by Elisabeth Neppl 24 May '22

24 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we warmly would like to invite you to a high-profile Panel Discussion and Conference on 3 June 2022 from 9.30 am - 2.30 pm at the Library Center at WU Vienna. How does a globally and regionally fair climate policy work? WIFO Director and WU Professor Gabriel Felbermayr will discuss this with Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler, Eugénia Da Conceição-Heldt (TU Munich) and Ottmar Edenhofer (TU Berlin, MCC, PIK) on 3 June 2022 at 1:00 p.m. The discussion will be led by ORF moderator Marcus Wadsak. The panel discussion will take place in German language at the campus of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (Building LC, Festsaal 2, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna) as part of the project "The Role of Structural Change and Distributional Effects" (ROCHADE). WU Vienna and WIFO are local partners. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Austrian National Bank are sponsoring the event. The panel discussion will be preceded by an English based, scientific ROCHADE conference. Do ambitious climate policies prevent economic development? Do rising CO2 prices burden poor households in the global South in particular? These questions will be discussed with leading international scholars researching the development and distributional impacts of climate policy and the transformation of the global energy system. Conference program at a glance: 9:30-9:45 Opening Remarks - Prof. Gabriel Felbermayr, WIFO, WU Vienna 9:45-10:30 Mitigation policies in a globalized and developing world: the role of structural change and distributional effects (ROCHADE) - Prof. Jan Steckel, BTU Cottbus, MCC 10:30-10:45 Break 10:45-11:15 Putin's war, distributional justice and climate policy options - Lessons from an optimal taxation model for Germany - Prof. Ottmar Edenhofer, TU Berlin, MCC, PIK 11:15-11:45 Global energy regime complexity: the challenges ahead - Prof.in Eugénia da Conceição-Heldt, TU Munich 11:45-12:15 Feasibility of climate change mitigation in the real world - Prof.in Jessica Jewell, Chalmers University of Technology Gothenburg 12:15-13:00 Break 13:00-14:30 Panel discussion in German with * Eugénia Da Conceição-Heldt, Professorin TU München * Ottmar Edenhofer, Professor TU Berlin, MCC, PIK * Gabriel Felbermayr, Direktor WIFO, Professor WU Wien * Leonore Gewessler, Österreichische Klimaschutzministerin * Marcus Wadsak, Moderation, ORF Find more details here: https://www.wifo.ac.at/en/news/fair_climate_policy_at_global_and_regional_l… Elisabeth Neppl-Oswald [cid:image001.jpg@01D86F61.959D6260] Veranstaltungen | Events Kompetenzzentrum Konjunktur- und Unternehmensbefragungen | Coordinator Competence Centre Business Surveys T +43 1 798 26 01 228 E elisabeth.neppl(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:elisabeth.neppl@wifo.ac.at> [cid:image002.png@01D86F61.959D6260] Österreichisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Austrian Institute of Economic Research A-1030 Wien, Arsenal, Objekt 20 www.wifo.ac.at<http://www.wifo.ac.at/>

WU Economics Research Seminar, 1.6.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Albrecht Glitz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
by Oberhofer, Harald 24 May '22

24 May '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, June 1st, with Albrecht Glitz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) on "Labor Market Competition and the Assimilation of Immigrants" Abstract: In this paper, we show that the wage assimilation of immigrants is the result of the intricate interplay between individual skill accumulation and dynamic labor market equilibrium effects. If immigrants and natives are imperfect substitutes, rising immigrant inflows will widen the wage gap between them. Using a simple production function framework in which workers supply both general and host-country-specific skills, we show that this labor market competition channel can explain about one fifth of the large increase in the average immigrant-native wage gap across arrival cohorts in the United States since the 1960s. Date: Wednesday, June 1st Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building TC, 5th 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

+++ CORRECTION +++ WIC Colloquium & ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk, June, 1: Hippolyte d'Albis - Macroeconomic Consequences of the Substitutability between Natives and Immigrants in the Labor Market +++ CORRECTION+++

WIC Colloquium & ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk ********************* Hippolyte d'Albis, Paris School of Economics Macroeconomic Consequences of the Substitutability between Natives and Immigrants in the Labor Market Wednesday, June 1st 2022, 17:00 (CEST) TU Wien, Wiedner Hauptstraße 8, 1040 Wien (Seminarroom DB gelb 04, yellow area, 4th floor) Registration: Please write an email to Julia.Hutter(a)tuwien.ac.at<mailto:Julia.Hutter@tuwien.ac.at>. Abstract: Previous empirical studies have concluded that natives are not infinitely substitutable to immigrants in the labor market. In this article, we first explore the macroeconomic consequences of this fact with a neoclassical growth model. We show that the employment rate increases with the immigration rate if and only if the share of immigrants in the population is below a threshold. This condition is shown to be key for the dynamic analysis of both capital and income per capita. Most notably, steady-state income per capita increases with the immigration rate if and only if the share of immigrants is below the aforementioned threshold. Using a panel of OECD countries for 1985-2018, we then provide an empirical assessment of the impact of migration on employment rate, which suggests that the share of immigrants in the population is actually below the theoretical theshold. About the presenter: Hippolyte d'Albis is a senior researcher at CNRS, specialized in economic demography. He is also professor at the Paris School of Economics, director of the École HED -a graduate school of demography-, president of the Cercle des économistes, director of the French team of the National Transfer Accounts network, co-director of the French Regional Database, associate editor of the Journal of Demographic Economics and the Journal of the Economics of Ageing and member of the editorial advisory board of the Public Finance Review.

WIC Hybrid Colloquium: Jenny Trinitapoli - An Epidemic of Uncertainty - Tue, May 31
by wic-colloquium＠wittgensteincentre.info 19 May '22

19 May '22

WIC Colloquium (hybrid format) ********************* Jenny Trinitapoli, University of Chicago An Epidemic of Uncertainty Tuesday, May, 31st, 2022, 10:00-11:00 (CEST) Please register for the presentation here until Monday, May 30, 10:00 (CEST): https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registratio n Abstract: After a four-decades-long battle against HIV, the standard global-health metrics have started to point to good news: new infections are down, prevalence has stabilized, life-saving antiretroviral drugs are widely available, mother-to-child transmission is lower than ever, and AIDS-related mortality has declined. But in the wake of pandemic AIDS, an epidemic of uncertainty persists. In Malawi, adult prevalence of HIV has been steady at roughly 14% since 2000; yet at any given point in time, half the young-adult population doesn't know their HIV status. I argue that AIDS-related uncertainty is measurable, pervasive, and impervious to biomedical solutions. The consequences of uncertainty are pertinent to multiple domains of life including relationship stability, fertility, health, and well-being. Even as HIV is transformed from a progressive, fatal infection to a chronic and manageable condition, the accompanying epidemic of uncertainty remains central to understanding social life in this part of the world. About the presenter: Jenny Trinitapoli is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago, where she also directs the Center for International Social Science Research. Her training is in two areas: social demography & the sociology of religion. Bridging these two fields, her work features the demographer's characteristic concern with data quality and denominators and an insistence on connecting demographic processes to questions of meaning.More Information: More information: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/PDF/Colloquium/2022 /Hybrid_Colloquium_Announcement_Trinitapoli.pdf

The e-lecture will be moderated by Ernest Gnan, OeNB I SUERF. Motivation Energy and commodity price shocks, amplified by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, have weakened the post-pandemic economic recovery both in the euro area and globally. Euro area sovereigns, corporates and households, after just having weathered the challenges from the pandemic, are facing new pressures that could test debt sustainability for the more highly indebted groups. While banks have shown striking resilience to the pandemic shock, the probability of credit and interest rate risks materializing has increased. Market functioning has been largely orderly during recent volatility – what are the risks of further corrections? Non-banks, while having been effectively shielded from the pandemic, are now exposed to duration, credit, and liquidity risks – what might the global normalization of monetary policies amid an economic slowdown imply? These are among the topics addressed in this e-lecture where the ECB is going to present its latest Financial Stability Review. Participants are encouraged to actively engage in the discussion, ask questions and bring in their own views. The Financial Stability Review<https://www.ecb.europa.eu/pub/financial-stability/fsr/html/index.en.html> provides an overview of potential risks to financial stability in the euro area. It aims to promote awareness in the financial industry and among the public of euro area financial stability issues. It is published twice a year, with the next release date set to 25 May 2022.
