Shapiro Einladung zum Seminar in International Economics: Empirical Productivity Distributions and International Trade (Online event) Empirical Productivity Distributions and International Trade (Online event) Vortragende: Katharina Erhardt, Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf Zeit: Donnerstag, 02. Dezember 2021, 15:00 Uhr Registrierungslink: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_sKfBPEuoS_yyG3Ng3Pcybg Der Einwahllink wird Ihnen unmittelbar nach der Registrierung zugeschickt. Sprache: Englisch Description: The presentation is based on a paper<https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3674949> co-authored with Peter H. Egger and Sergey Nigai. We develop a novel theory-consistent methodology that allows us to recover nonparametric firm-level productivity distributions for 15 countries and 18 sectors using data on aggregated firm-level sales. We use these distributions against the backdrop of a multi-sector version of a standard Melitz (2003) trade model to quantify the role of technology in shaping international trade flows. We find that, on average, absolute advantage measured as productivity differences across countries within sectors explains 14% of the total variation in bilateral trade shares. In contrast, on average, comparative advantage measured as productivity differences across sectors within countries explains 43% of the variation in trade flows in the workhorse model. We also demonstrate that empirical productivity distributions entail quantitatively important micro-to-macro implications for marginal responses of trade flows to changes in trade costs, for gravity-type estimation of trade models, and for comparative statics isomorphism between the customarily parameterized models of international trade. We confirm the theoretical predictions derived under empirical productivity distributions in the data.

Speakers Roberto Motto and Wolfgang Lemke (ECB), Stefan Gerlach (EFG Bank), Sarah Holton (formerly Central Bank of Ireland; ECB) and Peter Praet (former ECB Executive Board Member), moderated by Ernest Gnan (OeNB and SUERF). [cid:image001.jpg@01D7E122.FC9FFCC0]<https://global.oup.com/academic/product/monetary-policy-in-times-of-crisis-…>Outline The presentation will cover the new book by Rostagno, Altavilla, Carboni, Motto, Saint-Guilhem and Yiangou (Oxford University Press) that reviews the ECB’s monetary policy since 1999. It is a blend of narrative and selected in-depth analytics that intends to help readers obtain an insight into decision making in real time and staff’s analytical preparations of Governing Council decisions through the years. The material covered in the book has been one of the inputs into the just-concluded ECB’s strategy review. The first part of the presentation will give an overview of the book; the second part would zoom in on Chapter 3 “Strategy in Action” and focus on the trade-off created by the 1998 and 2003 ECB’s strategy, in which the policy aim was close to the price stability ceiling; the third part would focus on the instrument impact analysis of Chapter 6 “A Combined-Arms Strategy” and its extensions based on a new paper by the authors. Stefan Gerlach (EFG Bank), Sarah Holton (Central Bank of Ireland) and Peter Praet (former ECB Executive Board Member I SUERF Honorary Member) will discuss. Join us for the book presentation by registering under the following LINK<https://www.suerf.org/webinars/2141/monetary-policy-in-times-of-crisis-a-ta…>. We look forward to your participation!

Dear colleagues, Please find attached the reminder of our International Seminar. Best regards, Von: European Centre Event Notification <events(a)euro.centre.org> Gesendet: Montag, 22. November 2021 12:11 An: Monika Hunjadi <hunjadi(a)euro.centre.org> Betreff: Reminder! 25/11/21 International Seminar - online only: Yuri Kazepov - The challenges of school-to-work transitions View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/44d625f8e6b4/251121-international-seminar-yuri-kazepov-t…> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/6593cb7ae91f79f221ee647ae/images/0033b868-694…]<https://centre.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6593cb7ae91f79f221ee647ae&…> Event notification The challenges of school-to-work transitions A meso bricolage approach to opportunity structures and territorial inequalities International Seminar - ONLINE ONLY! Thu., 25/11/21, 12:00- 13:30 CET Speaker: Yuri Kazepov Please register <https://centre.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6593cb7ae91f79f221ee647ae&…> until 24h before the seminar takes place! The presentation aims at clarifying how school-to-work transitions might be addressed considering different types of complementarities and the related structuring process they exert on youth. The “bricolage” approach, highlights what are the main dimensions influencing the process and the challenges to be addressed. It also will show how educational systems, labour market regimes and other contextual dimensions are linked and produce differentiated opportunity structures. These might be producing or (re)producing inequalities and might require context-sensitive policies to break the vicious circles. The social investment perspective highlighting the importance of educational investments will be a fil-rouge of the presentation.

Re: [NOeG-l] WU Economic Research Seminar, 24.11.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Josef Falkinger (University of Zurich)

Dear colleagues, we need to move Wednesday's research seminar online. Please find below the zoom-link to attend the presentation: https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/94542222885?pwd=M25CanJKTmtnS003RHdBUVhOVWVIUT09. All the best Harald Oberhofer Von: Oberhofer, Harald Gesendet: Mittwoch, 17. November 2021 08:45 An: 'noeg-l(a)wu.ac.at' <noeg-l(a)wu.ac.at> Betreff: WU Economic Research Seminar, 24.11.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Josef Falkinger (University of Zurich) Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar on Wednesday, November 24th, with Josef Falkinger (University of Zurich) on "On the future of economics" Abstract: In this lecture I am looking back on economics and ask myself: What would I see if I could look back in fifty years or so? As methodological approach I take the view that in historical perspective a science is successful if it helps to understand and to deal with the problems of the time. >From this vantage point the current state of economics is compared with the state of economic reality. History is partly a made object which on the one side follows drivers beyond human control and on the other side is also shaped by what we think and do. This applies in particular to the history of economic reality and its scientific investigation. The lecture outlines two scenarios for the future history of economics: a more fatalistic one in which unregulated economic evolution is the dominating frame; and a more proactive one with progressing work on new fundamental problems. Date: Wednesday, November 24th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.039 The following COVID-19-related regulations apply to all events at the WU campus need to be fulfilled for attending the research seminar: 2.5G proof and controls * You should only attend classroom units if you are not ill. * To participate in presence units, you have to show a 2.5G certificate (PCR-Tested, Vaccinated, Convalescent) upon request.

Our empirical analysis combines data on the industry-level stock of industrial robots with firms' balance sheet data for six European countries from 2004 to 2013. We find that robots disproportionally raise productivity in those firms that are already most productive to begin with. Those firms are able to increase their markups and overall profits, while they tend to decline for less profitable firms within the same industry, country and year. We also show that robots contribute to the falling aggregate labor income share through a rising concentration of industry sales in highly productive firms with low firm-specific labor shares. In sum, our paper suggests that robots boost the emergence of superstar firms within European manufacturing, and thereby shifts the functional income distribution away from wages and towards profits.

WIC online Colloquium - 23.11.2021, 11.00-12.00 CET, Alina Schmitz
by Simunics, Barbara 17 Nov '21

WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Alina Schmitz, TU Dortmund Gendered Experiences of Widowhood and Depression Across Europe: The Role of Loneliness and Financial Resources from a Longitudinal Perspective Tuesday, November 23rd, 2021 11:00-12:00 (CET) 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 the day before the presentation. Abstract Numerous studies document the detrimental consequences of widowhood on mental health. Yet widowhood is - especially for women - a central experience of ageing so that it has been questioned whether women adapt to widowhood more easily. Previous research has provided mixed answers, reflecting both methodological and substantive issues, such as differences in statistical modeling and study samples. Furthermore, prior research largely ignores the societal context, although the social consequences of widowhood may vary according to macrosocial conditions. Thus, the mental health consequences of widowhood may both be gendered and context - specific. Based on longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), this study analyses the gendered experiences of widowhood and depressive symptoms in four European regions. A special focus lies on the contribution of loneliness and reduced financial resources to the detrimental effect of widowhood on mental health.

WU Economic Research Seminar, 24.11.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Josef Falkinger (University of Zurich)
by Oberhofer, Harald 17 Nov '21

17 Nov '21

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar on Wednesday, November 24th, with Josef Falkinger (University of Zurich) on "On the future of economics" Abstract: In this lecture I am looking back on economics and ask myself: What would I see if I could look back in fifty years or so? As methodological approach I take the view that in historical perspective a science is successful if it helps to understand and to deal with the problems of the time. >From this vantage point the current state of economics is compared with the state of economic reality. History is partly a made object which on the one side follows drivers beyond human control and on the other side is also shaped by what we think and do. This applies in particular to the history of economic reality and its scientific investigation. The lecture outlines two scenarios for the future history of economics: a more fatalistic one in which unregulated economic evolution is the dominating frame; and a more proactive one with progressing work on new fundamental problems. Date: Wednesday, November 24th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room D4.0.039 The following COVID-19-related regulations apply to all events at the WU campus need to be fulfilled for attending the research seminar: 2.5G proof and controls * You should only attend classroom units if you are not ill. * To participate in presence units, you have to show a 2.5G certificate (PCR-Tested, Vaccinated, Convalescent) upon request.

INVITATION: Conference on European Economic Integration (CEEI) 2021, 22 November 2021

View this email in your browser [https://wiiw.ac.at/files/mailings/event-202111111222-en.html] _On behalf of _ [Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB)] [http://www.oenb.at/] Dear Sir or Madam, On behalf of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) and the European Investment Bank (EIB) we invite you to the CONFERENCE ON EUROPEAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION (CEEI) 2021 RECALIBRATING TOMORROW'S GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS – PROSPECTS FOR CESEE MONDAY, 22 - 23 NOVEMBER 2021 Hybrid event: Oesterreichische Nationalbank (Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Vienna) & Webex Over the past three decades, the world economy was transformed by global value chains (GVCs), which proved an engine of economic growth and development. Deep integration into GVCs also benefited Central, Eastern and Southeastern European (CESEE) economies. In recent years, the pace of GVC integration seems to have lost some steam, however. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has been yet another wake-up call highlighting the risks and benefits of increasing interconnectedness. Putting the spotlight on the CESEE region, the CEEI 2021 sets out to explore the following questions: * In times of crisis, does deep GVC integration amplify, or mitigate, swings in economic activity? * What should policymakers and businesses do to achieve and sustain a recovery and make GVCs more resilient? * What can we expect from structural shifts, such as the digital transformation of economies and the greening of production? The Conference is organized by the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) in cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB). The organisers will bring together high-ranking representatives from central banks, international organizations, industry and academia for two afternoons of insightful presentations and thought-provoking discussions. DATES AND TIMES Monday, November 22: 1:00 pm – 5:30 pm (CET) Dinner speech: 7:00 pm (CET) Tuesday, November 23: 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm (CET) CONFERENCE AGENDA The FULL CONFERENCE AGENDA can be found here [https://www.oenb.at/en/Calendar/2021/2021-11-22-ceei.html] REGISTRATION Join us for this year's CEEI by REGISTERING UNDER EVENT-MANAGEMENT(a)OENB.AT BY NOVEMBER 15, 2021, at the latest.
