After the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) and the European sovereign debt crisis as well as during the COVID pandemic, several advanced economy (AE) central banks used asset purchase programmes (APPs) or other lending programmes to achieve their policy aims. In doing so and to pursue their policy objectives, central banks took financial positions, which influence their profits and losses as a by-product. As policy rates are being hiked sharply to fight high inflation, several central banks incur sizeable losses as a result of their asset-liability composition. These losses may persist and even increase in coming years. Do such losses represent a threat to central banks’ financial independence and their credibility with regards to their anti-inflationary commitment? Why is insolvency (not) a concern for central banks? How could large and/or persistent losses be addressed in accounting terms? Will taxpayers’ money have to be injected, or will central banks just not transfer seigniorage income to governments for years to come? Ultimately, losses and negative equity do not directly affect the ability of central banks to operate effectively. In normal times and in crises, central banks should be judged exclusively on whether they fulfil their mandates. Central banks can underscore their continued ability to achieve policy objectives by clearly explaining the reasons for losses and highlighting the overall benefits of their policy measures. www.suerf.org/centralbanks<http://www.suerf.org/centralbanks> Speakers Sarah Bell, BIS; Ulrich Bindseil, ECB I SUERF Fellow; Patricia C Mosser, Columbia SIPA I SUERF Fellow; Peter Wierts, De Nederlandsche Bank, moderated by Ernest Gnan, SUERF [cid:image007.png@01D950E2.8275F5E0] Feel free to share this invitation with colleagues who might be interested to attend!

WU Economics Research Seminar, 15.3.2023, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Paul Schaudt (University of Bern)
by Oberhofer, Harald 07 Mar '23

07 Mar '23

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, March 15th, with Paul Schaudt (University of Bern) on "Ethnofederalism and EthnicVoting" Abstract: We investigate how changes in the administrative-territorial structure affect ethnic voting. We present an event study design that exploits the 2010 constitutional reform in Kenya, which substantially increased the number of primary administrative regions. We find (i) strong evidence for a reduction in ethnic voting when administrative regions become less ethnically diverse and (ii) weak evidence for such a reduction when ethnic groups become less fragmented across regions. These results suggest that 'ethnofederal' reforms (leading to administrative borders that more closely follow ethnic boundaries) can mitigate ethnic politics in diverse countries. Date: Wednesday, March 15th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room 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> 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

NEW Call for Papers “Exploring Population Heterogeneities”, Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2023
by VID, conference 06 Mar '23

06 Mar '23

Dear Colleagues, The Call for Papers for this year’s Wittgenstein Centre Conference has just been released: “Exploring Population Heterogeneities”, Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2023 6 -7 December 2023, Vienna/Austria Understanding and analyzing population heterogeneity and its drivers have long been at the heart of demographic analysis. For instance, while inequalities in health and life expectancy across socio-economic groups have been studied since long, their increase over the past decade has turned into a growing concern. In addition to “classical” markers of heterogeneity in individual behavior, such as sex/gender, age, education, urban-rural residence and socio-economic status, there are other important sources of demographic heterogeneity such as spatial, generational, environmental, etc. Their analysis is essential for modeling population developments and projecting them into the future. Equally important is to understand how these heterogeneities arise and evolve, how they are driving and driven by socioeconomic inequality, and the policy challenges they impose for socio-economic development, welfare systems and social cohesion. This conference invites researchers from all social sciences to present work on the causes and consequences of population heterogeneity. Empirical and theoretical papers are welcome. Call for Papers open now! Find all details here: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/conferences/exploring-population-heteroge… Feel free to spread the news within your networks. Pleae excuse any cross postings.

EAERE Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics: Transnational and Cascading Climate Risks and Adaptation
by eaere-summer-school, VWLP (eaere-summer-school＠uni-graz.at) 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Call for Participation: EAERE Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics: Transnational and Cascading Climate Risks and Adaptation<https://eaere-summer-school.uni-graz.at/en/summer-school-2023/> The impacts of climate change materialize at the local level, yet physical connections e.g. via water sheds or international trade or migration trigger the transmission of climate change impacts across borders. Due to the high complexity of global supply chains, these transnational climate risks affect not only climate sensitive sectors such as agriculture, but also industrial and service sectors that are usually not at the center of climate change impact assessments. The IPCC and several national and international agencies have therefore identified transnational climate risks to be potentially very damaging, particularly for highly trade exposed countries. However, the economic literature on this issue is still emerging. The summer school therefore reviews different economic modeling approaches capable of assessing transnational and cascading climate risks. Lectures will cover different approaches to assess economic impacts and adaptation in various impact fields, such as flooding, heat, drought and migration etc. Additional topics are the modeling of response strategies, including international adaptation finance. Students will deepen their knowledge of their own core methodological experience, get a better understanding of complementary methods, and gain insights into novel modeling tools from related fields such as political science. 2 July 2023 - 8 July 2023 Location: Castle Seggau, close to the city of Graz (Austria) Organizer: University of Graz Scientific Coordinator: Francesco Bosello (CMCC) Local organizer: Birgit Bednar-Friedl, Uni Graz Faculty: Francesco Bosello, CMCC Associate professor of economics at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice & senior scientist at the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) Cristina Cattaneo, EIEE Head of the research area on Human Migration, RFF-CMCC European Institute of the Environment (EIEE) Rob Dellink, OECD OECD Environment Directorate, Environment and Economy Integration Division Anil Markandya Distinguished Ikerbasque Professor at the Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) & Honorary Professor of Economics, University of Bath Magnus Benzie, SEI Oxford (tbc) Stockholm Environmental Institute Oxford Application deadline: March 31st, 2023 More information about the scope of the Summer School and the application procedure can be found on the Summer School website: https://eaere-summer-school.uni-graz.at/en/summer-school-2023/ -- EAERE Summer School Secretariat University of Graz (Department of Economics and Wegener Center) A-8010 Graz, Austria https://eaere-summer-school.uni-graz.at

FW: Theory & Policy Seminars: March 2 A. Scholl
by Hutter, Julia 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

Dear all, We kindly invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk on Thursday, March 2, 2023 from 5:00 – 6:30 pm (Seminarroom DB04 yellow, Freihaus Building, yellow area, 4th floor) Taxation of Top Incomes and Tax Avoidance Almuth Scholl<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wiwi.uni-konstanz.de%2Fschol…> (Universität Konstanz) https://www.wiwi.uni-konstanz.de/scholl/team/prof-dr-almuth-scholl/ This paper studies the aggregate and distributional effects of raising the top marginal income tax rate in the presence of tax avoidance. To this end, we develop a quantitative macroeconomic model with heterogeneous agents and occupational choice in which entrepreneurs can avoid taxes in two ways. On the extensive margin, entrepreneurs can choose the legal form of their business organization to reduce their tax burden. On the intensive margin, entrepreneurs can shift their income between different tax bases. In a quantitative application to the US economy, we find that tax avoidance lowers productive efficiency, generates sizable welfare losses, and reduces the effectiveness of the top marginal tax rate at lowering inequality. Tax avoidance reduces the optimal top marginal income tax rate from 47% to 43%.
