Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, May 22nd, with Maik T. Schneider (University of Graz) on "Public Policy Responses to AI" Abstract: With the 4th Industrial Revolution ahead there is huge uncertainty about the likely labour market impacts ranging from massive layoffs as a response to Automation and AI to the view that overall more jobs will be created than lost. Whatever the outcome in the end, there will be major structural change with substantial implications for individual labour income risk. We argue that precautionary savings are an ineffective protection against labour market risk arising from major technological shifts and discuss four policy instruments, 1) a private insurance scheme, 2) a universal basic income, 3) a robot tax, and 4) a governmental insurance scheme. Further, we examine whether these policy instruments are suitable to achieve high and inclusive growth. Date: Wednesday, May 22nd Time: 4.30 to 6.00 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

friendly reminder: WIC Colloquium Wed, 15 May 2024: Roland Hosner - Dynamic Population Estimates for Low- and Middle Income Countries based on Mobile Phone Data
by Simunics, Barbara 13 May '24

13 May '24

WIC Hybrid Colloquium ***************************** Roland Hosner Flowminder Foundation Dynamic Population Estimates for Low- and Middle Income Countries based on Mobile Phone Data. Wednesday, 15 May 2024 11:00 – 12:00 (CEST) (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 Austrian Academy of Sciences, 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: While mobile phone data constitute a promising new data source for granular population statistics, they remain partial in terms of population coverage, and prone to representation biases which are difficult to measure and correct for in the absence of independent auxiliary data. The use of mobile phone data to estimate changes of sub-regional population counts over time often relies on a series of assumptions (e.g. the assumption that movements observable for mobile phone users are similar to the movements of the general population. Mobile phone users differ from the general population in many (socio-demographic) characteristics. Flowminder has developed and applied a methodology to produce estimates of internal migration and sub-regional population change in Ghana, Haiti and the DRC. These dynamic population estimates can be used for a wide range of use cases, from the health sector, humanitarian work, disaster preparedness to official statistics. About the presenter: Roland Hosner is a sociologist, migration researcher and statistician, currently working on the estimation of internal mobility and bias-adjustment of statistics derived from mobile phone data. He is Flowminder’s Senior Statistician and leads all work on survey design and analysis, as well as on data triangulation of mobile phone data, survey and census data, to produce mobility and population estimates for Haiti, the DRC and Ghana. 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 ***************************************************************************************************

"Two Decades of EU Funds for Migration and Asylum": 14 May 11:00-12:00 | Hybrid Seminar
by Franziska Klauser 10 May '24

10 May '24

Dear all, What has the EU focussed on in the last 20 years when allocating funds for migration and asylum measures? What methods can be employed to trace and analyze the allocation of these funds? The ongoing MigFund project addresses these questions and the MigFund database represents the most comprehensive endeavor in tracing migration-relevant measures in EU funds from 2000 onwards. In her guest lecture at the EUI Migration Policy Centre, the project leader Federica Zardo will present the database and discuss research findings. We would be delighted if you took part in this hybrid event. (Registration is still possible.) Two decades of EU Funds for migration and asylum: the MigFund dataset Tuesday, 14 May 2024, 11:00-12:00 CET with Federica Zardo (University Krems) and Hirotaka Fujibayashi (European University Institute/ MPC) Further information on this seminar can be found at: https://migrationpolicycentre.eu/events/two-decades-of-eu-funds-for-migrati… https://www.donau-uni.ac.at/en/research/project/U7_PROJEKT_4294970728 Kind regards, Franziska Klauser Public Relations University for Continuing Education Krems | Department for Migration and Globalisation Dr.-Karl-Dorrek-Strasse 30 3500 Krems, Austria E-Mail: franziska.klauser(a)donau-uni.ac.at <mailto:franziska.klauser@donau-uni.ac.at%0b>Web: www.donau-uni.ac.at/mig<http://www.donau-uni.ac.at/mig> www.linkedin.com/showcase/department-for-migration-and-globalisation<http://www.linkedin.com/showcase/department-for-migration-and-globalisation> www.twitter.com/demigkrems<http://www.twitter.com/demigkrems>

Economics of Inequality Research Seminar, Per Engzell (UCL) -- Firms and the Intergenerational Transmission of Labor Market Advantage, May 13
by Disslbacher, Franziska 06 May '24

06 May '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. Per Engzell<https://perengzell.com/> (UCL) will present the paper Firms and the Intergenerational Transmission of Labor Market Advantage. Date and Time: Monday, May 13; 3.00 p.m. Location: Research Institute Economics of Inequality, WU Vienna, D3 - D3.0.259. Abstract Pay inequality stems both from firm pay-setting and from workers' individual characteristics. Yet, intergenerational mobility research focuses on transmission of individual traits, and has failed to test how firms shape the inheritance of inequality. We study this question using three decades of Swedish population register data, and decompose the intergenerational earnings correlation into firm pay premiums and worker effects. One quarter of the intergenerational earnings correlation at midlife is explained by sorting between firms with unequal pay. Employer or industry inheritance account for a small share of this firm-based earnings transmission. Instead, high-education and high-occupation workers disproportionately land at high-paying firms. Parental referral networks and the inheritance of industry and labor market context play a supplementary role. As workers with high-education or high-status jobs are increasingly also employed at high paying firms, firm sorting could become increasingly important to intergenerational earnings transmission. Please register your participation here<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/rs-registration-engzell>. Best regards, Franziska Disslbacher, Emanuel List and Jan Gromadzki Upcoming seminars: * Monday, June 3 - Barbara Boelmann<https://sites.google.com/view/barbaraboelmann> (University of Cologne and ECONtribute) Women’s Missing Mobility and the Gender Gap in Higher Education: Evidence from Germany’s University Expansion * Monday, June 17 - Markus Jäntti<https://www.su.se/english/profiles/marj-1.186349> (Stockholm University) - TBA
