The newly developed strategy frameworks of central banks are currently put to a stress test whose outcomes are yet unknown. Central banks are facing again the perennial dilemma between fighting inflation with contractionary policies and supporting struggling economies with expansionary policies. Philipp Hildebrand, former Chairman of the Swiss National Bank and current Vice Chairman of BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset management firm, will provide his views on these major policy challenges. Mr. Hildebrand joined BlackRock as Vice Chairman in 2012. Prior to that, he served as Chairman of the Governing Board of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and was also Member of the Board of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Swiss Governor of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Previously, Mr. Hildebrand was Chief Investment Officer of a Swiss private bank and a partner at Moore Capital Management in London. He holds an MA from the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva and a DPhil from the University of Oxford.

Ad-hoc WU Economics Research Seminar, 2.6.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Josef Zweimüller (University of Zurich)
by Oberhofer, Harald 24 May '22

24 May '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Thursday, June 2nd, with Josef Zweimüller (University of Zurich) on "Duration Dependence in Finding a Job" Abstract: This paper studies the dynamics of job search using a novel administrative database on job search activities and outcomes of Swiss unemployed. We leverage on the panel structure of our data to control for the inherent dynamic selection process affecting our sample, to measure net- of-dynamic-selection duration dependence in the search effort provided by job seekers (i.e. the monthly number of applications) and firm's responses to applications (i.e. the probability of inviting job seekers to a job interview). We quantify the relative contribution of those two channels of duration dependence to the overall decrease in the number of job interviews and job offer rate, in a decomposition exercise. Our results show that both job-seekers' effort and firm's response to applications decrease steadily over time, also when controlling for individuals' heterogeneity. The combination of those negative trends leads to a large decrease in the number of job interviews and job offer rate over time. Approximately half of the empirical decrease in the job offer rate is attributable to diminishing search effort, while the remaining half is due to changes in recruiters' behavior. Were both channels of duration dependence to be shut down, the job offer rate faced by the unemployed individuals would essentially be flat. Date: Thursday, June 2nd Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.019 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 Fax: +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 Fax: +43/1/7989386 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer

Invitation to a high-profile Panel Discussion and Conference "How does a globally and regionally fair climate policy work?"
by Elisabeth Neppl 24 May '22

24 May '22

Dear Colleagues, we warmly would like to invite you to a high-profile Panel Discussion and Conference on 3 June 2022 from 9.30 am - 2.30 pm at the Library Center at WU Vienna. How does a globally and regionally fair climate policy work? WIFO Director and WU Professor Gabriel Felbermayr will discuss this with Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler, Eugénia Da Conceição-Heldt (TU Munich) and Ottmar Edenhofer (TU Berlin, MCC, PIK) on 3 June 2022 at 1:00 p.m. The discussion will be led by ORF moderator Marcus Wadsak. The panel discussion will take place in German language at the campus of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (Building LC, Festsaal 2, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna) as part of the project "The Role of Structural Change and Distributional Effects" (ROCHADE). WU Vienna and WIFO are local partners. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Austrian National Bank are sponsoring the event. The panel discussion will be preceded by an English based, scientific ROCHADE conference. Do ambitious climate policies prevent economic development? Do rising CO2 prices burden poor households in the global South in particular? These questions will be discussed with leading international scholars researching the development and distributional impacts of climate policy and the transformation of the global energy system. Conference program at a glance: 9:30-9:45 Opening Remarks - Prof. Gabriel Felbermayr, WIFO, WU Vienna 9:45-10:30 Mitigation policies in a globalized and developing world: the role of structural change and distributional effects (ROCHADE) - Prof. Jan Steckel, BTU Cottbus, MCC 10:30-10:45 Break 10:45-11:15 Putin's war, distributional justice and climate policy options - Lessons from an optimal taxation model for Germany - Prof. Ottmar Edenhofer, TU Berlin, MCC, PIK 11:15-11:45 Global energy regime complexity: the challenges ahead - Prof.in Eugénia da Conceição-Heldt, TU Munich 11:45-12:15 Feasibility of climate change mitigation in the real world - Prof.in Jessica Jewell, Chalmers University of Technology Gothenburg 12:15-13:00 Break 13:00-14:30 Panel discussion in German with * Eugénia Da Conceição-Heldt, Professorin TU München * Ottmar Edenhofer, Professor TU Berlin, MCC, PIK * Gabriel Felbermayr, Direktor WIFO, Professor WU Wien * Leonore Gewessler, Österreichische Klimaschutzministerin * Marcus Wadsak, Moderation, ORF Find more details here: https://www.wifo.ac.at/en/news/fair_climate_policy_at_global_and_regional_l… Elisabeth Neppl-Oswald [cid:image001.jpg@01D86F61.959D6260] Veranstaltungen | Events Kompetenzzentrum Konjunktur- und Unternehmensbefragungen | Coordinator Competence Centre Business Surveys T +43 1 798 26 01 228 E elisabeth.neppl(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:elisabeth.neppl@wifo.ac.at> [cid:image002.png@01D86F61.959D6260] Österreichisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Austrian Institute of Economic Research A-1030 Wien, Arsenal, Objekt 20 www.wifo.ac.at<http://www.wifo.ac.at/>

WU Economics Research Seminar, 1.6.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Albrecht Glitz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra)
by Oberhofer, Harald 24 May '22

24 May '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, June 1st, with Albrecht Glitz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) on "Labor Market Competition and the Assimilation of Immigrants" Abstract: In this paper, we show that the wage assimilation of immigrants is the result of the intricate interplay between individual skill accumulation and dynamic labor market equilibrium effects. If immigrants and natives are imperfect substitutes, rising immigrant inflows will widen the wage gap between them. Using a simple production function framework in which workers supply both general and host-country-specific skills, we show that this labor market competition channel can explain about one fifth of the large increase in the average immigrant-native wage gap across arrival cohorts in the United States since the 1960s. Date: Wednesday, June 1st Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building TC, 5th floor, room TC.5.18 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 Fax: +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 Fax: +43/1/7989386 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer
