CEU Seminar: Dorothea Kuebler (WZB) -- March 4 Wed [11.15-12.30]
by Timea Laura Molnar 27 Feb '26

27 Feb '26

Dear all, Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Dorothea Kuebler (WZB). Seminar title: ‘Behavioral measures improve AI hiring`. Abstract: The adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for hiring processes is often impeded by a scarcity of comprehensive employee data. We hypothesize that the inclusion of behavioral measures elicited from applicants can enhance the predictive accuracy of AI in hiring. We study this hypothesis in the context of microfinance loan officers. Our findings suggest that survey-based behavioral measures markedly improve the predictions of a random-forest algorithm trained to predict productivity within the sample relative to demographic information alone. We then validate the algorithm’s robustness to the selectivity of the training sample and potential strategic responses by applicants by running two out-of-sample tests: one forecasting the future performance of novice employees, and another with a field experiment on hiring. Both tests corroborate the effectiveness of incorporating behavioral data to predict performance and the usefulness of AI hiring. You are all cordially invited to her in-person seminar. Time and venue: March 4, Wednesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, QS C-323, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna). Speaker’s website: https://www.wzb.eu/en/persons/dorothea-kubler 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.

WU Research Seminar in Economics - Gabor Bekes - March 4, 4.30 pm
by Oberhofer, Harald 23 Feb '26

23 Feb '26

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the Research Seminar in Economics on Wednesday, March 4th, with Gábor Békés (https://people.ceu.edu/gabor_bekes) presenting: "What Happens in Paris, Does Not Stay in Paris: Trade Fairs and Search and Matching Frictions". Abstract: Search and matching frictions prevent firms from forming international trade linkages. Firms commonly use trade fairs to overcome these frictions. However, despite often being subsidized by export promotion agencies, we lack evidence on how trade fairs facilitate link formation. We exploit a unique feature of Hungarian firms' participation in the 1900 Paris World Exhibition, where a trial exhibition revealed firms' ex-ante export potential category to develop a novel bounding strategy that compares treated firms to control groups from "above" and "below" in export potential. To implement our empirical strategy, we collected and digitized a novel dataset detailing firms' exhibition attendance and export status, linking entities across five different datasets. We find that participation increases export probability by 8.5-14\% and employment by 15.4-23\% over eight years. Effects are larger when firms face fewer domestic competitors and more potential international buyers. This highlights both matching benefits and congestion effects when search and matching frictions are reduced. To carry out this estimation, we build a novel historical panel dataset of Hungarian firms for the 1894 to 1906 period by digitizing and combining over 12,000 firm records from five historical datasets. * Date: Wednesday, March 4th * 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

CEU Seminar: Pat Akey (ESSEC Business School) -- Feb25 [Wed 11.15-12.30]
by Timea Laura Molnar 19 Feb '26

19 Feb '26

Dear all, Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Pat Akey (ESSEC Business School). Seminar title: Do carbon markets undermine private climate initiatives? (joint work with Ian Appel, Aymeric Bellon, and Johannes Klausmann) Abstract: We study the relationship between firms’ emission reductions and their trading of carbon allowances in the secondary market under the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), the world’s largest cap-and-trade program. Firms that cut emissions surrender fewer allowances, as required, but also sell more allowances on the secondary market. These sales shift the right to pollute to other firms, potentially leaving aggregate emissions unchanged. We find no evidence of reductions outside the EU or of investments in green technologies. Emission cuts are associated with higher ESG scores, creating potential benefits for firms. Our results suggest that secondary market behavior is critical to assessing firms’ aggregate climate impact. You are all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. Time and venue: February 25, Wednesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, QS B-505, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna). Speaker’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/patakey/research 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.

WIC-Colloquium - Tuesday, 03 March 2026 - Ariane Bertogg - Family Diversity and Care Contexts: Who Provides Family and Non-Family Care in Europe?
by K.C., Binita 19 Feb '26

19 Feb '26

[cid:image005.jpg@01DCA1BD.02BCA2C0] [Tageskalender]<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/ICAL-files/Colloqui…>Tuesday, 3/3/2026 12:00-13:00 (CET) Location: PSK, Meeting Room 1, 3rd floor. Please register here<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration>. Family Diversity and Care Contexts: Who Provides Family and Non-Family Care in Europe? Ariane Bertogg, University of Konstanz Abstract: Family members provide a substantial share of unpaid care to older adults. Less is known about the pathways into non-family care, despite the increasing family diversity. Research gaps concern the role of kinship structure and the specific "care context". My contribution asks: (1) how are individuals' embedment in kinship structures is associated with care provision to family members and non-family persons, and (2) how these associations vary between care contexts with their old-age care policies and care norms? Applying random effects logistic regression models to SHARE data, I find that one in four caregivers provides care to non-family persons. Individuals with neither partner nor children are more than twice as likely to provide non-family care as those with both a partner and children. Stronger family care norms discourage non-family care. This association is strongest for individuals with neither partner nor children. Regarding policies, I find evidence for a "crowding in"-effect: the greater state expenditures on formal services and care allowance, the more likely we observe non-family care. About the presenter: Ariane Bertogg is an assistant professor and research group leader at the University of Konstanz. The aim of her research is to study gender and socio-economic inequalities in health and wellbeing, unpaid care work and paid employment across the life course, with a special interest in later life. Taking a comparative perspective, her work investigates the cultural and institutional foundations for new inequalities arising in ageing societies. Ariane's work has been published in Social Forces, Gender and Society, and Journals of Gerontology - Series B. ********************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA **********************************************************************************

----------- diese Veranstaltung wird auf Englisch stattfinden; für deutschsprachigen Einladungstext bitte runter scrollen ----------- Dear colleagues, This is a kind reminder: We invite you to the Academy Lecture: Karl Popper-Lecture, titled "Demography and Hyperdiversity" by Francesco C. Billari (Bocconi University, Mailand). Date: Monday, 23 February 2026, 17:00 CET Venue: Festive Hall, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Dr. Ignaz-Seipel-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna Language: English Opening and Welcome: Christiane Wendehorst (President of the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences of the OeAW) & Marc Luy (Director of the Vienna Institute of Demography of the OeAW) A series of major revolutions has greatly increased population diversity. Longer life expectancy has created generational diversity and encouraged long-term investment; expanded education has increased social diversity; social and technological change has enhanced gender diversity; and migration has intensified diversity by origin, leading to globally diverse cities and countries. Together, these forces produce "superdiversity," which, through varied life courses and lifestyles, evolves into "hyperdiversity." The talk examines empirical evidence as well as the opportunities and challenges of this hyperdiverse world. Francesco Billari is Professor of Demography at Bocconi University in Milan, where he became Rector in November 2022 after previously serving as Dean of the Faculty, and corresponding member abroad of the OeAW. more<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/NEWS/2026/pdf/Einladungsblatt-Karl-Popper-…> registration<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/anmeldung/akademievorlesungen> The lecture will be held in English and in person.
