Dear All, Please find below the invitation to the IN PERSON CEU Economic Seminar Series (CESS) presentation. On Tuesday, Giulia Giupponi<https://genderlab.unibocconi.eu/giulia-giupponi> (Bocconi) will talk about: ‘Forward-Looking Labor Supply Responses to Changes in Pension Wealth: Evidence from Germany’ (with Elisabeth Artmann and Nicola Fuchs-Schuendeln) Time and venue: October 17, Tuesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, at Quellenstrasse 51 (Vienna), QS B-505. Abstract We provide new evidence of forward-looking labor supply responses to changes in pension wealth. We exploit a 2014 German reform that increased pension wealth for mothers by an average of 4.4% per child born before January 1, 1992. Using administrative data on the universe of working histories, we implement a difference-in-differences design comparing women who had their first child before versus after January 1, 1992. We document significant reductions in labor earnings, driven by intensive margin responses. Our estimates imply that, on average, an extra euro of pension wealth in a given period reduces unconditional labor earnings by 54 cents. Please sign up for the seminar at this link<https://forms.office.com/e/Ng3PkpG12W> till 12pm, the day before the seminar!

WU Economics Research Seminar, 18.10.2023, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Pamela Campa (Stockholm School of Economics)
by Oberhofer, Harald 10 Oct '23

10 Oct '23

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, October 18th, with Pamela Campa (Stockholm School of Economics) on "Facing the Hard Truth: Evidence from Climate-Change Ignorance" Abstract: Public ignorance around climate change remains high in many countries, including the United States, where in 2020 only 72% of adults reported to believe that global warming is happening. In this paper, we show that information avoidance contributes at explaining climate ignorance. Exploiting mass-layoffs of coal miners in the US and a difference-in-differences design we find that climate ignorance shrinks less in counties affected by the layoffs as compared to other coal-mining counties. An instrumental variable strategy that uses geographic variation in gas prices to predict mine closures strongly suggests that the layoffs causally impact beliefs about climate change. We also employ a triple difference-in-differences strategy that compares layoffs from coal and metal mines to understand the underlying causes of persistent climate change ignorance in communities experiencing layoffs. Our triple difference results confirm that information avoidance is specific to coal-mining communities suggesting that protecting identity plays an important role. Date: Wednesday, October 18th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D3, ground floor, room D3.0.218 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

‌ [60 Jahre IHS Sujet] <https://ihs.ac.at/> ‌ ‌ Heinrich Neisser Lecture 2023 — Ernst Fehr Das menschliche Streben nach Fairness und Gleichheit Wirtschaftliche Folgen und Politimplikationen Montag, 20. November 2023, 17 Uhr Institut für Höhere Studien, Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Wien, Hörsaal E02 ________________________________ Zur Veranstaltung Jahrtausende lebte der Homo sapiens unter extrem egalitären Bedingungen, die durch Teilen von Ressourcen und politische Gleichheit zum Ausdruck kamen. Dieses egalitäre Erbe lässt sich auch heute noch nachweisen. Der Vortrag dokumentiert diesen Egalitarismus und zeigt, dass sich Menschen durch drei globale und fundamental unterschiedliche Typen von Verhaltensmotiven charakterisieren lassen, die bedeutende Folgen für Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft haben. Das Institut für Höhere Studien lädt herzlich zur diesjährigen Heinrich-Neisser-Lecture ein, am Montag, 20. November 2023, um 17 Uhr. Zu Gast ist der im deutschsprachigen Raum seit Jahren einflussreichste und vielzitierte Ökonom: Ernst Fehr, Professor der Mikroökonomik und experimentellen Wirtschaftsforschung an der Universität Zürich. Nach der Eröffnung durch den Präsidenten des IHS, Franz Fischler, und den Wissenschaftlichen Direktor des IHS, Holger Bonin, wird Ernst Fehr einen Vortrag über „Das menschliche Streben nach Fairness und Gleichheit“ halten. Im Anschluss an die Publikumsdiskussion lädt die Institutsleitung zum Empfang mit Speisen und Getränken.

CESS at CEU: Alexander Monge-Naranjo (Fed St. Louis) on 10/10 Tue
by Mats Koster 04 Oct '23

04 Oct '23

Dear All, Please find below the invitation to the IN PERSON CEU Economic Seminar Series (CESS) presentation. On Tuesday, Alexander Monge-Naranjo<https://hceconomics.uchicago.edu/people/alexander-monge-naranjo> (Fed St. Louis) will talk about: ‘Of Cities and Slums’ (Pedro Cavalcanti Ferreiraz and Luciene Torres de Mello Pereira) Time and venue: October 10, Tuesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, at Quellenstrasse 51 (Vienna), QS B-505. ABSTRACT: We examine the emergence and consequences of urban slums along a country’s path to urbanization. Based on salient evidence from Brazilian labor, housing, and education markets, we study the interaction of slums with structural transformation and inequality. Urban slums are an intergenerational stepping-stone only for the lowest educated, explaining their emergence and persistence over time. In the past slums might have helped with Brazil’s human capital formation but at least since 2010 slums are a hindrance. Countries that missed the opportunity to improve rural schools and avoid the formation of slums should target improving schools in the slums. Please sign up for the seminar at this link<https://forms.office.com/e/98yh0rNE51> till 12pm, the day before the seminar!

‌ [60 Jahre IHS Sujet] <https://ihs.ac.at/> ‌ ‌ Arbeitsmarkt: Fit für die Energiewende? Vortrag und Podiumsdiskussion Donnerstag, 30.

Der massive Ausbau erneuerbarer Energietechnologien – Sonne, Wind, Wasser sowie Biomasse und Biogas – soll die zeitnahe Transformation des Energiesystems ermöglichen und ist damit ein wesentlicher Hebel im Kampf gegen die Klimakrise. Dieser Ausbau stellt sowohl für die Wirtschaft als auch für den Arbeitsmarkt und den ländlichen Raum einen beträchtlichen Impuls dar. Der Haken dabei: Bei den dafür benötigten Arbeitskräften besteht schon jetzt ein Engpass, Tendenz steigend. Der Fachkräftemangel zählt demnach zu den größten Herausforderungen bei der Umsetzung der Energiewende. Wie und woher bekommen wir die benötigten Arbeitskräfte? Welche strukturellen Veränderungen, beispielsweise im ländlichen Raum und am internationalen Arbeitsmarkt, zieht der Ausbau der erneuerbaren Energieträger nach sich? Diese und weitere Fragen werden in der Veranstaltung diskutiert.
