WU Economics Research Seminar, 6.3.2024, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Angelo Zago (University of Verona)
by Oberhofer, Harald 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, March 6th, with Angelo Zago (University of Verona) on "Trade, Quality, and Collective Reputation. The Case of Wine" Abstract: We consider an extension of the model of monopolistic competition with heterogeneous firms from Melitz and Ottaviano (2008) into several directions. On the demand side, utility depends on perceived quality, that is on a convex combination of individual firm's quality and of collective reputation. The weight on the individual firm quality increases with the degree of awareness of the representative consumer in the destination market. If the consumer is relatively unaware (new market), the collective or 'national' reputation has a bigger role in perceived quality. On the supply side, we introduce the possibility of endogenous quality choice as in Antoniades (2015), but with a more general specification to obtain correlations between sizes, sales, prices and qualities that match the European wine sector. The model enables to show how market toughness affects firm's behavior through the scope for quality differentiation. We show, among other things, that investment in quality and firms that behave as quality leaders change with the degree of consumers' expertise in the destination markets, and in a positive but decreasing fashion. Using cross- sectional firm's level data, we find that wine quality, collective reputation and consumer expertise are indeed important in making exporting more likely (extensive margins), in exporting different products, and (to some extent) also in exporting more (intensive margins). Overall, we fail to reject the null hypothesis that the degree of expertise in destination markets do not have an effect on the firms that export and the product they do export. This seems to suggest that the endogenous quality model we propose better fits the data at hand. Date: Wednesday, March 6th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.019<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.019> 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

FW: REMINDER: WIC Colloquium: Wed, 28 February: Mohammad Jalal Abbasi Shavazi - A Demographic perspective on forced migration with a special focus on Afghan refugees
by Simunics, Barbara 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

***************************** Mohammad Jalal Abbasi Shavazi Academy Fellow, Vienna Institute of Demography A Demographic perspective on forced migration with a special focus on Afghan refugees Wednesday, 28 February, 2024 11:00 – 12:00 (CET) (save to your calendar - .ics-file<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/ICAL-files/Colloqui…>) The hybrid seminar will be held in person at Dr. Ignaz Seipel Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Museumszimmer, stair 1, 2nd floor and online via Zoom. Please register here: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration <https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration> Login information for online participation will be sent to all registered participants shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract: International migration has always been an important issue for research and policy in almost every society and globally. Discussions and studies of migration are focused primarily on voluntary migration, and little attention is given to the reasons, consequences, and potential of forced migration. Yet, forced migration, especially refugees, makes up a significant proportion of international moves, most of it being south-south in nature. The number of forcibly displaced persons in the world surpassed 108 million by the end of 2022 and there is no evidence that the scale and severity of forced migration are being reduced. A vast majority (76%) of the displaced population live in low and middle-income countries. While Syria and Afghanistan have been the top refugee-sending countries for decades, Ukraine and Gaza have also become sources of population displacement. In addition to a large-scale population displacement due to war and conflicts, a significant number of refugees are environmentally driven. Despite the increasing scale and complexity of population displacement, forced migration is still a neglected and under-researched topic within Demography. This presentation illustrates the current situation of global population displacement by region with an emphasis on population displacement within and from Afghanistan. The need for research and training programs on the demography of forced migration as well as policy implications for the host countries of a sizable number of refugees are discussed. About the presenter: Mohammad Jalal Abbasi-Shavazi is an Academy Fellow at the Vienna Institute of Demography, Professor of Demography, University of Tehran (on leave), Guest Research Scholar at the International Institute of Applied System Analysis (IIASA), and Honorary Professor, School of Demography, the Australian National University. He has conducted research and widely published on Iran’s fertility transition, international and forced migration, Muslim demography, and population policies. His current research focuses on fertility declines and diversity among Muslim populations in Europe. Abbasi has served as Director of the Iran National Institute of Population Research; President of Asian Population Association, the President of the Population Association of Iran, and is a council member of the IUSSP. He has received several scientific prizes including the 2011 United Nations Population Award. https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/PDF/Colloquium/2024… *************************************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA ***************************************************************************************************

Motivation There are many indicators that can measure threats that climate change poses to financial stability. The macroprudential challenge is to corral these indicators into a coherent surveillance framework for managing risk. A recent ECB/ESRB paper<https://www.esrb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/reports/esrb.report202312~d7881028b8.en.…> harnesses a growing body of evidence on indicators into three primary categories: climate shocks, exposures to these shocks, and financial risks resulting from the interaction of exposure and prevailing vulnerabilities. It argues that existing evidence can be used to tailor a macroprudential approach to addressing climate risks – that is, a strategy to contain risk for banks and for the broader financial system.

Presentation and Discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2023-24

Trotz der kurzen Frist anbei eine Einladung zu einer interessanten BMF-EBRD-Veranstaltung View online<https://eventmaker.at/bmf/forum_finanz_presentation_and_discussion_of_the_e…> [Headerbild] Presentation and Discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2023-24 Dear Madam or Sir, We would like to invite you to the following event on Wednesday: Presentation and discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2023-24 This year's Transition Report, entitled “Transitions big and small”, discusses the ways in which the profound structural changes in the global economy are impacting the lives, livelihoods and living conditions of people in the EBRD regions. Among other things, it focuses on the transition to a sustainable economy, the transformation of global supply chains and global competition for raw materials that are a prerequisite for a more digitalized and “green” economy. The report is based on data from the fourth round of the Life in Transition Survey, a household survey conducted in 2022 and 2023. The aim was to identify trends in how the above-mentioned global upheavals are reflected in so-called “small transitions” such as career changes, changes in physical and mental health, the renovation of homes - and even changes in people's life satisfaction. After opening remarks by Director General Harald Waiglein, EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik will present key findings from the Transition Report 2023-24 at the Ministry of Finance. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion. The event will be held in English.
