Theory & Policy Talk, D. de la Croix, October 13th
by Hutter, Julia 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Dear all, we would like to invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk: Thursday, October 13, 5:00 pm (Seminarroom DB gelb 03, yellow area, 3rd floor) Winners and Losers from the Protestant Reformation: An Analysis of the Network of European Universities David de la Croix <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fperso.uclouvain.be%2Fdavid.delac…> (UC Louvain) https://perso.uclouvain.be/david.delacroix/ Using a new database of European academics, we provide a global view of the effect of the Protestant Reformation on the network of universities and on their individual importance within the network (centrality). A connection (edge) between two universities (nodes) is defined by the presence of the same scholar in both universities. Protestantism strongly impacted the structure of the network. Dyadic regressions confirm that geography was important as well, but does not substitute for the effect of religion. We isolate the effect of religion on each university centrality comparing simulated networks with and without religious identity. The reorganization of the network induced by the Reformation harmed Protestant universities less than Catholics. As the number of publications per university is strongly correlated with centrality, our simulations lend credence to the view that the loss of connectedness of the Southern European universities after the (Counter-) Reformation was important in triggering their scientific demise.

REMINDER: WIC Online Colloquium - Judith Kohlenberger, Isabella Buber-Ennser and Olena Tarasiuk "Ukrainian Refugees in Vienna: Socio-Demographic Characteristics and Return Intentions", September 21st 2022, 14:00-15:00 (CEST)

WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Judith Kohlenberger, Isabella Buber-Ennser and Olena Tarasiuk Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), Vienna Institute of Demography (VID), International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Ukrainian Refugees in Vienna: Socio-Demographic Characteristics and Return Intentions Wednesday, September 21st 2022, 14:00-15:00 (CEST) 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 As of July 2022, almost six million Ukrainians have fled the ongoing war to European host countries. Neighbouring countries like Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary, but also Western European countries, most notably Germany and Austria, have accepted thousands of refugees and are providing shelter. Two large surveys were conducted simultaneously between April and June in Vienna and Kraków to find out about socio-demographic characteristics, return intentions, attitudes and values. In the presentation we focus in Ukrainians in Vienna and discuss differences and similarities with Ukrainians surveyed in Kraków. Results suggest a highly selective, (upper) urban Ukrainian middle-class in Austria and, to a lesser degree, in Poland, who had resources to travel, work, and study abroad before the war. The farther Ukrainian refugees moved from their home country, the higher their educational attainment, which correlates with their socio-economic background and impacts return intentions. About the presenter: Judith Kohlenberger is a post-doctoral researcher at the Institute for Social Policy, Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU). Isabella Buber-Ennser is leader of the research group "Demography of Austria (DoA)" at the Vienna Institute of Demography (VID). Olena Tarasiuk is a research scholar at IIASA in the Population and Just Societies Program. More Information: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/PDF/Colloquium/2022…

This presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Maria Bas, Lionel Fontagné and Irene Iodice. Abstract: This paper investigates the role played by firms’ managerial skills on the heterogeneous reaction of exporters to real exchange rate changes. Our empirical analysis relies on detailed firm-product-destination level export data from France for the period 1995-2008 matched with specific information on firms’ skill composition by occupation (managers, R&D workers, professionals and technicians). Our findings show that high-skill intensive firms have larger exporter price elasticity to real exchange rate variations and a lower elasticity of export quantities. While a 10% depreciation of the real exchange rate makes firms with sample-average skill intensity charging 0.5% higher export price, we show that this effect is 40% higher for exporters with one standard deviation larger skill intensity. Managers and R&D workers contribute the most to this heterogeneous pricing-to-market behavior offirms. These findings are robust to controlling for the competing explanations of firm productivity and quality. Reminder: Seminar in International Economics: The Political Consequences of Green Policies: Evidence from Italy (Hybrid event) | 06.10.2022 The Competence Centre for International Economics Research (FIW) kindly invites to participate in the Seminar in International Economics on the topic The Political Consequences of Green Policies: Evidence from Italy Italo Colantone Bocconi University Thursday, 6th of October 2022, 2:30 p.m. (CET) Venue: On-site: wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna or Online: via Zoom Registration link for on-site participation: https://wiiw.ac.at/the-political-consequences-of-green-policies-evidence-fr… Registration link for online participation: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GIiwYEHaT3-QquFNPQItLw For participating in discussion at the Q&A session better, we highly recommend on-site particiaption. The presentation is based on a paper<https://www.cesifo.org/en/publikationen/2022/working-paper/political-conseq…> co-authored with Livio Di Lonardo, Yotam Margalit and Marco Percoco. Abstract: For many governments enacting green policies is a priority, but these often entail substantial and uneven costs on citizens. How does the introduction of green policies affect voting? We study this question in the context of a major ban on polluting cars introduced in Milan. The policy was strongly opposed by the right-wing populist party Lega, portraying it as a “radical-chic-leftist” initiative penalizing common people. We show that owners of banned vehicles—who incurred a median loss of €3,750—were significantly more likely to vote for Lega in the subsequent elections. This electoral shift does not stem from increased environmental skepticism, but rather from the perceived unfairness of the policy and its pocketbook implications. In fact, recipients of compensation from the local government were not more likely to switch to Lega. The findings underscore that addressing the distributive consequences is key for advancing green policies that are politically sustainable. The seminar series is organised by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw)<https://wiiw.ac.at/> in co-operation with FIW, the Centre of Competence in International Economics. The seminar provides a forum for presentation and discussion of recent academic research in the field of international economics.

WIC Colloquium (ONSITE ONLY) *************************** Landis MacKellar International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) Covid-19, the Russo-Ukrainian War, the Global Sustainable Development Project, and Post-Twin Crises Demography Discussants: Wolfgang Lutz (Wittgenstein Centre), Andreas Wörgötter (TU Wien) Tuesday, September 27st 2022, 10:00-11:30 (CEST) Main buildung of the ÖAW, Dr. Ignaz Seipel - Platz 2, 1010 Wien, Sitzungssaal, 1. Stock 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 Abstract In this essay, the author submits that the global sustainable development project as currently conceived is foundering and that the twin crises of Covid-19 and the Russo-Ukrainian War have driven a stake through its heart. The old battle yells of equality, equity, and No One Left Behind will be insufficient to revive it. Yet, another global sustainable development project must emerge. What can we learn from the currently failing one? What lessons are we learning, and how can these inform post-2030 sustainable development? About the presenter: Landis MacKellar is an economist and lawyer whose research and writing have spanned demography, the economics of the social sec-tor, and natural resource and environmental economics including climate change. From 2013-2021, he was editor of Population and Development Review. Mr. MacKellar has long been associated, formally or informally, with the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA, www.iiasa.ac.at<http://www.iiasa.ac.at>) in Vienna.

Invitation I "Macroprudential Policy and the End of the Zero-Interest-Rate Environment" • 5 Oct. 2022 • 13:00-17:15 CET • SUERF and NBS Workshop, hybrid/Bratislava
by Gnan, Ernest 14 Sep '22

Dear colleagues You may be interested in the attached workshop. Please feel free to forward to other interested colleagues. Participation is possible either in person or online. Please register here<https://www.suerf.org/registration/9615/nbs>. Kind regards Ernest Gnan Prof Dr Ernest Gnan Secretary General, SUERF – The European Money and Finance Forum www.suerf.org<http://www.suerf.org/> Counsel to the Board Head, Monetary Policy Section Oesterreichische Nationalbank PO box 61, 1011 Vienna, Austria ernest.gnan(a)oenb.at<mailto:ernest.gnan@oenb.at> +43 1 40420 7400 [cid:image002.jpg@01D8C44F.F3C2A5B0] Invitation We have the pleasure of inviting you to the “Macroprudential Policy and the End of the Zero-Interest-Rate Environment”<https://www.suerf.org/nbs> workshop , which the National Bank of Slovakia<https://nbs.sk/en/> in cooperation with SUERF – The European Money and Finance Forum will host as a hybrid event (in person and online) on Wednesday, 5th October 2022. Motivation The current environment of high inflation, tightening monetary policy, and more generally a highly uncertain macroeconomic outlook creates new challenges to macroprudential authorities throughout Europe and the world. Macroprudential policy is still a relatively new economic policy tool, and this is practically the first time since macroprudential policy has become widely used in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis, that policy interest rates are on a clear upward trajectory in response to severe inflationary pressures. As a result, it is currently particularly challenging for macroprudential policy makers to assess the impact of macroprudential tools on the demand and supply of loans, on asset prices, credit risk and other fields related to financial stability. To discuss the potential implications of these development, especially tightening monetary policy, on macroprudential policy, SUERF, together with the National Bank of Slovakia organizes a workshop entitled Macroprudential Policy and the End of the Zero-Interest-Rate Environment<https://www.suerf.org/nbs>. The aim of the workshop is to bring together the cross-country perspective of international organizations and recent country-specific experiences in dealing with this new and challenging environment for macroprudential policy making.
