CEU seminar: Luc Laeven (ECB and Tilburg U), Wed May 24, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 11 May '23

11 May '23

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Luc Laeven (ECB and Tilburg U), who will present "Carbon Taxes and the Geography of Fossil Lending" (with Alexander Popov) - you're all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. Time and venue: May 24, Wednesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna). Abstract: Using data on syndicated loans, we find that the introduction of a carbon tax is associated with a decline (increase) in bank lending to coal, oil, and gas companies in domestic (foreign) markets. This manifestation of tax arbitrage is particularly pronounced for banks with large fossil-lending exposures, suggesting a role for bank specialization. Lending to private companies in foreign markets increases relatively more, implying bank incentives to avoid public scrutiny. We also find that banks reallocate a relatively larger share of their fossil loan portfolio to countries with less strict environmental regulation and bank supervision.

WU Economics Research Seminar, 17.5.2023, 2.00 pm to 3.30 pm, Richard Kališ (University of Economics Bratislava)
by Oberhofer, Harald 10 May '23

10 May '23

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, May 17th, with Richard Kališ (University of Economics Bratislava) on "Merger dilemma in yardstick competition" Abstract: The paper contributes to the literature on mergers in a yardstick competition. The yardstick method is an appealing incentive-based approach; however, it is not immune to potential strategic behaviour concerning horizontal mergers. Because firms in frontier-based regulated industries are evaluated to the most efficient peers, this frontier is prone to inward shifts after mergers. This inward shift can easily overwhelm the expected cost savings of merged firms. The position of the efficient peer being merged is crucial concerning other peers on the frontier. Moreover, compared to the competitive markets, the number of firms outside the merger negatively correlates with industry outcomes after the merger. Our results can serve as a guideline for mergers in yardstick competition similar to one proposed by European Commission for competitive industries. Date: Wednesday, May 17th Time: 2.00 to 3.30 pm (CET) Location: building D4/entrance A, 2nd floor, room D4.2.008 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

by Gnan, Ernest 09 May '23

Dear colleague May I draw your attention to a SUERF BAFFI Bocconi Panel Discussion on “The recent market turmoil: Lessons for market exits of systemically important banks”<https://www.suerf.org/BankResolution> which will take place on Wednesday, 17 May from 14:00 to 15:30 CET. In case you are not able to attend or want further colleagues to also listen in, please feel free to forward this e-mail invitation. For registration, please use this link<https://www.suerf.org/registration/10947/bankresolution>. Kind regards Prof Dr Ernest Gnan Secretary General, SUERF – The European Money and Finance Forum Honorary Economic Advisor to the OeNB Governor ernest.gnan(a)oenb.at<mailto:ernest.gnan@oenb.at> +43 664 4333384 • @dr_gnan<https://twitter.com/dr_gnan> • LinkedIn<https://www.linkedin.com/in/ernest-gnan-8a6957ab/> www.suerf.org<http://www.suerf.org/> [cid:image002.jpg@01D9769F.2B8A1E90] Invitation www.suerf.org<http://www.suerf.org/> Dear colleague, The recent banking turmoil in the US and in CH has raised doubts on the functionality of the current framework of market exits for systemically important banks. On the one hand, the authorities managed recent market exits quickly with minimal repercussions on financial stability or the real economy. On the other hand, public funds were necessary to resolve the crises: central banks provided liquidity assistance loans beyond emergency liquidity assistance and the public provided, inter alia, default guarantees for these loans; deposit insurance was extended beyond the statutory limits. In this SUERF BAFFI Bocconi Panel Discussion entitled “The recent market turmoil: Lessons for market exits of systemically important banks” <https://www.suerf.org/BankResolution> we aim to distill the lessons learnt for the framework of market exits of systemically important banks: * Why did authorities deem market exits without public funds – as originally intended – inadequate or too risky? Is this time inconsistency unavoidable or can the framework be fixed? * There are alternatives to resolution, such as regular bank taxes as price for (inevitable?) public bail-outs, a permanent “National Investment Authority” (© S. T. Omarova) that manages public stakes in bailed-out banks or their assets, or the break-up of banks that are too large to be resolved. What are their advantages and disadvantages? * Macroprudential supervision addresses the too big to fail-problem ex-ante. How should it interact with the market exit framework? How much equity and bail-inable debt would large banks have to hold to be resolvable? How can we ensure ex-ante that the write-down of equity and the bail-in of debt do not constitute a source of systemic risk propagation themselves? Wednesday, 17 May 2023 14:00 Welcome by Ernest Gnan, SUERF Panel Discussion and Q&A with the audience Moderated by Markus Schwaiger, Director, Department for Financial Stability, OeNB * Giles Edward, Sector Lead, European Financial Institutions, S&P Global Ratings * Marie Donnay, Head of Unit – Fisma D3 Resolution and Deposit Insurance, European Commission * Rosa M Lastra, Sir John Lubbock Chair in Banking Law, Queen Mary University of London * Saule T.

Mai 2023, 15:00 Uhr Ort: Hybrid Registrierung Vor-Ort Teilnahme: https://wiiw.ac.at/er-614.html Wiener Institut für Internationale Wirtschaftsvergleiche, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Wien Registrierung Online-Teilnahme: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_rrW3bjd9S5OHsU7o05Kq5A Sprache: Englisch Abstract: How much do changes in the fragmentation of production contribute to growth? Using detailed plant-level data on the manufacturing sector in India between 1990 and 2014, we study a version of Smithian growth, the link between greater fragmentation of supply chains and productivity. We propose a measure of a plant's vertical span, which corresponds roughly to the number of stages in a supply chain that the plant performs in-house; when plants have smaller vertical spans, production is more fragmented. We find that fragmentation increases with development in both the cross-section and time series. Further, within locations at a point in time, larger plants tend to have smaller vertical spans, and those that increase sales tend to decrease vertical span. Using changes in demand during the tariff liberalization in the 1990s, we provide evidence that increased demand causes specialization. We find evidence from economies of scale in specialization. We construct a general equilibrium model to rationalize these findings and estimate the sources and magnitude of scale economies. Goods are produced in a succession of steps, each combining labor and a set of intermediate inputs, giving rise to a tree-like structure. Firms exert effort to find suppliers for inputs and choose the set of production stages (and thereby inputs) to produce the output at lowest cost. The structure implies that the returns to searching are more strongly diminishing for inputs that are further upstream. Firms with high productivity draws are therefore more likely to choose to be more vertically specialized.

Theory & Policy Seminar: May 11, Z.L. Bárány (CEU) - new title
by Hutter, Julia 08 May '23

08 May '23

Dear all, we kindly invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk on Thursday, May 11, 2023 from 5:00 – 6:30 pm (Seminarroom DB04 yellow, Freihaus Building, yellow area, 4th floor) Late Bloomers? The causes andConsequences of Graduating from College Later in Life Zsófia L. Bárány<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Fzsofia…> https://sites.google.com/site/zsofiabarany/ (joint work with Moshe Buchinsky and Pauline Corblet) It is a well-known fact that the college share in advanced countries has been increasing in the past several decades. This is generally attributed to the cohort succession model, whereby successive cohorts obtain more education. Despite this consensus, we show that a large and growing fraction of the aggregate increase in the college share is driven by the within-cohort component in the United States. This is in contrast to the general view in the literature that once individuals quit school, they never return to acquire more schooling. We use panel data from the NLSY79 and NLSY97 to analyze the causes of delayed education and its consequences. Preliminary results suggest that late graduates lacked the liquidity to go to college earlier. In terms of returns to late education, we show that late graduates experience a significant increase in earnings after attending college, although the returns are lower than for early college graduates, especially for men. These results suggests that an analysis of cross-sectional data may lead to bias in the estimated returns to education and experience.
