CEU seminar: Ruben Enikolopov (U Pompeu Fabra), Wed April 19, 11.15am

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Ruben Enikolopov (U Pompeu Fabra), who will present "Have Online Networks Undermined Local Communities? Evidence from Facebook" (joint with Maria Petrova, Gianluca Russo, and David Yanagizawa-Drott) -- you are cordially invited to attend his in-person seminar. Time and venue: April 19, Wednesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322 at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Vienna). Abstract: Online social networks have changed how people interact across large distances. We examine the long-run effect of a key feature of these networks - online homophily - on interpersonal interactions in local communities. Using Facebook data, we measure online homophily across counties in the United States. To identify effects, we exploit a conflict between Facebook and Google in the early expansion phase of Facebook, which induced persistent variation in online homophily across counties. Using various measures of both online and offline behavior, we find evidence that local social interactions have been affected. In particular, homophilic connections made people use Facebook more often but socialize less offline, as measured through bar and restaurant visits. Individuals have also become less connected across income strata. Political opinions within counties became more diverse, with a lowered probability that two voters in a county support the same political party. Overall, our results indicate that when a natural demand for connecting with socially similar people is met by the supply of a `death-of-distance' technology, it comes at the cost of short-distance social cohesion.

[cid:image003.jpg@01D96E1D.C89DC4F0]<https://www.cambridge.org/core/elements/abs/completing-a-genuine-economic-a…>In his book “Completing a Genuine Economic and Monetary Union”, published by Cambridge University Press in January 2023, LSE Professor Iain Begg examines efforts to strengthen Economic and Monetary Union in the European Union, especially over the last decade, asking if enough has been done to render it more sustainable and resilient. Drawing on a survey of 111 leading experts on the economics and politics of EMU, Iain Begg’s book reviews the wide-ranging reforms undertaken since the crises of the early 2010s and assesses whether they go far enough. Although it concludes that much has been done to push the euro towards being a more complete currency, it identifies remaining flaws and challenges which EU leaders need to resolve. After an overview of Professor Begg’s findings, three top experts closely familiar with the workings of the EU, its economic governance, and ongoing endeavors to develop it further will add their perspectives. Jean-Pierre Vidal, Chief Economic Advisor to European Council President Charles Michel at Council of the European Union, Isabel Vansteenkiste, Director, ECB, and member of SUERF’s Council of Management, and Martin Larch, Head of Secretariat of the European Fiscal Board, and Nicola Giammarioli, Secretary General and Management Board Member, ESM.

WU Economics Research Seminar, 19.4.2023, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Christoph Moser (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg)
by Oberhofer, Harald 12 Apr '23

12 Apr '23

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, April 19th, with Christoph Moser (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) on "Cross-Border Commuting, Gender Differences, and the Outside Option" Abstract: We study a cross-border commuting reform that granted German workers in the German-Swiss border region access to the high-wage Swiss labour market. This exogenous increase in German workers' outside option led to an increase in average wages paid by German establishments in the border region. But this wage increase is not homogenous across worker types. First, high-skilled workers enjoyed a higher wage increase than low-skilled workers, consistent with a stronger increase in Swiss-labor demand for high-skilled German workers. Second, the positive wage effects only accrue to men in the border region, but not women, consistent with gender differences in the willingness to commute. The outside option clearly seems to play an important role in wage determination and its wage effects can be heterogeneous. Date: Wednesday, April 19th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.144 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

CEU seminar: Romain Wacziarg (UCLA), Fri April 14, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Dear all, our 2nd seminar speaker the coming week at CEU is Romain Wacziarg (UCLA), who will present "Endogenous Partitions" (joint with Klaus Desmet and Ignacio Ortuño-Ortín) -- you are cordially invited to attend his in-person seminar. Time and venue: April 14, Friday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322 at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Vienna). Abstract: We develop a new method to endogenously partition society into cultural groups, without reference to predefined identity markers. To do so, we develop a measurement framework that divides people into distinct groups based on their answers to surveys of values, norms and attitudes. The method chooses divisions in order to minimize within-group antagonism, where antagonism is increasing in an individual's distance to other members of their group in answer space. We implement the method using the World Values Survey across 7 waves and 81 countries, with a particular focus on the US. We document several facts, among which: 1) A substantial reduction in within-group antagonism is obtained by partitioning society into two or three groups. 2) The reduction in within-cluster antagonism based on endogenous cultural partitions is an order of magnitude larger than that obtained based on predefined identity traits, such as gender. 3) In the US, partitions are largely driven by differences in religious and moral values - and cross-cluster differences in these values have increased over time. 4) In the US, cross-cluster differences in political ideology are the largest in our sample of countries, and have been increasing over time. We discuss the possible uses of our new measurement framework to study a range of questions in political economy. Speaker's website: https://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty_pages/romain.wacziarg/.
