OeNB | Invitation | Global Economy Lecture

12 Oct '21

[https://files.oenb-events.com/108-76a7902cc19697206fa89b68fc86f7bc.jpg] INVITATION ________________________________ Dear Sir or Madam, We have the pleasure of inviting you to the Global Economy Lecture on Viewing the future from the population-consumption-environment nexus Speaker Partha Dasgupta Emeritus Professor University of Cambridge Introduction Robert Holzmann Governor Oesterreichische Nationalbank Chair Robert Stehrer Scientific Director The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) Date and time Wednesday, November 3, 2021, 4:00 p.m. (CET) Venue Online event via WebEx Speaker biography This year’s Global Economy Lecture will be given by Partha Dasgupta, Emeritus Professor at the University of Cambridge. Partha Dasgupta’s research interests include the economics of poverty and nutrition and environmental economics. Recently he published “The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review,” an independent, global review on the economics of biodiversity that was submitted to the UK Treasury in February 2021. Abstract It has now become customary to view humanity’s overreach on the biosphere through the twin lenses of climate change and biodiversity loss. An enormous body of literature, emanating not only from governments, but also academia, NGOs and international organizations, has studied ways to eliminate the gap that now exists between what we demand from Nature and Nature’s ability to meet that demand on a sustainable basis. These studies advocate three sets of changes to our behavior: (1) Shift our consumption and investment activities toward those that make fewer demands on Nature’s goods and services. (2) Invest in Nature to raise Nature’s ability to supply those goods and services. (3) Invest in technologies (e.g., clean energy) that enable us to transform Nature’s goods and services into final products more efficiently. The studies have thus been framed from the perspectives of what may be called the consumption-environment nexus. Unfortunately, even though population is also a factor in climate change and biodiversity loss, its role in our overreach on the biosphere remains missing in discussions. “The Economics of Biodiversity: The Dasgupta Review” is the first comprehensive study to have reminded us that the size and distribution of the human population is as salient a factor in humanity’s demand overreach as the character of our consumption and investment activities. The study has shown that the correct frame of reference for understanding the processes that have led to the overreach is the population-consumption-environment nexus. As illustration the Dasgupta Review has pointed to high population growth rates in some of the world’s poorest regions as being of especial concern for the future prospect of people in those very regions. The Global Economy Lecture is jointly organized by the Oesterreichische Nationalbank and The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw). We kindly ask you to register by e-mail under event-management(a)oenb.at<mailto:event-management@oenb.at>. Those who register will receive a WebEx Meeting link. We look forward to your participation!

Approach: Empirical estimation using OLS, Panel-Data-, and Instrumental Variable Regression. Data: Country-industry level data on robot adoption from the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) merged with EU-Klems-data on productivity, prices and labor market outcomes. Main result(s): Restricting the estimation sample to sectors which actually experience relevant changes in robotization (i.e. removing non-robotizing sectors) leads to (i) a reduction in the size of the estimated productivity effects, (ii) no significant effect on prices, and (iii) drastically changes the estimated employment and wage effects.

ECON Theory and Policy talk, NOV. - Christian Glocker
by Hutter, Julia 07 Oct '21

Dear all, we would like to invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk in November: Fri, November 12th, 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. (Seminarroom DB04 Freihaus building, yellow area) Nontradable Goods and Fiscal Multipliers Christian Glocker (WIFO)<https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wifo.ac.at%2Fchristian_glock…> https://www.wifo.ac.at/christian_glocker We assess the role that nontradable goods playas a determinant of fiscal spending multipliers, making use of a two-sector model. While fiscal multipliers increase with the share of nontradable goods, an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between multiplier size and the import share. Employing an interacted panel VAR model for EU countries, we estimate the effect of the share of nontradable goods on fiscal spending multipliers. Our empirical results provide strong evidence for the predictions of the theoretical model. They imply that the drag of fiscal consolidations is on average smaller in countries with a low share of nontradable goods. Due to the available room capacities, we ask you to register by sending a short mail to julia.hutter(a)tuwien.ac.at<mailto:julia.hutter@tuwien.ac.at>.

Sprache: Englisch Description: The investment income balance has become an important component of current account imbalances – magnitudes above 5% of GDP are not uncommon in major economies. This paper investigates trends, dynamics, and potential determinants of cross-border investment income flows. The essential question I explore in this paper is whether those investment income imbalances can become a substantial problem for countries in the Eurozone, which lacks the exchange rate as an adjustment mechanism for such imbalances. I find no evidence for a particularly persistent or divergent pattern of imbalances in Euro area countries. However, investment incomes behave fundamentally different from other current account components and a negative association between the two is found exclusively for Euro area countries. This calls for a much more differentiated perspective on the current account in academic analysis and policy.

Sprache: Englisch Description: The presentation is based on a paper<https://www.uni-bamberg.de/fileadmin/uni/fakultaeten/sowi_faecher/vwl/BERG/…> co-authored with Philipp Mundt, Uwe Cantner, Hiroyasu Inoue, and Ivan Savin. The idea that market selection promotes survival and expansion of the “ﬁttest” producers is a key principle underlying theories of competition. Yet, despite its intuitive appeal, the hypothesis that companies with superior productivity also exhibit higher growth lacks empirical support. One reason for this is that companies are not “islands” that produce goods and services in isolation but depend on their suppliers in value chains, implying that excessive growth can also originate in the superior productive performance of these value-chain partners. Neglecting these dependencies in empirical tests of the selection hypothesis leads to measurement errors and may impair the identiﬁcation of competition for the market. In this paper, we use data from the World Input-Output Database to capture these global value-chain relationships in an empirical test for market selection, studying competition between country-sectors for a global market share in diﬀerent economic activities. Compared to the conventional view that focuses on individual productivities, our value-chain perspective on the productivity-growth nexus provides stronger empirical support for market selection. This suggests that the scope of selection reaches beyond the level of individual producers and requires a systemic analysis of production networks. Our ﬁndings contribute to a better understanding of the determinants of selection in competitive environments and also represent a novel application of global value-chain data.

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).

Sprache: 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). We are looking forward to your participation in the events. Kind regards Alexander Hudetz and Birgit Buschbom FIW Project Office It is not our philosophy to send you unwanted e-mails.
