*Final Call for Abstracts:* *Workshop I: Adverse Allies: Logical Empiricism and Austrian EconomicsThe FWF ESPRIT research project “Adverse Allies: Logical Empiricism and Austrian Economics”, the Institute of Philosophy and Scientific Method (JKU Linz), the Institute Vienna Circle (University of Vienna), and the Vienna Circle Society host two workshops in 2025. The organizers seek submissions for contributed talks for the first workshop now.* Acknowledging the existence of disagreements between logical empiricism and the Austrian School, recent scholarship has challenged the received view of antithetical opposition by reconstructing hitherto neglected compatibilities and similarities between the two movements. This workshop aims to advance historical as well as systematic discussions on the relationship between logical empiricism and Austrian economics. Contributions that fruitfully inform contemporary debates in philosophy, methodology, politics, or the sciences are particularly welcome. *Deadline for Submissions: 31.10.2024* Notification: 30.11.2024 *Workshop I in Vienna: 12.02.-14.02.2025* Save the date for workshop II in Linz: 23.09.-25.09.2025 *You find more information and the abstract submission form here: * https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd5Mg7ThW9ufbzUkJcEk7ZodNnraJ7PuiZ… *Scientific Committee: *Alexander Linsbichler, Julian Reiss, Georg Schiemer, Friedrich Stadler *Queries:* Alexander Linsbichler (alexander.linsbichler(a)jku.at) *Alexander Linsbichler* Institute of Philosophy and Scientific Method (Johannes Kepler University Linz) alexander.linsbichler(a)jku.at Department of Philosophy ( <https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=47545>University of Vienna) <https://ufind.univie.ac.at/de/person.html?id=47545> alexander.linsbichler(a)univie.ac.at *neu erschienen: Viel mehr <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…>als nur <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…>Ökonomie <https://www.vandenhoeck-ruprecht-verlage.com/detail/index/sArticle/57805/sC…> (Böhlau, 2022)*

Einladung Forum Finanz: World Development Report 2024 „The Middle-Income Trap“ am 12. November 2024
by Katterl, Alfred 24 Oct '24

View online<https://eventmaker.at/bmf/forum_finanz_world_development_report_2024/openli…> [Headerbild] Forum Finanz: World Development Report 2024 „The Middle-Income Trap“ Dear Madam or Sir, we would like to invite you to the following event: Forum Finanz: Presentation and discussion of the World Development Report 2024: "The Middle-Income Trap" Middle-income countries — home today to 6 billion people — are in a race against time. Many have set ambitious deadlines for themselves: reach high-income status within the next two or three decades. That will not be easy. Since the 1990s, only 34 middle-income economies have succeeded in that feat. The rest — 108 at the end of 2023 — have been stuck in “the middle-income trap”. Since 1970, the median income per capita of middle-income countries has never risen above 10 percent of the US level. Climbing to high-income status in today’s environment will be harder still — because of high debt and aging populations in developing countries and growing protectionism in advanced economies. The World Development Report 2024<https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/bitstreams/8dca4aff-e0f5-4865-b245-ec9c…> outlines how all developing economies can avoid the middle-income trap. Lower-middle-income countries must go beyond investment-driven strategies — they must also adopt modern technologies and successful business practices from abroad and infuse them across their economies. Upper-middle-income countries need to accelerate the shift to innovation, by pushing the global frontiers of technology. This requires reconfiguring economic structures governing enterprises, labor, and energy use — in ways that enable greater economic freedom, social mobility, and political contestability. Somik V. Lall, Senior Adviser to the World Bank Group Chief Economist and Coordinator of the World Development Report 2024, will present key findings from this year’s report at the BMF. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion, which will reflect on the role of innovation for development, as well as the implications of past success stories for current middle-income economies, e.g. in Eastern and South-eastern Europe. The event will be held in English. We ask for registration until November 8 under the following link: REGISTER<https://eventmaker.at/bmf/forum_finanz_world_development_report_2024/openli…> Opening Remarks Harald Waiglein, Director General, Economic Policy and Financial Markets, Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) Xiaoqing Yu, Country Director for the Western Balkans, World Bank Presentation Somik V.

INEQ Research Seminar: Dita Eckhart - Training Specificity and Occupational Mobility: Evidence from German Apprenticeships, October 28
by Disslbacher, Franziska 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, We hereby invite you to join our next Economics of Inequality Research Seminar<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/outreach/ineq-research-seminar> at WU Vienna. Dita Eckhart<https://www.ditaeckardt.com/> (University of Warwick) will present the paper Training Specificity and Occupational Mobility: Evidence from German Apprenticeships. Date and Time: Monday, October 28; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, D4 - D4.0.127<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.127>. Abstract Apprenticeships play a key role in enabling successful school-to-work transitions in many countries but, in the presence of imperfect information, the specificity of this type of training may entail important costs for those working outside their training fields. I study this issue in one of the most prominent training settings, the German apprenticeship system. Using administrative data and a broad occupational classification, I find that 40% of individuals work in occupations different from their training. I estimate the cost of mismatch using vacancy instruments and extend methodological approaches in high-dimensional selection settings. Lacking training in one’s occupation entails an average wage penalty of 14%, the equivalent of two years of work experience. The penalty increases with the task distance between training and occupation. My findings suggest that retraining is crucial to mitigate the adverse consequences from imperfect information in specialized training settings.

Theory & Policy Seminar / J. Alonso-García / Mortality by socio-economic class and its impact on retirement schemes: how to render the system fairer
by Hutter, Julia 22 Oct '24

22 Oct '24

Dear all, we kindly invite you to our next Theory and Policy Seminar Talk on Wednesday, October 30, 2024 from 4:00-5:30 pm (TU Wien, Freihaus Building, Conference Room Dekanat) (Wiedner Hauptstr. 8-10, 1040 Vienna – “Konferenzraum Dekanat”, 9th floor, green area (with elevator to the 8th floor and via staircase to the 9th floor) "Mortality by socio-economic class and its impact on retirement schemes: how to render the system fairer" Jennifer Alonso-García (https://jennifer.alonso.garcia.web.ulb.be/) Many OECD countries have addressed the issue of increased longevity by mainly increasing the retirement age. However, this kind of reforms may lead to substantial transfers from those with shorter lifespans to those that will live longer than the average, as they do not necessarily take into account the socio-economic differences in mortality. The contribution of our paper is therefore twofold. Firstly, we illustrate how both a Defined Benefit and a Notional Defined Contribution pay-as-you-go scheme can put the lower social economic classes at a disadvantage, when compared to the actuarially fair pensions. In contrast to that, higher classes experience a gain. This is due to the fact that mortality rates per socio-economic class are not considered by either scheme. Consequently, we propose a model that determines the parameters for each scheme and class which would render the pensions fairer even when no socio-economic mortality differences are considered. We also provide a live stream on Zoom: https://tuwien.zoom.us/j/67875612975 This is a joint seminar of the research groups FAM and ECON!
