Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, April 12th, with Georg Gebhardt (University of Ulm) on "Do Public Bank Guarantees Affect Labor Market Outcomes? Evidence from Individual Employment and Wages" Abstract: We investigate whether employees in Germany benefit from public bank guarantees in terms of employment probability and wages. Our analysis is based on the combination of two data sets matching firms' dependence on public bank loans with detailed biography data of their employees. For identification, we exploit the natural experiment of the removal of public bank guarantees in 2001. Using a triple difference approach with placebo data as additional interaction we are able to identify a causal effect. We find that public bank guarantees contrary to their purpose lead to lower income prospects for employees after working in affected establishments. This effect is driven by a higher non-employment probability rather than lower wages. The results suggest that the employees do not benefit from public bank guarantees. Date: Wednesday, April 12th 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: Kory Kroft (U Toronto), Tue April 11, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 05 Apr '23

05 Apr '23

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Kory Kroft (U Toronto) who will present "Imperfect Competition and Rents in Labor and Product Markets: The Case of the Construction Industry" (the paper is joint with Yao Luo, Magne Mogstad, and Bradley Setzler) -- you are cordially invited to attend his in-person seminar. Time and venue: April 11, Tuesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322 at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Vienna). Abstract: We quantify the importance of imperfect competition in the US construction industry by estimating the size of rents earned by American firms and workers. To obtain a comprehensive measure of the total rents and to understand its sources, we take into account that rents may arise due to markdown of wages in the labor market, or markup of prices in the product market, or both. Our analyses combine the universe of US business and worker tax records with newly collected records from US procurement auctions. We use this data to identify and estimate a model where construction firms compete with one another for projects in the product market and for workers in the labor market. The firms may participate both in the private market and in government projects procured through auctions. We find evidence of considerable wage- and price-setting power. This imperfect competition creates sizable rents, three-fourths of which is captured by the firms. The incentives of firms to mark down wages and reduce employment due to wage-setting power are attenuated by their price-setting power in the product market.

Reminder: WIC Colloquium, 5th April 2023: David Weil - Population Catastrophe: Explosion, Implosion, and Replacement
by Simunics, Barbara 03 Apr '23

03 Apr '23

WIC Hybrid Colloquium ********************* David Weil, Brown University and National Bureau of Economic Research Population Catastrophe: Explosion, Implosion, and Replacement Wednesday, April 5th, 2023 11:00 - 12:30 (CEST) Please register here for the presentation until one day before the presentation 10:00 (CEST): 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: Worries about the size and composition of the population have occupied scholars, governments, and popular discourse for more than a century. In the early 20th century, concern focused on the low fertility of social classes or ethnic groups viewed as having superior attributes. After World War II, the dominant fear was catastrophic overpopulation in poor countries. More recently, sub-replacement fertility and population aging have become salient issues in a large number of countries. These worries arise from a common source: the end of the homeostatic demographic regime of high mortality and high fertility that described human population for most of history. This lecture tells the story of this demographic transformation, including its economic, social, and cultural dimensions. It is a sprawling story that encompasses technological change, feminism, eugenics, science fiction, nationalism, the rise of the welfare state, and the private decisions of billions of individuals. About the presenter: David N. Weil is the James and Merryl Tisch Professor of Economics at Brown University and a research as-sociate of the National Bureau of Economic Research. Weil has written widely on various aspects of economic growth and his textbook on the topic has been translated into six languages. He has also written on assorted topics in demographic and health economics including the population aging, Social Security, and the gender wage gap. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1990.
