This year's conference topic is “Gender, the Economy and Digitalization”<https://www.suerf.org/gender-money-finance-2022>. The COVID pandemic and other major current economic challenges accentuate the role of economic perceptions for economic agents’ behavior, for optimal economic policy responses and their communication. In the financial sphere, the role of Fintech challenges established financial institutions’ business models and at the same time requires consumers to quickly and sharply adjust their user behavior of financial and payments services. What role does gender play in these fields? Does gender influence perceptions and the speed and mode of adjustment to new economic developments and to rapidly changing financial services towards Fintech? How can the gender mix among experts, policy and decision makers affect the conception and development of economic policy responses and of Fintech, to ensure fair and equal access and benefits for all, irrespective of gender? This meeting will bring together policy makers, academics, and financial industry representatives to address gender-related aspects and to share best practices in the field. CET Tuesday, 8 March 2022 • Online via Webex 15:00 Opening and welcome Ernest Gnan, OeNB and SUERF Session 1 - Gender and economic perceptions: Implication for policy making Introduction and moderation: Sylvie Goulard, Second Deputy Governor, Banque de France Laurence Boone, Chief Economist, OECD (tbc) Cecilia Garcia-Peñalosa, Research Professor, Aix-Marseille University; Fellow of CESIFO and CEPR Sabine Mauderer, Member of the Executive Board, Deutsche Bundesbank 16:00 Session 2 - Gender and FinTech Moderation: Yael Selfin, Chief Economist, KPMG and SUERF Sharon Chen, Founding member of the Ernst & Young (EY) FinTech Team Susanne Chishti, CEO, FinTech Circle Claudia Guagliano, Team Leader – Innovation and Products, ESMA Alexandra Maniati, Senior Director, Innovation & Cybersecurity, EBF Caroline Lamaud Dupont, Co-founder of Anaxago 17:15 End To participate, please register by using the following LINK<https://www.suerf.org/registration/9023/gender-money-finance-2022>.

JKU economics research seminar, 9.3.2022
by René Böheim 01 Mar '22

01 Mar '22

Dear colleagues, we cordially invite you to our Economic Research Seminar, Summer 2022, https://www.jku.at/en/department-of-economics/research/research-events/econ…. Our first lecture will be held online: Wed, 9th of March, 2022, 4:15 pm via Zoom: Valeria Merlo (University of Tübingen) "Taxes, Profit Shifting, and the Real Activities of MNEs: Evidence from Corporate Tax Notches“ Abstract: This paper exploits exogenous variation in tax notches created by controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules to better understand the profit-shifting behavior of multinationals. Using new data on CFC rules and bilateral parent-affiliate ownership data, we estimate a profit-shifting semi-elasticity of about 0.32. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the unilateral implementation of anti-tax-avoidance regulation at the parent location leads to profit relocations consistent with tax-minimizing behavior. We do not find any evidence that parent countries benefit from this regulation (in terms of repatriated tax base) or that parent firms bear the economic costs (real outcomes of parents remain unaffected). Valeria Merlo is a professor of Economics at the University of Tübingen. Her research focuses on international economics, public economics, multinational firms, international taxation and applied economics. Furthermore she is part of the CESifo Research Fellowship, the Norwegian Center for Taxation (NoCeT) as well as the Ausschuss für Außenwirtschaftstheorie und -politik. Selected publications: * “The Commitment Role of Equity Financing” (with Matthias Fahn and Georg Wamser), Journal of the European Economic Association, July 2018 * “Measuring the Interdependence of Multinational Firms' Foreign Investments” (with Simon Bösenberg, Peter Egger and Georg Wamser), Economic Inquiry, April 2018 * “A Structural Quantitative Analysis of Services Trade De-liberalization, Discussion Paper 47/2018” (with Sven Blank, Peter Egger and Georg Wamser), Deutsche Bundesbank, December 2018 * “Relational Contracts, the Costs of Enforcing Formal Contracts, and Capital Structure Choice – Theory and Evidence” (with Matthias Fahn and Georg Wamser), RSIT Working Paper 02/2017 Zoom-Link for the lecture: https://jku.zoom.us/j/98460284922?pwd=R1ExbHQ3R2JaTkZGay9XeFRqNCtLQT09 Meeting-ID: 984 6028 4922 Passwort: 276571 Best regards, René Böheim — PD René Böheim, PhD Department of Economics JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITÄT LINZ Altenberger Straße 69 4040 Linz, Österreich P +43-732-2468-7369

Reminder: Please note, that this talk will start at 4:00 pm! ---- Dear all, we would like to invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk: Thu, March 3, 4:00 pm (online via Zoom) https://tuwien.zoom.us/j/95006905406?pwd=MDVXR1dhdXpwMmNMNHlSTGdUbC9FQT09 Average Inflation Targeting and the Interest Rate Lower Bound Flora Budianto (BIS)<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fsite%2Fflorab…> https://sites.google.com/site/florabudianto/home Specifying the central bank's inflation target in terms of an average inflation rate - rather than a period-by-period inflation rate - increases welfare in a New Keynesian model with an occasionally binding lower bound on nominal interest rates. Under rational expectations, the welfare-maximizing averaging window is infinitely long, which means that optimal average inflation targeting (AIT) is equivalent to price level targeting (PLT). However, AIT with a finite, but sufficiently long, averaging window can attain most of the welfare gain from PLT. Under boundedly-rational expectations, if cognitive limitations are sufficiently strong, the optimal averaging window is finite, and the welfare gain of adopting AIT can be small.

FIW-Working Paper N° 196 ‘Cutting Through the Value Chain: The Long-Run Effects of Decoupling the East from the West” veröffentlicht FIW Working Paper N° 196 February 2022 Cutting Through the Value Chain: The Long-Run Effects of Decoupling the East from the West Gabriel Felbermayr, Hendrik Mahlkow, Alexander Sandkamp Abstract: With ever-increasing political tensions between China and Russia on one side and the EU and the US on the other, it only seems a matter of time until protectionist policies cause a decoupling of global value chains. This paper uses a computable general equilibrium trade model calibrated with the latest version of the GTAP database to simulate the effect of doubling non-tariff barriers - both unilateral and reciprocal - between the two blocks on trade and welfare. Imposing trade barriers almost completely eliminates bilateral imports. In addition, changes in price levels lead to higher imports and lower exports of the imposing country group from and to the rest of the world. The targeted country group increases exports to the rest of the world and reduces imports. Welfare falls in all countries involved, suggesting that governments should strive to cooperate rather than turning away from each other. By imposing a trade war on Russia, the political West could inflict severe damage on the Russian economy because of the latter’s smaller relative size.

Participants will be provided with accommodation in central Vienna, and airfares for speakers will also be reimbursed subject to certain budget guidelines. The conference is generously supported by the Heinrich Graph Hardegg’sche Stiftung, FIW, University of Vienna, VGSE, wiiw, and the European Research Council under the EU Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme (grant agreement 724880). Reminder: Einladung zum 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 (Online event) Vortragender: Andrea Albanese, Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research Zeit: Donnerstag, 3. März 2022, 15:00 Uhr Registrierungslink: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JCX2IRpHQai6SLuGeL0Y4w Dies ist eine Online-Veranstaltung über Zoom. Bitte registrieren Sie sich für den Einwahllink. Dieser wird Ihnen umgehend nach der Registrierung zugeschickt. Sprache: Englisch The presentation is based on a paper with the same title co-authored with Adrian Nieto and Konstantinos Tatsiramos. Description: 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. Wir freuen uns über Ihre Teilnahme an den Veranstaltungen.

FIW-Working Paper N° 196 ‘Cutting Through the Value Chain: The Long-Run Effects of Decoupling the East from the West” published FIW Working Paper N° 196 February 2022 Cutting Through the Value Chain: The Long-Run Effects of Decoupling the East from the West Gabriel Felbermayr, Hendrik Mahlkow, Alexander Sandkamp Abstract: With ever-increasing political tensions between China and Russia on one side and the EU and the US on the other, it only seems a matter of time until protectionist policies cause a decoupling of global value chains. This paper uses a computable general equilibrium trade model calibrated with the latest version of the GTAP database to simulate the effect of doubling non-tariff barriers - both unilateral and reciprocal - between the two blocks on trade and welfare. Imposing trade barriers almost completely eliminates bilateral imports. In addition, changes in price levels lead to higher imports and lower exports of the imposing country group from and to the rest of the world. The targeted country group increases exports to the rest of the world and reduces imports. Welfare falls in all countries involved, suggesting that governments should strive to cooperate rather than turning away from each other. By imposing a trade war on Russia, the political West could inflict severe damage on the Russian economy because of the latter’s smaller relative size.

Invitation to 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 (Online event) Speaker: Andrea Albanese, Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research Time: Thursday March 3, 2022, 15:00 CET Registration: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JCX2IRpHQai6SLuGeL0Y4w This is an online event via Zoom. Please register for the dial-in link. The dial-in link will be sent to you immediately after registration. Language: English The presentation is based on a paper with the same title co-authored with Adrian Nieto and Konstantinos Tatsiramos. Description: 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. We are looking forward to your participation in the events.
