MPFS Lecture by Frank Smets (BIS) on Fiscal Stability in a Changing Global Financial System, Jan 23
by gschaef 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

LECTURE SERIES: MONETARY POLICY AND THE FINANCIAL SECTOR (MPFS) You are cordially invited to the following public lecture: “Fiscal Sustainability in a Changing Global Financial System“ Frank SMETS Head of Economic Analysis and Statistics and Deputy Head of the Monetary and Economic Department, Bank for International Settlements, Basel Time: Friday, January 23, 2026, 10:30-12:00 a.m. Location: Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Welthandelsplatz 1, Clubraum, LC.2.400 (Learning Center/Library Building, 2nd floor, above the entrance area to the library, opposite the Study Service Center) Sovereign debt levels have increased considerably since the Great Financial Crisis, reaching historical post-World War II highs in many advanced economies. This has been accompanied by a growing presence of non-bank financial institutions in sovereign bond markets. This combination generates new financial stability challenges, which have both domestic and international aspects. Policymakers should address these challenges by employing a carefully selected mix of tools that spans fiscal, monetary and prudential policy. Frank Smets, being one of the creators of the famous Smets-Wouters macroeconomic model, is an internationally leading expert on monetary policy. He joined the BIS in December 2024 from the ECB, where he previously was Director General of Economics and Director General of Research. He was also in charge of conducting the ECB’s Strategy Review 2021. Mr. Smets holds a PhD in economics from Yale University. The public lecture is jointly organized by Aurel Schubert, Honorary Professor at WU Vienna and former Director General Statistics, ECB and by Guido Schäfer, Department of Economics, WU Vienna. ------------ Guido Schäfer Department of Economics, WU Vienna Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria Tel.: + 431 31336 4579 Email: Guido.Schaefer(a)wu.ac.at

IHS Research Talk: Nan Zhang -Studying Inter-Ethnic Relations Using Administrative Data
by IHS Event 15 Jan '26

15 Jan '26

[https://7i0di.img.sp1-brevo.net/im/sh/1Q84xBOVdeSl.png?u=1vcqsYC5HMzcSL9jEr…] IHS Research Talk Nan Zhang (University of Mannheim) Studying Inter-ethnic Relations using Administrative Data January 26, 2026 3:30 pm - 4:30 pm Institute for Advanced Studies Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna Lecture Room E02 Abstract For decades, scientific surveys have served as "workhorse methods" in the social sciences. When studying inter-ethnic relations, however, survey methods are fundamentally constrained due to difficulties in sampling minority populations and potential response biases. As an alternative, this talk argues for using administrative data to study relations between ethnic groups. These data offer advantages in terms of their size and longitudinal coverage. However, since they were not designed with our specific research questions in mind, conceptual validity remains a challenge. We illustrate these issues via examples from our recent work on (i) military service and immigrant integration, (ii) cultural responses to terrorist attacks, and (iii) childhood exposure to ethnic outgroups and subsequent marriage decisions. Speaker Nan Zhang is an Interim Professor ("Vertretungsprofessor") of Evidence-based Political Research at the University of Mannheim, where he also leads the Emmy-Noether research group Making Diversity Work at the Mannheim Centre for European Social Research (MZES). His work spans both Political Science and Sociology, with a focus on the study of group relations, language and identity, social norms, and civic behavior. Major applications include research on immigration, ethnic diversity, and state- and nation-building. His work has been published in the American Political Science Review, the American Journal of Political Science, the Journal of Politics, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), the American Journal of Sociology, the European Sociological Review, and Sociological Science, amongst other outlets. He holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Stanford University and has held prior positions at the Max Planck Institute for Research on Collective Goods and the European University Institute.

[INEQ Research Seminar] Anna Schwarz (CEU/INEQ), January 19: Digitalization and the Future of Work: Vocational Education in Times of Technological Change
by Disslbacher, Franziska 14 Jan '26

14 Jan '26

Dear colleagues, We hereby invite you to join our next Economics of Inequality Research Seminar<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/outreach/ineq-research-seminar> at WU Vienna. Anna Schwarz<https://sites.google.com/view/anna-schwarz/home?authuser=0> (CEU/INEQ) will present the paper Digitalization and the Future of Work: Vocational Education in Times of Technological Change. Date and Time: Monday, January 19; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, TC – TC.4.15<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=TC.4.15>. Abstract This paper examines how digital technological change affects labor market outcomes in an economy with a large vocational education and training (VET) system, using Austria as a case study. We combine Austrian administrative data with firm-level investment records and a novel sectoral measure of exposure to emerging digital technologies based on global patent activity. Using a shift–share design across Austrian labor market districts from 2012 to 2019, we estimate the impact of digitalization on employment and earnings. We find small but negative average effects of digital technology exposure on employment and income. These effects are driven by workers with low and higher education, while vocationally trained workers are largely unaffected. This pattern holds across genders, sectors, and fields of study, indicating that vocational education shields workers from the adverse effects of technological change.

Population Momentum from Migration Josh Goldstein, University of California, Berkeley Abstract: The study of population momentum has focused on changing birth rates, but it is also possible to reach a stationary population through migration. In this talk, I'll show the momentum implied by a change in migration regimes. I will investigate the eventual stationary population size implied by migration-change as opposed to fertility-change, and the differences in age-structure. A simple model is used which has two key simplifying assumptions: (1) all migrants enter (or leave) at the same age, an age that is prior to childbearing and (2) the number of migrants who enter (or leave) is a constant proportional to the current population size. According to this model, stationary-through migration populations will be closer to their original pre-transition size (have less momentum) than stationary-through-fertility populations and will have an age structure that has less dependency. We can discuss the realism of this model and its potential applicability to the contemporary world. About the presenter: Josh Goldstein is Chancellor's Professor of Demography at the University of California, Berkeley. He received his PhD from Berkeley and has held positions at Princeton and MPIDR. His research interests include formal demography, mortality, fertility and historical demography. ********************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA **********************************************************************************

07 Jan '26

Call for Abstracts Ninth ATHEA Conference for Health Economics “Equality in Times of Economic Slowdown” Vienna, February 26th and 27th 2026 Across Europe and beyond, fiscal pressures are compelling difficult choices in health care. This year’s conference theme explores how equality and fair access can be safeguarded despite prolonged budget constraints. What principles, evidence and policy approaches can guide the allocation of scarce resources without exacerbating inequalities in, for example, waiting times, coverage or out-of-pocket spending? We will host a thematic stream on equity under such adverse conditions and are pleased to announce our invited keynote speaker: Sarah Thomson (WHO/Europe, Barcelona Office for Health Systems Financing). In addition, a policy workshop will be hosted by Stefan Eichwalder (Austrian Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, Health, Care and Consumer Protection). As in previous years, submissions are welcome from all areas of health economics and health policy, including long-term care, and need not be limited to the conference theme. Empirical, theoretical and policy-oriented contributions from Austria and neighboring countries are particularly encouraged. Deadline abstract submission (max. 500 words): EXTENDED TO January 9th, 2026 via the <https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/N1T0YsQ4PQ> ATHEA Conference Abstract Submission Portal Notification of acceptance: January 30th, 2026 Conference venue: Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS), Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna, Austria Conference languages: English, German Conference fee: 115 Euro ___________________________________________ Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) Josefstädter Straße 39 ● 1080 Wien web: <http://www.athea.at/> www.athea.at ● e-mail: <mailto:athea@athea.at> athea(a)athea.at

WU Research Seminar in Economics - Kai Carstensen - January 7, 4.30 pm
by Oberhofer, Harald 29 Dec '25

29 Dec '25

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Research Seminar in Economics on Wednesday, January 7th, with Kai Carstensen (https://www.stat-econ.uni-kiel.de/en/team/prof-dr-kai-carstensen?set_langua…) presenting: " Nowcasting consumer price inflation using high-frequency scanner data: evidence from Germany". Abstract: We study how millions of granular and weekly household scanner data combined with machine learning can help to improve the real-time nowcast of German inflation. Our nowcasting exercise targets three hierarchy levels of inflation: individual products, product groups, and headline inflation. At the individual product level, we construct a large set of weekly scanner-based price indices that closely match their official counterparts, such as butter and coffee beans. Within a mixed-frequency setup, these indices significantly improve inflation nowcasts already after the first seven days of a month. For nowcasting product groups such as processed and unprocessed food, we apply shrinkage estimators to exploit the large set of scanner-based price indices, resulting in substantial predictive gains over autoregressive time series models. Finally, by adding high-frequency information on energy and travel services, we construct competitive nowcasting models for headline inflation that are on par with, or even outperform, survey-based inflation expectations. * Date: Wednesday, January 7th * Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) * Location: building D4, entrance A, ground floor, D4.0.133<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.133> 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 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wu.ac.at> https://www.wu.ac.at/en/economics/people/oberhofer-h Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) Phone: +43/1/7982601-468 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer
