CEU Seminar: Josef Zechner (WU) -- March 18 [Wed 11.15-12.30]
by Timea Laura Molnar 11 Mar '26

11 Mar '26

Dear all, Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Josef Zechner (WU). Seminar title: Local Currency Debt and Sovereign Rollover Risk (joint with Jaewon Choi, Sebastiao Olivera and Jay Rafi). Abstract: Using granular bond-level data on emerging-market sovereign debt, we construct country-specific maturity structures and document three novel stylized facts: (1) a negative relationship between average maturity and the share of local currency debt; (2) sustained declines in average local-currency debt maturity; and (3) increases in rollover requirements with substantial cross-country and time variation. We show that the effects of exogenous shocks to capital outflows on rollover risk are substantially amplified in countries with larger shares of short-term local-currency debt, as reflected in sharper increases in exchange rates, bond yields, and CDS spreads. Our results underscore the lasting effects of the "original sin." You are all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. March 18, Wednesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, QS B-505, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna) 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.

CEU Seminar: Matthias Doepke (LSE) -- March 11 (Wed) [11.15-12.30]
by Timea Laura Molnar 04 Mar '26

04 Mar '26

Dear all, Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Matthias Doepke (LSE). Seminar title: Preparing Kids for Capitalism: The Effect of German Reunification on the Intergenerational Transmission of Preferences (with Mariko Klasing) Abstract: Empirical research has shown that children and their parents are similar to each other in terms of in economic preferences such as patience and risk aversion. What drives this intergenerational correlation in preferences? To address this question, we build a model of preference formation in which children's preferences are shaped by genetic transmission, passive transmission in the local environment, and active socialization by parents. We then use the natural experiment of German reunification to assess the importance of these channels. Specifically, our model implies that genetic channels should act independently of the political regime; that passive transmission channels should respond to the greater use of government-provided childcare in East Germany versus parent-provided care in West Germany; and that parents' active socialization efforts should be responsive to the new challenges that moving from a socialist to a capitalist system presents. Empirical evidence on the correlation of preferences between parents and children born on both sides of the border before, during, and after reunification suggests a role for all three transmission channels. You are all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. March 11, Wednesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, QS B-505, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna) Speaker’s website: https://mdoepke.github.io/ 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.

Please mail to sonnenfelscenter(a)webster.ac.at We are looking forward to welcome you at our new base! Wolfgang Weigel m.p. (Chair) abstract Governments increasingly turn to behavioral interventions (or nudges) to advance their policy goals. Such policies have already been employed in many major domain, from health, safety, education, and finance, through environmental protection and tax compliance, to public service delivery and more. Yet, while governments recognize the need to discipline traditional regulation through institutional or economic assessment mechanismssuch as cost-benefit analysis (CBA)the same cannot be said of their approach to nudges. Instead, there is a widespread view that such soft interventions are largely harmless and entail only low costs, needing no scrutiny before they are adopted. This pervasive complacency is misplaced, however, as nudges often produce substantial costs that can exceed their benefits, undermine rational choice, and more. Behavioral interventions must be scrutinized no less carefully than their traditional counterparts, whether through CBA or by developing novel assessment methods suited to disciplining the rapidly growing behavioral Leviathan.

Economic Theory & Policy Seminar / F. Kindermann / Unequal life span and redistribution
by Hutter, Julia 03 Mar '26

03 Mar '26

Dear all, we kindly invite you to our next Economic Theory & Policy talk on Mon, 09th of March, 2026, 4:00 PM - TU Wien, Sem.R. DA green 04 (Freihaus Building, 4th floor, green area) "Unequal life span and redistribution" Fabian Kindermann (University of Regensburg) (joint with Sebastian Kunz) Inequality in life expectancy across individuals is large, and it shows a strong correlation with income. But does this critical dimension of inequality, extending beyond income and wealth, call for additional fiscal redistribution? In this paper, we explore how systematic differences in life expectancy and health influence optimal fiscal redistribution. We propose a parsimonious modeling framework that allows us to immediately point to the mechanisms that shape the optimal fiscal tax and transfer system when individuals differ in their life expectancy. Theoretically, we demonstrate that heterogeneity in life expectancy alone prompts a utilitarian government to redistribute from individuals with shorter to those with longer life expectancy. However, if we consider that health status may also impact on the ability to enjoy late life consumption, this redistribution can be reversed. We then develop and calibrate a quantitative life-cycle model with heterogeneous agents that differ in income and health to study optimal fiscal redistribution through the pension system.

[INEQ Research Seminar] Thijs Bol (University of Amsterdam), March 9: Gender inequality in bonus compensation
by Disslbacher, Franziska 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '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. Thijs Bol<thijsbol.com> (University of Amsterdam) will present the paper Gender inequality in bonus compensation. Date and Time: Monday, March 9; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, D4.0.136<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.136>. Abstract Gender wage inequality is persistent across contexts and time, with women earning less than men, even when controlling for factors such as job role, experience, and performance metrics. Recent research has highlighted that gender wage inequality does not just arise from differences in base wages, but also from additional compensation. In this article we contribute to this literature by studying gender wage inequality in a specific form of performance pay: bonus compensations, that are handed out mostly at the end of the calendar year and are based on workers’ (perceived) contributions to firms. While studies have shown that there are cross-sectional differences in the extent to which men and women receive bonuses, we do not know where these differences come from: is there within-firm inequality in the extent to which men and women receive bonuses, or do women sort into firms where bonuses are lower (or less often handed out)? We leverage unique longitudinal data from the Dutch population registers (2013-2023) that allow for tracking all workers monthly and contain administrative information on all wages and bonus payments without censoring. Our preliminary results show large gender inequality in bonus payments, even among workers with similar wages in the same firm. This inequality in bonus compensation is driven by both driven by within- and between-firm (i.e., sorting) processes.
