[https://files.oenb-events.com/108-6706c461ce95fe47cbf7f7715426dff0.jpg] INVITATION ________________________________ Dear Sir or Madam, We have the pleasure of inviting you to the Conference on European Economic Integration (CEEI) 2021, which the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) will host in cooperation with the European Investment Bank (EIB) on November 22 and 23, 2021. This year’s conference will focus on “Recalibrating tomorrow's global value chains – prospects for CESEE.” 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? In pursuit of answers, the OeNB, in cooperation with the EIB, 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 p.m.–5:30 p.m. (CET) Dinner speech: 7:00 p.m. (CET) Tuesday, November 23: 1:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m. (CET) Venue Oesterreichische Nationalbank Otto-Wagner-Platz 3 1090 Vienna, Austria or Online via Webex Conference language English Join us for this year's CEEI by registering under event-management(a)oenb.at<mailto:event-management@oenb.at> by November 15, 2021, at the latest. Please indicate whether you wish to attend the conference in person or online. A full pdf agenda of the two days can be found here<https://www.oenb.at/en/Calendar/2021/2021-11-22-ceei.html>.

CALL FOR PAPERS for a Special Issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research (VYPR) on “The causes and consequences of depopulation”
by VID, conference 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, The Vienna Yearbook of Population Research (VYPR) is seeking submissions for a Special Issue entitled “The causes and consequences of depopulation” which will be guest edited by (in alphabetical order) Zuzanna Brzozowska, Stuart Gietel-Basten, Michael Herrmann, Klaus Prettner and Ekaterina Zhelenkova. Examples of topics include: * What are differential drivers of population decline? * What are the long-term consequences of population decline for economic growth and investment, the sustainability of social security systems and governments’ budgets, and the maintenance of public infrastructure and services? * Are there differences in the economic consequences of population decline when the decline is driven by low fertility or by outward migration? * Are declining populations less innovative? * What is the impact of population decline on inequality and equal life chances? * How might (the fear of) depopulation be linked to perceived threats to culture and identity? * How to include potential demographic, social, economic, and environmental feedback effects into models of depopulation? * Which policies could mitigate the challenges associated with population decline? * Might population decline be something desirable, e.g., from an environmental perspective? The call is open until 31 March 2022. The VYPR is a platinum open-access journal that has been published annually by the Vienna Institute of Demography (VID) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences since 2003. It is addressing population trends as well as a broad range of theoretical and methodological issues in population research. Article submission, processing, and publication are free of charge. The journal is circulated in print and online with all articles freely available for download on the VID website and included in the JSTOR database. Articles are going to be published in two steps: online first, as soon as the reviewing process for each contribution is finalised, and subsequently in the printed journal. Please find detailed information on the Call for Papers as well as on the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research attached or online here<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/en/vid/publications/serial-publications/vienna-yearb…>.

WU Economic Research Seminar, 3.11.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Oliver Himmler (University of Erfurt)
by Oberhofer, Harald 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar on Wednesday, November 3rd, with Oliver Himmler (University of Erfurt) on "Low-touch interventions to improve academic performance in higher education -- evidence from two long-run field experiments" Abstract: Low-touch behavioral interventions can affect even notoriously hard to move outcomes, such as academic performance. However, the evidence is mostly short-term and it remains unclear whether such effects translate into long-run gains on policy relevant domains. We report results from two field experiments in higher education, offering a commitment device, and relative performance feedback. After 5+ years, we find that the interventions have positively affected graduation rates and lowered time to degree in the full sample. Heterogeneity analysis suggests that: (i) the effects of commitment are stronger for procrastinators, and (ii) the effects of feedback are concentrated among students who received favorable feedback. Behavioral interventions may therefore constitute an attractive complement to more traditional policy measures in education. Given the strong heterogeneity in effectiveness, however, they need to be carefully chosen and targeted. Date: Wednesday, November 3rd 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.

Abstract: Rückverlagerungen sind Verlagerungen von Produktionsaktivitäten (oder Teilen davon) aus dem Ausland in das Herkunftsland des Unternehmens. Das Thema taucht aus verschiedenen Gründen derzeit vermehrt in der öffentlichen Diskussion auf: einerseits leiden Unternehmen unter Lieferverzögerungen und anderen Nachteilen zu langer Lieferketten. Die Covid-19-Krise hat diese Anfälligkeit besonders deutlich gezeigt. Zum anderen verbinden sich mit Rückverlagerungen die Hoffnung, Arbeitsplätze aus dem Ausland "zurückzuholen". Die präsentierten Daten zeigen, dass Rückverlagerungen im Gegensatz zur öffentlichen Wahrnehmung noch selten sind. Sie sind kein wirtschaftspolitisches Allheilmittel, um Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen und die Belastbarkeit internationaler Zuliefernetzwerke zu erhöhen, können der österreichischen Industrie in Zukunft allerdings positive Impulse geben. Deshalb sollte die Politik rückkehrwillige Unternehmen unterstützen. Die Förderung von Rückverlagerungen sollte allerdings kein Selbstzweck sein. Vielmehr könnte sich eine Strategie der industriellen Modernisierung als erfolgreich erweisen, die neben Investitionen in moderne Produktionstechnologien auch Ausbildung und Innovation fördert und so die Attraktivität des Standorts verbessert. Als Nebeneffekt könnte eine solche Strategie dazu beitragen, Rückverlagerungen attraktiver zu machen.

The main objective of the conference is to provide a platform for economists working in the field of 'International Economics' to present recent research. Papers from Ph.D. students, young faculty members and young researchers in similar positions are particularly welcome as the conference aims to support and encourage young economists by providing an opportunity to present their work to fellow junior economists as well as experienced senior researchers. The conference also aims at bringing together researchers and policy makers to provide a forum for a discussion on how empirical evidence can more effectively inform actual economic policy making. TIME & LOCATION The 14th FIW Research Conference on 'International Economics' will take place online on Thursday, 24th February 2022 and Friday, 25thFebruary 2022 at the Vienna University of Economics & Business (WU), Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria. FIW conferences have always been about informal, as well as formal, interactions amongst participants. It was unfortunate that we had to host the conference in 2021 as an online event due to the pandemic. Given the current situation in Austria, we expect that the 14th FIW-Conference will run face-to-face in Vienna. If necessary, the FIW-team will try its best to make online-participation (i.e., present papers and attend selected sessions) possible. Guidelines on required safety-measures for participants will be communicated as soon as possible. PAPER SUBMISSION We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics in the field of International Economics. Please submit your working papers via https://conference2022.fiw.ac.at/ until 5th November 2021. Last-Reminder: Einladung zum Seminar in International Economics: Climate Change and Internal Migration: Evidence from Global Census Data (Online event) Climate Change and Internal Migration: Evidence from Global Census Data (Online event) Vortragender: Roman Hoffmann, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis Zeit: Donnerstag, 4.

Sprache: Englisch Description: In this paper, we provide a systematic comparative analysis of climate-induced internal migration across 69 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean based on the micro census data supplied by the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) International over the period 1960-2015. Using the data from 188 censuses, we construct a longitudinal database at the sub-national regional level (Geo 1 census regions) with information on bilateral migration flows between the regions. Migration is estimated based on information on the previous residence of the census participants five or ten years prior to the respective census date (Garcia et al. 2015). In total, the data contains information on internal migration from 1600 census regions allowing us to estimate approximately 98000 bilateral migration flows. We use gravity-type fixed effects models to estimate internal migration flows induced by temperature and rainfall anomalies as well as drought taking into account both socioeconomic and climate drivers at the origin and destination. All models control for both region of origin as well as destination fixed effects and common time trends. We find a sizeable impact of negative precipitation anomalies, as well as weaker but significant impacts of heat anomalies and droughts on migration. Our findings furthermore suggest that also climatic conditions in destination regions influence migration flows to those regions. Fitting a series of spatial interaction models for different world regions, we find long-term heat stress increases out-migration in Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean while internal migration flows decline in Africa as the frequency of dry years increase. For the latter, the vulnerable subgroups of population may be 'trapped' in the place with unfavorable climatic conditions since they do not have necessary resources to facilitate outmigration (Black et al. 2013).

Abstract: Relocations are shifts of production activities (or parts thereof) from abroad to the company's country of origin. The topic is currently increasingly surfacing in the public debate for various reasons: on the one hand, firms suffer from delivery delays and other disadvantages of too long supply chains. The Covid 19 crisis has shown this vulnerability particularly clearly. On the other hand, relocations are associated with the hope of "bringing back" jobs from abroad. The data presented show that, contrary to public perception, relocations are still rare. They are not a panacea for economic policy to create jobs and increase the resilience of international supply networks, but they can provide positive impulses for Austrian industry in the future. Therefore, policy should support companies willing to return. However, promoting relocation should not be an end in itself. Rather, a strategy of industrial modernization could prove successful, which, in addition to investments in modern production technologies, also promotes training and innovation and thus improves the attractiveness of the location. As a side effect, such a strategy could help make relocations more attractive.

The main objective of the conference is to provide a platform for economists working in the field of 'International Economics' to present recent research. Papers from Ph.D. students, young faculty members and young researchers in similar positions are particularly welcome as the conference aims to support and encourage young economists by providing an opportunity to present their work to fellow junior economists as well as experienced senior researchers. The conference also aims at bringing together researchers and policy makers to provide a forum for a discussion on how empirical evidence can more effectively inform actual economic policy making. TIME & LOCATION The 14th FIW Research Conference on 'International Economics' will take place online on Thursday, 24th February 2022 and Friday, 25thFebruary 2022 at the Vienna University of Economics & Business (WU), Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria. FIW conferences have always been about informal, as well as formal, interactions amongst participants. It was unfortunate that we had to host the conference in 2021 as an online event due to the pandemic. Given the current situation in Austria, we expect that the 14th FIW-Conference will run face-to-face in Vienna. If necessary, the FIW-team will try its best to make online-participation (i.e., present papers and attend selected sessions) possible. Guidelines on required safety-measures for participants will be communicated as soon as possible. PAPER SUBMISSION We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics in the field of International Economics. Please submit your working papers via https://conference2022.fiw.ac.at/ until 5th November 2021. Last-Reminder: Einladung zum Seminar in International Economics: Climate Change and Internal Migration: Evidence from Global Census Data (Online event) Climate Change and Internal Migration: Evidence from Global Census Data (Online event) Speaker : Roman Hoffmann, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis Time: Donnerstag, 4. November 2021, 15:00 Uhr Registrationlink: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_vwvjGbVJTTC72Kd8w32jIw Language: English Description: In this paper, we provide a systematic comparative analysis of climate-induced internal migration across 69 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean based on the micro census data supplied by the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) International over the period 1960-2015. Using the data from 188 censuses, we construct a longitudinal database at the sub-national regional level (Geo 1 census regions) with information on bilateral migration flows between the regions. Migration is estimated based on information on the previous residence of the census participants five or ten years prior to the respective census date (Garcia et al. 2015). In total, the data contains information on internal migration from 1600 census regions allowing us to estimate approximately 98000 bilateral migration flows. We use gravity-type fixed effects models to estimate internal migration flows induced by temperature and rainfall anomalies as well as drought taking into account both socioeconomic and climate drivers at the origin and destination. All models control for both region of origin as well as destination fixed effects and common time trends. We find a sizeable impact of negative precipitation anomalies, as well as weaker but significant impacts of heat anomalies and droughts on migration. Our findings furthermore suggest that also climatic conditions in destination regions influence migration flows to those regions. Fitting a series of spatial interaction models for different world regions, we find long-term heat stress increases out-migration in Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean while internal migration flows decline in Africa as the frequency of dry years increase. For the latter, the vulnerable subgroups of population may be 'trapped' in the place with unfavorable climatic conditions since they do not have necessary resources to facilitate outmigration (Black et al. 2013).

Reminder: Economic Theory and Policy Seminar, B. Hochmuth - OCT 29
by Hutter, Julia 25 Oct '21

25 Oct '21

REMINDER: Dear all, the first Economic Theory and Policy Seminar talk will take place on Friday, October 29th, 1:00-2:30 p.m. (Seminarroom DB04 Freihaus building, yellow area): Financial Constraints, Firm Age, and the Labor Market Brigitte Hochmuth (Universität Wien) https://sites.google.com/view/brigittehochmuth/home This paper shows that credit crunches cause labor market effects that are nonlinear over time and heterogeneous by firm age. During the Great Financial Crisis, a credit supply shock caused young firms to reduce employment significantly more than old firms, because the housing bust in 2006 led to a decline in young firms’ housing collateral and restricted their ability to borrow. To understand the underlying mechanism, I propose a financial frictions model with an explicit firm age structure. A simultaneous credit crunch and a decline in young firms’ net worth can reconcile the model with my empirical results. While old firms switch to equity financing, young firms depend on debt financing and cut labor demand. As young firms disproportionately account for aggregate job growth, my findings explain the sluggish labor market recovery after the Great Financial Crisis. A counterfactual experiment shows that absent the net worth shock, the U.S. unemployment rate would have been back to its pre-crisis level two years sooner.
