CEU Seminar: Kai Barron (WZB-Berlin) -- Nov19 [11.15-12.30]
by Timea Laura Molnar 13 Nov '25

13 Nov '25

Dear all, Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Kai Barron (Research Associate at WZB-Berlin, part of the Berlin School of Economics). Title: Does Parental Feedback Shape Children’s (Over)Confidence? (joint with Michela Carlana, Marlis Schneider, Oda Sund) Abstract: This paper studies how parents shape the ego-relevant information children receive about themselves and how it influences the beliefs and behavior of children. Using a field experiment with 7th-grade Norwegian students and their parents, we show that parents provide their children with feedback that is systematically more favorable than parents’ private beliefs. Children incorporate this positively biased feedback into their self-assessments. The gap between parents’ private beliefs and communicated feedback is larger when feedback precedes task completion, suggesting motivational intent. The study contributes to the understanding of how social transmission of self-relevant information, rather than just individual cognitive biases, shapes overconfidence. You are all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. Time and venue: November 19, Wednesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, QS B-505, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna). Speaker’s website: https://sites.google.com/site/kaibarron/ Registration, till 12pm, the day before the seminar, is required at: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=E1nE2VN24kuSC72wOGOBhDP… With questions, please contact the CEU seminar organizer, Timea L.

Migration Survey 2025: Implementation, Experiences and Findings on Migration and Integration in Austria Jonas Kolb, Statistik Austria Abstract: Migration and integration cannot be deduced solely from register data or administrative data, but are also an expression of subjective assessments and perspectives. The migration survey is a sample survey conducted annually by Statistics Austria, focusing on various dimensions of migration and integration. The presentation will first provide insights into the design of the survey, the multilingual questionnaire, the composition of the sample, the correspondence and the use of incentives. The second part will present the special features of the survey related to the hard-to-reach target group. In this context, the presentation will focus in particular on the challenges posed by a multilingual questionnaire and response rates. Subsequently, selected findings will be presented using examples that provide insights into the subjective dimension of migration and integration. Finally, the possibility for interested researchers to use the migration survey data set for scientific purposes will be explained. About the presenter: Jonas Kolb works in the division Demography and Health in the Directorate Social Statistics at Statistics Austria, focusing on migration and integration issues. He studied political science and sociology in Berlin, Ljubljana and Vienna and earned his doctorate degree at the Goethe University Frankfurt/Main. Between 2012 and 2023, he worked at the Universities of Vienna and Innsbruck. His research focuses on migration, integration, education, religion, religious education and Muslims in Austria. In 2023, Jonas Kolb completed his habilitation at the University of Innsbruck with a cumulative thesis on Muslim life and religious education in contemporary societ This WIC Colloquium is jointly organized with Arbeitskreis Demographie

[INEQ Research Seminar] Anne Ardila Brenøe - Backlash from Gender Equality
by Gromadzki, Jan 11 Nov '25

11 Nov '25

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. Anne Ardila Brenøe<https://sites.google.com/view/aabrenoe/home> (University of Zurich) will present the paper Backlash from Gender Equality. Date and Time: Monday, November 17; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, TC – TC.4.15<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=TC.4.15>. Abstract To attract more female talent to male-dominated fields, companies have promoted gender-targeted programs. Yet, such efforts could backfire if they trigger a negative response among men. We study this possibility in a randomized controlled trial among 8th grade students in Switzerland, prior to choosing a training occupation. Students in the treatment group watched two videos emphasizing firms' desire to recruit girls into tech occupations and to promote equal career opportunities for women in management positions. We measure effects on students’ career aspirations and on sabotaging behavior in incentivized games. Results show that students understood the message that companies promote women. We find no evidence of backlash from boys against girls. We also find no effect of the treatment on girls’ or boys’ interest in receiving more information or pursuing the promoted occupations. These findings suggest that while gender-targeted promotion does not deter boys, it may not be sufficient to change career intentions either.

WU Research Seminar in Economics - Kevin Remmy - November 19, 4.30 pm
by Oberhofer, Harald 10 Nov '25

10 Nov '25

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Research Seminar in Economics on Wednesday, November 19th, with Kevin Remmy (https://www.vwl.uni-mannheim.de/remmy/) presenting: "Equilibrium Effects in Complementary Markets: Electric Vehicle Adoption and Electricity Pricing". Abstract: The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) shifts the complementary market for passenger transport from oil to electricity. We develop and estimate a joint equilibrium model of the German electricity and automobile markets, emphasizing the timing of EV charging, as electricity generation costs and pollution vary intraday. Our results show that under Germany's current flat electricity pricing scheme, EVs create a significant pecuniary externality on all other electricity users. Exposing EV charging to wholesale price variation reduces this pecuniary externality but also triggers a feedback loop that leads to more EV sales and more charging in equilibrium. * Date: Wednesday, November 19th * Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) * Location: building D4, entrance A, ground floor, D4.0.039<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.039> 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> https://www.wu.ac.at/en/economics/people/oberhofer-h Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) Phone: +43/1/7982601-468 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer

IHS Research Talk: Leopold Sögner - Online Breakpoint-Detection in Cointegrating Relationships
by IHS Event 06 Nov '25

06 Nov '25

[https://7i0di.img.bh.d.sendibt3.com/im/sh/B7FK1vMdZdgB.png?u=1vcqsYC5HMzcSL…] IHS Research Talk Leopold Sögner (Institute for Advanced Studies) Online Breakpoint-Detection in Cointegrating Relationships December 10, 2025 10:00 am to 11:30 am Institute for Advanced Studies Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna Salon Abstract Closed-end consistent monitoring procedures are developed with the goal to detect structural changes in cointegrating relationships. We consider the vector error correction model of Johansen (1995) and allow for different specifications of the deterministic terms. We consider β′yt, where β is a matrix containing the cointegrating vectors and (yt) is a process integrated of order one, and propose monitoring test statistics to investigate the stability of these cointegrating relationships. We obtain the asymptotic distributions of our test statistics under the null hypothesis of no structural breaks. A calibration period is used for parameter estimation, after which online break-point detection is performed. The procedure stops at the first time point the test statistic exceeds the corresponding critical value. A simulation study is provided to investigate the finite sample properties of our monitoring procedures. The procedures are applied to investigate possible changes in money demand. The talk is about joint work with Martin Wagner (University of Klagenfurt, Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna) and Masoud Abdollahi Mobarakeh (Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna). Speaker Leopold Sögner is head of the IHS research group Business Cycle, Growth and Public Finances. He is presenting a project financed by the Austrian National Bank Anniversary Fund.
