WU Economics Research Seminar, 27.04.2022, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Lisa Windsteiger (Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance)
by Oberhofer, Harald 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, April 27th, with Lisa Windsteiger (Max Planck Institute for Tax Law and Public Finance) on "Why is support for rent control so high? Evidence from a survey experiment" Abstract: We conduct a survey experiment among 18,000 respondents in Germany to examine the determinants of support for rent control policies. Comparing the effects of five information treatments on support for the Berlin rent cap, a drastic form of rent control introduced in 2020, allows us to disentangle the reasons behind respondents' widespread support for the policy. We find that support for rent control is driven by insufficient consideration of undesirable price and supply effects, and by a strong desire to prevent displacement of low-income tenants. While our information treatments shift support for the policy into the hypothesized direction on average, the effects generally diminish for individuals with (large) misperceptions. Our results suggest that mere information provision about the effects of a policy is not sufficient to effectively alter views on the policy. Date: Wednesday, April 27th 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

In his Ph. D. thesis, Engelbert Dockner derived an elegant stability analysis of two-state optimal control models. Another of his path-breaking contributions is the 'blue bible' on 'Differential Games in Economics and Management Science' (joint with Jorgensen, Long and Sorger). For most of his career, he was a Professor of Finance and worked on diverse topics such as asset pricing, risk dynamics, and financial market structures. <https://massmailer.univie.ac.at/action/mlr/im?&idx=962995&img=nUE0pUZ6Yl9gL…> The Dockner Lectures started in 2019 with Ngo Van Long (McGill University) at the Vienna University of Technology. In 2020 and 2021, the planned event at the Faculty of Business, Economics and Statistics had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Therefore, we are pleased to announce this year's Dockner Lecture by Cars Hommes, who is Professor of Economic Dynamics at the University of Amsterdam. We are looking forward to your participation at this year's Dockner Lecture!

WIC Online Colloquium, Wed, April 27th, 2022 - Roland Rau: On the Momentum of Pseudo-Stable Populations
by Simunics, Barbara 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Roland Rau, Max-Planck-Institute for Demographic Research On the Momentum of Pseudo-Stable Populations Wednesday, April 27th , 2022 15:00 - 16:00 (CEST) Please register for the presentation here until one day before the presentation 10:00 (CET): https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration Login information will be sent to registered participants shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract Stable population theory remains the standard model for the analytical study of population dynamics. It assumes a closed female population with time-invariant but age-specific fertility and mortality. We begin with a quick refresher about the transient and long-term effects of these assumptions (e.g., the intrinsic rate of growth and the age structure) as well as the classic case of population momentum. Pseudo-stable populations relax the strict fertility assumption: It allows fertility to decline at a constant rate. We show analytically and via simulations how births, population size, population momentum and other characteristics develop in this scenario with varying fertility transition speeds.

Invitation to the Seminar in International Economics Gathering support for green tax reform (online-event) Gathering support for green tax reform Speaker: Armon Rezai, Vienna University of Economics and Business Time: May 5, 2022, 3 p.m. Venue: This is an online event via Zoom. Registration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_adVR37anTaSKSZJ_ATKe3w The presentation is based on a paper<https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0014292121002518> co-authored with Frederick van der Ploeg and Miguel Tovar. The Seminar will be held in English. Abstract: Green tax reform is unpopular because, typically, the poor are hurt most by the higher prices of carbon-intensive commodities. If revenues from a carbon tax are recycled, it may be feasible to gain popular support for green tax reform. To investigate this, we estimate an EASI demand system from German household data and a labour supply schedule, using wage data, and the German income tax schedule and let emission intensities decline in the carbon tax. If the revenue from a carbon tax is recycled via a lump-sum transfer to all households, this gives more equitable albeit less efficient outcomes, yet 70% of households are worse off. If the revenue is recycled via lower income taxes, there is more efficiency at the expense of more inequality, and about half of households benefit. With a recycling mix of lump-sum transfers and lower income taxes, popular support can be mustered without hurting equity too much. We also investigate the effects of Germany meeting its legal target for curbing emissions by 55% in 2030 relative to 1990 levels. We find that most of emission reductions are due to producers responding by lowering emission intensities rather than by consumers to less carbon-intensive consumption categories. The presentation, when available, will be posted online after the event. Armon Rezai is professor at WU Wien, where he leads the Institute for Ecological Economics. His research focuses on questions of income and wealth distribution and economic growth in the context of climate change and has been published in leading journals such as the American Economic Review and Nature Climate Change. He was a Schrödinger fellow of the Austrian Science Fund and is currently senior guest researcher at IIASA and an external member of OxCARRE at the University of Oxford. Invitation to the Seminar in International Economics: Gender Differences in Mobility after Childbirth and Implications for the Gender Gap in Employment” (online-event) Gender Differences in Mobility after Childbirth and Implications for the Gender Gap in Employment Speaker: Andrea Albanese, Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) Time: May 12, 2022, 3 p.m. Venue: This is an online event via Zoom Registration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JCX2IRpHQai6SLuGeL0Y4w Due to illness of the presenter, this seminar had to be postponed at short notice from March 3 to May 12, 2022. The presentation is based on a paper with the same title co-authored with Adrian Nieto and Konstantinos Tatsiramos. The Seminar will be held in English. Abstract: Using a novel event study speciﬁcation that accounts for treatment heterogeneity together with Belgian social security and geo-location data at the individual level, we study mobility as a determinant of the gender gap in employment. We ﬁnd that, following childbirth, individuals are less likely to change of residence regardless of their gender, but that only mothers commute less and work less outside their region of residence. Consistent with this ﬁnding, childbirth not only reduces employment for mothers relative to fathers, but the gender gaps on non-local employment and high-paying jobs are higher than the gender gaps on local employment and low-paying positions, respectively. Lastly, we show that a higher level of unemployment in the region of residence prior to childbirth lead to a higher gender gap in employment after childbirth. As childbirth reduces mobility, individuals’ employment status may be more reliant on the initial regional conditions. The presentation, when available, will be posted online after the event. Andrea Albanese is a research scientist at Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER) and affiliated at Ghent University (Belgium), IZA (Germany), GLO (the Netherlands) and Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium).
