[INEQ Research Seminar] Konstantin Wacker (University of Groningen), June 15: The labor share, capital-labor complementarity, and direction of the technological change
by Disslbacher, Franziska 08 Jun '26

08 Jun '26

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. Konstantin Wacker<https://sites.google.com/rug.nl/kmwacker> (University of Groningen) will present the paper The labor share, capital-labor complementarity, and direction of the technological change. Date and Time: Monday, June 15; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, D4.0.127<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.127>. Abstract The share of aggregate income earned by labor has been declining in several high-income countries. This conflicts with a macroeconomic production function that is Cobb-Douglas, which was initially motivated by Kaldor's growth fact of a constant labor share. To reconcile the aggregate production function with declining labor shares and increasing capital-output ratios, some researchers have suggested that capital can easily substitute labor. This, in turn, contradicts the vast econometric evidence that suggests capital and labor are gross complements. This paper introduces factor-biased technological change into a constant elasticity of substitution (CES) production function and shows how recent developments of the labor share can be reconciled with a reasonably calibrated CES when the substitution elasticity of capital and labor is low (�� 0.6). Empirically plausible calibration allows me to estimate the direction of technical change. The results suggest that all technological progress in the US over the last decades was labor-saving. This supports the idea that technological change in capital-rich countries is directed towards labor when production factors are complements..

The economic demography of Europe: An overview with National Transfer Accounts Bernhard Binder-Hammer, Vienna Institute of Demography Abstract: European economies vary significantly in how they distribute and redistribute resources among different age groups. This not only impacts the consequences of ageing but also affects the opportunities and well-being of the younger population, as well as the ageing process itself. Despite its importance, there is limited accessible data on individual income by age and the effects of government transfers and family contributions. The European National Transfer Accounts address this gap by integrating age and gender dimensions into National Accounts. In the presentation I will provide an overview of the European National Transfer Accounts and present a range of indicators that describe European economies from an age perspective, highlighting changes from 2008 to 2023. About the presenter: Bernhard Binder-Hammer is a population economist and data scientist at the Vienna Institute of Demography and TU Wien. He integrates economic and demographic data to address challenges like demographic change and intergenerational fairness. A core of his work involves developing European National Transfer Accounts, which integrate age and sex into the European System of Accounts, providing a foundation for analyzing and monitoring economies across Europe from a generational perspective. His research explores age-specific income changes, intergenerational transfers, their sustainability, and growing imbalances between generations, aiming to understand their impact on economic development and generational wellbeing.

Invitation | PROD-Webinar

[cid:image001.jpg@01DCF1E4.79F5ED70] Insights from the Swedish Government's Productivity Commission report: Institutions, reforms and creative destruction Webinar with Lars Persson, Research Institute of Industrial Economics (IFN)<https://www.ifn.se/en/researchers/ifn-researcher/lars-persson/> Hello, The Office of the Austrian Productivity Board (Produktivitätsrat) invites you to an online Seminar with Lars Persson, Deputy Director at IFN and member of the Swedish Productivity Commission, on 17 June 2026. Abstract In autumn 2025, the Swedish Government's Productivity Commission submitted its final report on how Sweden can once again become one of the countries with the highest productivity growth in the world, after a couple of decades of somewhat weaker performance. In this presentation, Lars Persson, one of the members of the Swedish Productivity Commission, presents the Commission's main conclusions. A central assessment was that Sweden fundamentally has strong conditions for robust productivity growth. Well-functioning institutions, efficiency-oriented norms, and competitive markets create pressure for structural transformation and incentives for entrepreneurship, education, work, investment, and infrastructure development. These factors are important explanations for the Commission's positive overall assessment. At the same time, in a rapidly changing global environment, there is significant scope for improvement. The Commission therefore proposed a number of reforms that, from a socioeconomic perspective, are expected to strengthen productivity. An important starting point is that reforms should be aimed at addressing fundamental market and regulatory failures. The presentation will focus, among other things, on institutions and reforms that promote entrepreneurship, creative destruction, better coordination among public authorities, and greater long-termism in infrastructure investment, for example in electricity supply. Host em. o. Univ. Prof. Dr. Christoph Badelt, Chair of the Austrian Productivity Board Date Wednesday, 17 June 2026 | 16:00 - 17:00 CEST Venue The event is planned online via Webex. Webex-Link https://oenb.webex.com/oenb/j.php?MTID=m40593b975a3f5bb34f394caf54f467fc Conference language English We look forward to having you join us at the Seminar. Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues or others who might be interested. If applicable, we would also appreciate it if you could inform colleagues involved in the work of your national productivity board. Yours sincerely, Austrian Productivity Board If you do have any questions or want to notify us of any address changes, please contact: E-Mail: office(a)produktivitaetsrat.at<mailto:office@produktivitaetsrat.at> Imprint<https://www.produktivitaetsrat.at/en/service/imprint.html> | Data Protection<https://www.produktivitaetsrat.at/en/service/data-protection.html>

Dear all, we kindly invite you to our next Economic Theory & Policy talk on Mon, 8th of June, 2026, 1:30 PM - TU Wien, Sem.R. DA yellow 03 (Freihaus Building, 3rd floor, yellow area) Chi Hyun Kim (HU Berlin) https://sites.google.com/site/chihyunkimecon/ "Measuring the Effects of Aggregate Shocks on Unit-Level Outcomes and Their Distribution" This paper studies the effect of aggregate shocks on micro-level outcomes. We develop and estimate a cross-sectional units vector autoregression (csuVAR) that combines aggregate variables with unit-level outcomes, earnings in our application. The csuVAR also allows us to reconstruct the cross-sectional distribution from the unit-level outcomes. We contrast the csuVAR with a functional VAR model (fVAR) that is designed to directly track the evolution of macroeconomic aggregates and a cross-sectional distribution, but not individual units. In an empirical application we examine the effect of productivity shocks on the unit-level labor earnings dynamics in Germany, using a panel data set constructed from the Sample of Integrated Labour Market Biographies (SIAB) published by Institute for Employment Research (IAB) of the German Federal Employment Agency.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, Hiermit laden wir Sie ganz herzlich zum 7. Kärntner Wirtschaftsgespräch ein: Was kann Österreich von der Schweiz lernen - und umgekehrt? am Mittwoch, 1. Juli 2026 17:30 Uhr in der Stadt Veranstaltungssaal der BKS Bank Zentrale St. Veiter Ring 43, 9020 Klagenfurt am Wörthersee Einführung: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin Wagner Impulsvorträge und Diskussion: Ländervergleich Österreich - Schweiz Univ.-Prof. Dr. Martin Wagner Institut für Volkswirtschaftslehre, Analytics und Operations Research, Universität Klagenfurt Donner der Geschichte: Finanzen, Staat und Gesellschaft Prof. Dr. Christoph A. Schaltegger Institut für Schweizer Wirtschaftspolitik, Universität Luzern Moderation: Mag. Uwe Sommersguter Leitung des Wirtschaftsressorts Kärnten/Osttirol der Kleinen Zeitung Was kann Österreich von der Schweiz lernen - und umgekehrt? Die Schweiz und Österreich ähneln sich in vielerlei Hinsicht: Beide sind rohstoffarme Binnenstaaten, deren hoher Wohlstand nur durch hohe Produktivität gesichert werden kann. Es gibt aber auch wesentliche Unterschiede: Die Schweiz ist essentiell direktdemokratisch organisiert und stärker föderalisiert als Österreich, strukturell mehrsprachig, nicht Mitglied in der Europäischen Union und verfügt mit dem Schweizer Franken über eine eigene Währung. Vielen gilt die Schweiz mit hohen Einkommen, geringer Staatsverschuldung und tiefer Arbeitslosenquote als wirtschaftliches Vorbild, was auch durch die starke Wirtschaftsmigration in die Schweiz zum Ausdruck kommt. Aufbauend auf einem Vergleich der makroökonomischen Situation zwischen Österreich und der Schweiz und einem Vortrag, der wesentliche Aspekte der politökonomischen Situation der Schweiz ausleuchtet, werden wir eingehend diskutieren, was Österreich von der Schweiz lernen kann, was die Schweiz von Österreich und was vielleicht beide von globalen Best-Performern lernen könnten. Welche Notwendigkeiten bezüglich Weichenstellungen für eine gute Zukunft können wir aus der Diskussion ableiten? Nähere Details entnehmen Sie bitte dem Veranstaltungsfolder. Der Eintritt ist frei. Um Anmeldung wird gebeten.

WU Research Seminar in Economics: Dietmar Fehr, June 10, 4.30 pm
by Oberhofer, Harald 01 Jun '26

01 Jun '26

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Research Seminar in Economics on Wednesday, June 10th, with Dietmar Fehr (Prof. Dr. Dietmar Fehr | Institute of Economics and Law | University of Stuttgart<https://www.ivr.uni-stuttgart.de/en/institute/team/Fehr-00004/>) presenting: "Status, Control, and Risk: How Relative Wealth Perceptions Shape Risk-Taking". Abstract: We embed an experiment in a large-scale representative survey to investigate how relative wealth affects risk-taking and how this effect varies as a function of perceived control over life outcomes. Our results contest the common prediction of higher risk-taking in the middle of the distribution. Instead, we find that respondents who are induced to perceive their relative wealth as low display more tolerance towards risk in a subsequent incentivized risk-taking task. This effect is not uniform but is mainly driven by individuals who more firmly believe that life outcomes are beyond their control. * Date: Wednesday, June 10th * 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
