CEU Seminar: Antonio Rosato (Deakin) -- Wed May 20 [11.15am-12.30]
by Timea Laura Molnar 18 May '26

18 May '26

Dear all, Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Antonio Rosato (Deakin Business School in Melbourne). You are all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. Time and venue: May 20, Wednesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, QS B-505, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna) Seminar Title: "A Winner’s Blessing? Inferential Naivety in English Auctions with Interdependent Values". Abstract: With interdependent values, English auctions can aggregate dispersed information as active bidders infer their rivals’ signals from observed dropouts, thus mitigating the winner’s curse. I study what happens when bidders do worry about the winner’s curse, but wrongly believe that rivals bid solely based on their private information, neglecting that their exits also embed information from earlier dropouts. This inferential naivety creates a winner’s blessing: bidders under-infer from dropout prices, bid too cautiously, and the winner pays less than under correct inference. With independent signals, this breaks revenue equivalence. Under affiliation, inferential naivety can overturn the linkage principle. Speaker's website: https://sites.google.com/site/rosatoeconomics/ 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. Molnar, at molnartl(a)ceu.edu.

Abstract We construct a global metal price uncertainty index and examine its effects on economic activity and stock markets at the global level as well as for the euro area and the United States. Our analysis focuses on industrial metals - copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, and lead - as included in the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index. To characterize price developments, we employ spot and futures prices of these metals traded at the London Metal Exchange. Methodologically, we extend the framework of Jurado, Ludvigson and Ng (2015) to construct the metal price uncertainty index. We then conduct a range of empirical analyses, including impulse response and forecasting exercises, allowing for regime-dependent dynamics conditional on periods of high and low metal price uncertainty. We find that metal price uncertainty helps to improve forecasting. In addition, we observe that threshold VAR models are often the best models with respect to forecast accuracy when compared to linear and benchmark models. In the impulse response analysis with threshold VAR models we see different responses (of industrial production, the stock market, etc.) in high uncertainty and low uncertainty regimes to shocks in metal price uncertainty. For example, a shock in metal price uncertainty has a significantly stronger negative effect in the high uncertainty regime than in the low uncertainty regime.

WU Research Seminar in Economics: Peter Egger, May 20, 4.30 pm
by Oberhofer, Harald 12 May '26

12 May '26

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Research Seminar in Economics on Wednesday, May 20th, with Peter Egger (Prof. Dr. Peter Egger | ETH Zurich<https://kof.ethz.ch/en/the-institute/people/person-detail.MTY2NTM0.TGlzdC8x…>) presenting: "How Aggregate Uncertainty Shapes the Spatial Economy". Abstract: This paper develops a dynamic spatial equilibrium model of a multi-region, multi-sector open economy where heterogeneous agents optimally choose their job, making forward-looking decisions under aggregate uncertainty. We propose a solution of the system of individual dynamic optimal-control problems under rational expectations as a Mean Field Game, in discrete time and state space, preserving the full nonlinear structure of the problem. Using a calibration for France, we demonstrate that welfare outcomes and the spatial distribution of labor differ systematically from those under perfect foresight. Accounting for decisions made under aggregate uncertainty significantly reshapes the patterns of labor reallocation, both during transitions and in the long run. * Date: Wednesday, May 20th * Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) * Location: building D4, entrance A, ground floor, D4.0.144<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.144> 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
