Februar 2022, 15:00: Award Ceremony Bekanntgabe der Gewinner des FIW Best Paper Award 22 und des FIW Young Economist Award 22. FIW-Jahresgutachten 2022 zur Lage der österreichischen Außenwirtschaft veröffentlicht Das Kompetenzzentrum "Forschungsschwerpunkt Internationale Wirtschaft" (FIW) stellte am Montag, den 21. Februar 2022 sein insgesamt drittes Jahresgutachten zur "Lage der österreichischen Außenwirtschaft" vor. Das Jahresgutachten widmet sich den aktuellen internationalen Rahmenbedingungen für die österreichische Außenwirtschaft und der Handelsentwicklung im Jahr 2021. Darüber hinaus präsentieren die Studienautorinnen und Studienautoren kurz- und mittelfristige Prognosen für die zu erwartende zukünftige Entwicklung der österreichischen Außenwirtschaftsbeziehungen.

FIW-Working Paper N° 195 ‘On the Heterogenous Trade and Welfare Effects of GATT/WTO Membership” veröffentlicht FIW Working Paper N° 195 February 2022 On the Heterogenous Trade and Welfare Effects of GATT/WTO Membership Gabriel Felbermayr, Mario Larch, Erdal Yalcin, Yoto V. Yotov* Abstract: We quantify the partial and general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive database covering manufacturing trade for 186 countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the average impact of GATT/WTO membership on trade among member counties is large, positive, and significant. We contribute to the literature by estimating country-specific estimates and find them to vary widely across the countries in our sample with poorer members benefitting more. Using these estimates, we simulate the general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO on welfare, which are sizable and heterogeneous across members, and relatively small for non-member countries. We show that countries not experiencing positive trade effects from joining GATT/WTO can still gain in terms of welfare, due to lower import prices and higher export demand. Keywords: GATT, WTO, Heterogenous Policy Effects, Welfare.

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.

The annual report is dedicated to the current international framework conditions for Austrian foreign trade and trade developments in 2021. In addition, the study authors present short- and medium-term forecasts for the expected future development of Austrian foreign trade relations. For 2021, the FIW forecasts a current account deficit of € 3.2 billion (-0.8% of GDP). The reasons for Austria's first deficit in 20 years, according to the FIW annual report, are the total loss of winter tourism in 2020/21 and the deterioration of trade conditions accompanied by a more dynamic development of Austrian imports. A surplus of around €3.5 billion is expected again in 2022. The FIW Annual Report 2022 is available for download here<https://fiw.ac.at/fileadmin/Documents/Publikationen/Jahresgutachten_2022/FI…>.

Dear colleagues, May I draw your attention to a SUERF BAFFI Bocconi e-lecture: Fixed Income Market Liquidity: Where do we stand?<https://www.suerf.org/webinars/2437/fixed-income-market-liquidity-where-do-…> , which will take place on Thursday, 3 March 2022, online from 15:00 to 16:30 CET.

This segment of the global financial system is seeing steadily rising importance due to e.g. sharply increasing issuance (e.g. the EU’s Nexgen programme) but has also faced major stress events in recent years. Against this backdrop key issues for discussion are: * To what extent is the current decentralized market structure, which heavily relies on bank Dealers, still up to the growing challenges? * What can policy makers do to foster market liquidity? Where does the ongoing reform process in US markets stand? * What is the impact of long-term structural trends on resilience of market liquidity: Low-rate environment, growing electronic trading, declining role of bank Dealers and rising role of non-bank intermediaries such as Principal Trading firms? * Do major bond markets need a permanent “Dealer of last resort”? * What is the European perspective on bond market liquidity, also in the light of the work towards a Capital Markets Union?

ECON Theory and Policy talk, F. Budianto, March 3
by Hutter, Julia 21 Feb '22

21 Feb '22

Dear all, we would like to invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk: Thu, March 3, 3:30pm (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.

Description: The presentation is based on a paper<https://dkuvshinov.com/wp-content/uploads/shifts_shocks_latest.pdf> co-authored with Björn Richter and Kaspar Zimmermann. This paper studies the long-run evolution of bank risk and its links to the macroeconomy. Using data for 17 advanced economies, we show that the riskiness of bank assets declined materially between 1870 and 2016. But even though bank assets have become safer, the losses on these assets are associated with increasingly large output gaps. Before 1945, bank asset returns had no excess predictive power for future economic activity, while after 1945 they have outperformed non-financials as a predictor of GDP. We provide evidence linking this increasing connectedness between banks and the macroeconomy to secular increases in financial and macroeconomic leverage. Call for Papers: Global Economic Networks (GEN) Workshop Global Economic Networks (GEN) Workshop Hamburg Thu-Fri, July 7-8, 2022 Organizers: Peter Eppinger (Tübingen), Bohdan Kukharskyy (CUNY) Keynote Speakers: Pol Antràs (Harvard), Vasco Carvalho (Cambridge) This workshop aims at bringing together scholars interested in international trade, multinational firms, and global supply chains, with a particular focus on network aspects of the global economy. The workshop will take place in a seminar room inside the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg's new landmark, with a stunning view of the harbor. We are committed to holding the workshop in person, subject to the hygiene measures applicable in July. Should an in-person turn out to be infeasible due to the pandemic, the workshop will be rescheduled to a later date. Please submit complete papers in pdf format to GlobalEconNetworks(a)gmail.com<mailto:GlobalEconNetworks@gmail.com> by Monday, March 21, 2022. Participants will be notified in April. We invite submissions from young scholars and aim for an international and diverse group. Interdisciplinary work is particularly welcome. The event will encompass a luncheon with policy makers and business practitioners to enable an exchange of ideas on current issues in international trade and supply chains. The workshop is generously funded by the Joachim Herz Foundation, a charitable, science and education-promoting foundation based in Hamburg. Participants will be provided with accommodation in close proximity to the venue and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt. Airfares for speakers can be covered in exceptional cases. In case you require travel funding, please indicate this with your submission.
