Our Inflation Perception Indicator (IPI) for Germany is based on a corpus of three million articles published by broadsheet newspapers between January 2001 and February 2022. It is designed to detect thematic trends, thereby providing new insights into the dynamics of inflation perception over time. Methodically, the IPI makes use of RollingLDA, a dynamic topic modeling approach refining the rather static original LDA to allow for changes in the model’s structure over time. We then use time series for the overall inflation perception indicator as well as for specific topics to analyze time-varying correlations with time series for inflation expectations of firms and households. Our results reveal that the link between reporting about inflation and changes in inflation expectations is time-dependent. During periods of intensive newspaper coverage of inflation developments, a correlation with inflation expectations emerges that does not exist at other times. Such correlations are evident after the introduction of the euro, during the financial crisis and during the recent energy price shock.

CEU seminar: Vadim Marmer (UBC), May 3 (Wed) 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Vadim Marmer (UBC Vancouver School of Economics), who will present "Informed Entry in First-Price Auctions" (joint with Jun Ma (Renmin U) and Pai Xu (HKU)) -- you are cordially invited to attend his in-person seminar. Time and venue: May 3, Wednesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322 at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Vienna). Abstract: We study the role of information in first-price auctions with selective entry. In this model, bidders do not know their actual values before entering and only observe imperfect signals. We use a semiparametric copula-based model to identify and estimate the information effects. More informative signals are favorable to the seller because the value distribution for entering bidders is more stochastically dominant. However, due to the entry cost, the equilibrium effect of more informative signals may reduce entry and reduce the seller's expected revenue. We estimate the model using data from Texas Department of Transportation (TDoT) procurement auctions and find that there is an optimal level of signals' informativeness, and TDoT should prefer well (although not perfectly) informed bidders.

by Adam Zawadowski 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

CEU is organizing the second student conference in economics and related fields (incl. finance) this summer. The first one last year was a great success (https://economics.ceu.edu/undergraduate-conference/past-meetings) It is a very valuable opportunity for early-career researchers to share their work, get feedback, meet like-minded students, and get a feeling for what it is like to attend an academic conference. We plan on an in-person event on August 23-25 at CEU in Vienna and we will fully or partially cover the participation cost of all applicants who have been accepted for the conference. All details and information can be found on the website: <https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> Student Conference in Economics: Jump-Starting Your Research Career | Department of Economics and Business<https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> economics.ceu.edu<https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> [favicon.ico]<https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> Please share this opportunity with students and encourage them to apply.

CEU seminar: Elisabeth Kempf (Harvard Business School), Tue April 25, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Elisabeth Kempf (Harvard Business School), who will present "The Political Polarization of Corporate America" (the paper is joint with Vyacheslav Fos and Margarita Tsoutsoura) -- you are cordially invited to attend her in-person seminar. Time and venue: April 25, Tuesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322 at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Vienna). Abstract: Executive teams in U.S. firms are becoming increasingly partisan. We establish this new fact using political affiliations from voter registration records for top executives of S&P 1500 firms between 2008 and 2020. The new fact is explained by both an increasing share of Republican executives and increased assortative matching by executives on political affiliation. Departures of politically misaligned executives are value-destroying for shareholders, implying the increasing political polarization of corporate America may not be in the financial interest of shareholders.

OeNB-Gastprofessor Prof. Dr. Emanuel Mönch im Dialog mit OeNB-Gouverneur Univ.-Prof. Dr. Professor Robert Holzmann Moderation: Assoz. Prof. Dr. Paul Pichler Termin: Montag, 15. Mai 2023 Beginn: 18:00 Uhr Ort: Skylounge, Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Wien Nach dem Dialog laden wir zum gemeinsamen Ausklang mit Buffet.

Davor ist er Professor für Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Goethe-Universität Frankfurt gewesen. Als Forschungsleiter war er an der Deutschen Bundesbank. Und der hatte die Position des Research Officer bei der Federal Reserve Bank of New York inne. Über die OeNB-Gastprofessur Der Oesterreichischen Nationalbank (OeNB) und der Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften ist der akademische Diskurs zu wirtschaftspolitischen Kernfragen ein großes Anliegen. Aus diesem Grund wurde zum 200-jährigen Bestehen der OeNB und zum 650-jährigen Jubiläum der Universität Wien die "OeNB Gastprofessur" ins Leben gerufen. Seit 2016 wird jedes Jahr ein*e Gastprofessor*in an die Fakultät für Wirtschaftswissenschaften eingeladen und hält eine Lehrveranstaltung zu geld- und fiskalpolitischen Themen ab. Teil des Programms sind zudem eine Public Lecture und die öffentliche Diskussion zu einem aktuellen Thema. Nach einer pandemiebedingten, zweijährigen Pause freuen wir uns, das Programm fortzusetzen - der OeNB Dialog bildet Highlight und Schlusspunkt der jährlichen Gastprofessur.
