Theory & Policy talks: M. Böck on May 5 and T.L. Molnár on May 6
by Hutter, Julia 22 Apr '22

22 Apr '22

Dear all, we would like to invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talks: Thursday, May 5, 4:00 pm (Seminarroom DB gelb 05 A, yellow area, 5th floor) Labor Market Institutions, Fiscal Multipliers, and Macroeconomic Volatility Maximilian Böck (Vienna School of International Studies) https://maximilian-boeck.webflow.io/ We study empirically how various labor market institutions – (i) union density, (ii) unemployment benefit remuneration, and(iii) employment protection – shape fiscal multipliers and macroeconomic volatility. Our theoretical model highlights that more stringent labor market institutions attenuate both fiscal spending multipliers and macroeconomic volatility. This is validated empirically by an interacted panel vector autoregressive model estimated for 16 OECD countries. The strongest effects emanate from employment protection, followed by union density. While some labor market institutions mitigate the size or frequency of exogenous shocks, they, however, reinforce their propagation mechanism. The main policy implication is that stringent labor market institutions render cyclical fiscal policies less relevant for macroeconomic stabilization. and on Friday, May 6, 4:00 pm (Seminarroom DB04, Freihaus Building, 4th floor, yellow area) Temporary Non-Employment and Labor Reallocation: Testing a “Job Ladder” Model with Accidents and Recalls Tímea Laura Molnár (CEU) https://people.ceu.edu/timea-laura_molnar How do temporary spells out-of-employment affect individuals’ labor trajectory? To answer this question, we leverage a 50% employer-employee matched dataset from Hungary for years 2009-2017, that also contains the entire history of individuals’ drug prescriptions and medical diagnosis. We use unexpected accidents (e.g., fracture of arm, or dislocations of joints) with arguably no permanent productivity impacts, to identify the effect of random assignment to temporary non-employment. Using both matching and instrumental variable identification strategies and controlling for a rich set of individual- and firm-level characteristics prior accidents, we find that, after non-employment spells following temporary accidents, individuals’ wages decrease substantially for up to two years. We show that most of the wage effect is due to reallocation of workers to lower quality employers (captured by firm size, ownership structure and AKM firm effect). We interpret our results through the lens of an augmented “job ladder” model, in which individuals receive alternative take-it-or-leave-it wage offers from firms and potentially suffer accidents which may push them into the state of non-employment. In such an environment, conditional on not suffering an accident, wages grow via job switching (both within and across employers). In a non-employment spell following an accident, the individual becomes less selective on which wage offer to accept relative to when she had a job. Thus, upon receiving a health shock and not having the option to return to their previous employer, the individual “falls from the job ladder”. However, even if the individual is able to return to the same exact job after recovery, her wage is smaller than in the counterfactual of no accident; the intuition is that she did not have the opportunity to receive alternative job offers that she would have received had she remained employed, and thus foregoes the opportunity to “climb the job ladder”. Both mechanisms alter the entire labor trajectory of individuals, with persistent wage and reallocation effects.

WU Economics Research Seminar, 27.04.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Lisa Windsteiger (Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance)
by Oberhofer, Harald 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, April 27th, with Lisa Windsteiger (Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance) on "Why is support for rent control so high? Evidence from a survey experiment" Abstract: We conduct a survey experiment among 18,000 respondents in Germany to examine the determinants of support for rent control policies. Comparing the effects of five information treatments on support for the Berlin rent cap, a drastic form of rent control introduced in 2020, allows us to disentangle the reasons behind respondents' widespread support for the policy. We find that support for rent control is driven by insufficient consideration of undesirable price and supply effects, and by a strong desire to prevent displacement of low-income tenants. While our information treatments shift support for the policy into the hypothesized direction on average, the effects generally diminish for individuals with (large) misperceptions. Our results suggest that mere information provision about the effects of a policy is not sufficient to effectively alter views on the policy. Date: Wednesday, April 27th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building TC, fifth floor, room TC.5.18 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

The event will take place according to the current safety regulations regarding covid-19. <https://massmailer.univie.ac.at/action/mlr/lk?&idx=748999&url=nUE0pUZ6Yl93n…> Register here The University of Vienna, the Vienna University of Technology and the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration have founded the "Dockner Lectures", in memory of one of the most renowned Austrian economists, Engelbert Dockner, who passed away in 2017. In his Ph. D. thesis, Engelbert Dockner derived an elegant stability analysis of two-state optimal control models. Another of his path-breaking contributions is the 'blue bible' on 'Differential Games in Economics and Management Science' (joint with Jorgensen, Long and Sorger). For most of his career, he was a Professor of Finance and worked on diverse topics such as asset pricing, risk dynamics, and financial market structures. <https://massmailer.univie.ac.at/action/mlr/im?&idx=962995&img=nUE0pUZ6Yl9gL…> The Dockner Lectures started in 2019 with Ngo Van Long (McGill University) at the Vienna University of Technology. In 2020 and 2021, the planned event at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Statistics had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Therefore, we are pleased to announce this year's Dockner Lecture by Cars Hommes, who is Professor of Economic Dynamics at the University of Amsterdam. We are looking forward to your participation at this year's Dockner Lecture!
