Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Monday, May 23rd, with Rüdiger Bachmann (University of Notre Dame) on "Monopsony Makes Firms not only Small but also Unproductive: Why East Germany has not Converged" Abstract: When employers face a trade-off between growing large and paying low wages-that is, when they have monopsony power-some productive employers will decide to acquire fewer customers, forgo sales, and remain small. These decisions have adverse consequences for aggregate labor productivity. Using high-quality administrative data from Germany, we document that East German plants (compared to West German ones) face a steeper size- wage curve, invest less into marketing, and remain smaller. A model with labor market monopsony, product market power, and customer acquisition matching these features of the data predicts 10 percent lower aggregate labor productivity in East Germany. Date: Monday, May 23rd 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

REMINDER: WIC Colloquium May 16th, 2022: Alicia Adsera - Family Goals and Behavior in an International Comparative Analysis
by Simunics, Barbara 12 May '22

12 May '22

WIC Colloquium (hybrid format) ********************* Alicia Adserà, Princeton University Family Goals and Behavior in an International Comparative Analysis Monday, May, 16th, 2022, 15:00-16:00 (CEST) Please register for the presentation here until May 15th, 10:00 (CEST): https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration Login information will be sent to registered participants the day before the presentation. For a participation in person at the Vienna Institute of Demography, Vordere Zollamtsstraße 3, Ground floor, 1030 Wien, a registration is also required. Abstract: We aim to understand how family goals/values impact family behavior (especially union formation and fertility). We designed a survey to collect information on family goals that includes novel vignettes of family profiles that individuals are asked to evaluate in terms of their "success" and desirability. Family profiles vary by marital status, children, family investments and interactions, educational aspirations and intra-household specialization. We use online panels in Italy, Korea, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Japan, China and the US. Many of these countries have some of the lowest fertility rates in the world, but very different institutional settings, and family formation processes (including nonmarital unions and childbearing). A better understanding of family goals should allow us to theoretically integrate the ways in which mechanisms governing micro-level intimate family contexts scale up to (partially) explain macro-level trends in family patterns. About the presenter: Alicia Adserà is a Senior Research Scholar and Lecturer in Economics at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and director of graduate studies at the Office of Population Research (Princeton University). Her research interests are economic demography, development and political economy. She works on the interplay between economics and fertility as well as on migration. She holds a PhD in Economics from Boston University. Previously, she was a tenured Associate Professor (University of Illinois at Chicago) and Research Affiliate at the Population Research Center (University of Chicago).

WU Economics Research Seminar, 18.5.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Inga Heiland (Kiel University & IfW)
by Oberhofer, Harald 11 May '22

11 May '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, May 18th, with Inga Heiland (Kiel University & IfW) on "Trade From Space: Shipping Networks and The Global Implications of Local Shocks" Abstract: This paper examines the structure of the shipping network and its implications on global trade and welfare. Using novel data on the movements of container ships, we calculate optimal travel routes. We then estimate the impact of a shock to the network on global trade by means of a natural experiment: the 2016 Panama Canal expansion. Trade between country pairs using the canal increased by 9-10% after the expansion. While the building costs were borne by Panama alone, a model-based quantification shows that the welfare gains were shared by many countries, due to the network structure of shipping. Date: Wednesday, May 18th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building TC, fifth 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

Sehr geehrte Kolleginnen und Kollegen, ich darf Sie im Namen des neu gegründeten Kompetenzzentrums Klima und Gesundheit an der Gesundheit Österreich GmbH sehr herzlich zu einem Online Lunchtime Talk am 18.5. um 12h einladen (in englischer Sprache), bei dem wir internationale Sprecherinnen begrüßen dürfen (nähere Informationen und Anmeldung siehe unten). Herzliche Grüße, Andrea Schmidt Leitung Kompetenzzentrum Klima und Gesundheit [image: image.png] Gesundheit Österrreich cordially invites to a Lunchtime-Talk within the framework of the European Public Health Week 2022: *Health throughout the life course* The role of urban planning in enhancing health and climate equity *Lunchtime-Talk* Wednesday, 18 May 2022 | 12.00 to 13.15 pm (CET) *Online via Zoom* Registration <https://survey.goeg.at/index.php/996198?lang=de> In the context of increasing urbanisation, the role of urban planning is gaining in importance. The design of urban living spaces offers solutions for future challenges: resilient cities not only aim to mitigate the impacts of climate change, but also positively influence the quality of life, housing, and recreation of urban population. In addition, it can be seen as a lever to promote health and reduce the impacts of pre-existing inequalities. Experts from Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), EuroHealthNet and Vienna Solutions will present flashlights on science, on practice and on policy to outline the triple-win potential of urban planning and share their experiences and know-how with interested urban, health and climate experts and practitioners. *Programme* - *Flashlight on science* Natalie Mueller, Barcelona Institut for Global health (ISGlobal) - *Flashlight on practice* Alba Godfrey, EuroHealthNet - *Flashlight on policy* Maria Vassilakou, Vienna Solutions *Questions from the audience and discussion.* *Welcoming* Judith delle Grazie Head of Department on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Federal Ministry of Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection *Hosting and moderation* Ilonka Horváth Senior Health Expert at the Competence Centre on Climate and Health Gesundheit Österreich GmbH View details on the programme <https://goeg.at/Coll_health_climate_equity> The event is open to everyone interested.
