVID-19 pandemic, which had an impact on societies and health systems world-wide and demonstrated most vividly that health systems do not exist independently of each other. As this year’s general conference theme, we therefore aim to have a look beyond the borders of Europe and see what health economics can contribute to these countries. In order to gain a better understanding of the field, we will organise a thematic stream and invite experts as keynote speakers: Janina Steinert is Professor of Global Health at the Technical University of Munich’s School of Governance and Research Associate at the University of Oxford Marc Suhrcke is Professor of Global Health Economics at the University of York and Senior Researcher at the Luxembourg Institute for Socio-Economic Research (tbc) As in previous years, submissions for presentation are welcome in all fields of health economics and health policy, including long-term care, and are not restricted to the conference topic. Deadline abstract submission (max. 500 words): December 20, 2022 to conference(a)athea.at<mailto:conference@athea.at> Notification abstract acceptance: January 20, 2023 Conference venue: Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS), Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna, Austria Conference languages: English, German Conference fee on site: 95€ ___________________________________________ Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) Josefstädter Straße 39 ● 1080 Wien web: www.athea.at<http://www.athea.at/> ● e-mail: athea(a)athea.at<mailto:athea@athea.at>
