JKU economics research seminar 23.6.2021

17 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, in the name of the Department of Economics, JKU Linz, I cordially invite you to our research seminar: Our next speaker, 23rd of June, 2021, 4pm David Agrawal (University of Kentucky) https://www.uky.edu/~drag222/ <https://www.uky.edu/~drag222/> "The Effect of Taxes on Where Superstars Work“ https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3718441 <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3718441> Abstract: Prior studies show that taxes matter for the residential locations of high-income earners. But, states raise a significant share of income taxes from nonresidents, especially superstars. Using superstar athletes and variation in state tax rates, we provide causal evidence on the effect of the net-of-participation tax rate on the location of labor supply. The elasticity of working in a state is 0.32, with larger effects at the top of the earnings distribution. Our results suggest a novel margin of labor supply responses for top-earners: the spatial relocation of labor supply by nonresidents. David R. Agrawal is an Associate Professor in the Martin School of Public Policy & Administration and the Department of Economics at the University of Kentucky and a Fellow in the CESifo Network. He is Editor-in-Chief of International Tax and Public Finance. David's primary field of research is public finance - with an emphasis on taxation and fiscal federalism. David's research agenda focuses on theoretical and empirical models of: tax competition and fiscal federalism, the mobility of people and firms in response to taxes, and sales and excise taxes.

Lockdowns, supply shortages of important primary products and raw materials, the increase in transport costs etc. have put a massive strain on the global economy as well as companies and have resulted in negative economic effects. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Due to government support and vaccination programmes, a strong economic recovery is on the horizon from the second half of 2021 onwards. The workshop presents findings from the anniversary edition of “Schwerpunkt Außenwirtschaft”: · First, it briefly addresses the current framework conditions for global trade as well as Austria’s foreign trade relations. · Second, the event focuses on the implications of COVID-19 on global trade and the policy response to this pandemic. The question of how to shape economic recovery after the COVID-crisis is also answered. 14:00 Opening and Introduction by Ernest Gnan (OeNB) Current Developments in the Economy and in Foreign Trade Julia Wörz (OeNB): Current development of world trade Barbara Tasch-Ronner (WKÖ): Recent developments in EU trade policy Klaus Vondra (OeNB): Austrian economic development, price competitiveness and overview of foreign trade Leonhard Pertl (WKÖ): Austria‘s foreign trade in goods – recent developments Particia Walter (OeNB): Austria’s international trade in services Florian Koller (WKÖ): Austrian foreign direct investment – recent developments 14:20 Panel: The Corona Effect: Structural Shifts and International Trade Moderation: Christoph Schneider (WKÖ) COVID and Global Trade Heli Simola (BOFIT): The impact of COVID-19 on global value chains Richard Bolwijn (UNCTAD): Structural Shifts of Investment in Global Value Chains Gabriel Felbermayr (Institut für Weltwirtschaft Kiel): COVID-19 and the Resilience of Global Value Chains Robert Stehrer (wiiw): Trade in COVID-19-related products in Austria and the EU27 during the pandemic Martin Kaufman (IMF): Impact of COVID-19 on EMDEs External Sectors: Transitory vs. ‘Scarring’ Effects Alonso Alfaro-Urena (Central Bank of Costa Rica): Pandemics as a potential threat to the wide-ranging gains from FDI Simon J.

WU Economic Research Seminar, 23.6.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Lisandra Flach (LMU & IFO)
by Oberhofer, Harald 16 Jun '21

16 Jun '21

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar on Wednesday, June 23rd, with Lisandra Flach (LMU Munich & ifo Center for International Economics) on "Corporate Taxes and Multi-Product Exporters: Theory and Evidence from Trade Dynamics" Abstract: This paper analyzes how exporters are affected by corporate tax reforms in destination markets. We introduce tax policy in a trade model of multi-product firms and show that producers face tougher competition in export markets with lower corporate tax rates. This competitive effect induces firms to reduce the number of exported products and to skew their export sales towards the better performing varieties. We estimate the effects of corporate taxes on trade dynamics by exploiting policy reforms in 45 destination countries of exports during the period 2005-2012. Our results provide strong support for competitive effects of corporate taxation. Date: Wednesday, June 23th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: Zoom. You can access starting from 4.30 pm using this link<https://wu-ac-at.zoom.us/j/98406836910?pwd=V0QvOFFmZldJT2ViQXhoemdERlUxQT09>.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, We have the pleasure of inviting you to the 87th East Jour Fixe of the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) which will be hosted as a virtual event via Webex on June 17, 2021. The conference will focus on "CESEE's second transition - challenges on the road to low-carbon economies." Roughly three decades after their successful transition to market economies, the countries of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE) face the challenges of a second transition toward carbon neutrality. During our upcoming East Jour Fixe, we will try to map this endeavor by comparing past, present and future climate policy strategies in CESEE and other EU member economies. After assessing the green investment needs in the region, we will then discuss how well prepared the financial sector and its regulatory framework are to meet these challenges. Date Thursday, June 17, 2021 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. (CEST) Venue Online workshop CISCO Webex Please reply under the following LINK<http://oenb-events.com/87_EJF?id=b0367f7abcf66ad759258a6da1481281>.

REMINDER - Call for Abstracts - Sixth ATHEA Conference "Covid 19 and beyond”
by Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

[cid:image001.png@01D4614B.8833BAC0] Call for Abstracts Sixth ATHEA Conference for Health Economics Vienna, September 23rd and 24th 2021 “Covid 19 and beyond” The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted healthcare delivery over an extensive period of time. As safety considerations and restrictive public health policies made traditional models of care impracticable, healthcare providers had to adapt their services and patients had to change their care seeking behaviours. This situation created unprecedented conditions for the development and adoptions of a wide range of healthcare innovations. In particular, physical distancing requirements triggered a dramatic increase in the utilization of e-health and m-health technologies. Simultaneously, health systems need to cope with the new epidemiological burden not only of acute disease management of people with severe respiratory difficulties but also with the fast-emerging issue of long-term complications dubbed long COVID. Furthermore, the already gigantic logistical issue of mass-testing and mass-vaccination is under the constant threat of the apparition of new variants. Not only healthcare delivery but also its financing along with equity issues urgently need to be carefully examined. The sixth ATHEA conference will explore the opportunities and challenges raised by the health care innovation and health system adaptations triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The conference will take place from Thursday, September 23rd, 2021 (late-morning start) to Friday, September 24th, 2021 (ending midday). The event will feature one keynote speaker on each day addressing the main theme of the conference, as well as 2 parallel sessions organized according to the themes that will emerge from the selected papers. As in previous years, submissions for presentation are welcome in all fields of health economics and health policy, including long-term care, and are not restricted to the conference topic. Deadline abstract submission (max. 500 words): June 21st, 2021 to conference(a)athea.at<mailto:conference@athea.at> Notification abstract acceptance: August 14th, 2021 Conference venue: Institut für Höhere Studien (IHS), Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna, Austria Conference languages: English, German Conference fee on site*: 95€ Conference fee virtual*: 30€ *We are currently planning the conference as an on-site event with full in person participation. Should circumstances not allow it, we will switch to a hybrid or virtual conference. The decision about the conference format will be announced with the notification of abstract acceptance. ___________________________________________ Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) Josefstädter Straße 39 ● 1080 Wien web: www.athea.at<http://www.athea.at/> ● e-mail: athea(a)athea.at<mailto:athea@athea.at>

Bitte registrieren Sie sich für den Einwahllink. Dieser wird Ihnen kurz vor der Veranstaltung zugesandt. Sprache: Englisch Description: The presentation is based on a paper<https://ideas.repec.org/p/cam/camdae/2127.html> co-authored with Klusak, P., Agarwala, M., Kraemer, M. and Mohaddes, K. Enthusiasm for 'greening the financial system' is welcome, but a fundamental challenge remains: financial decision makers lack the necessary information. It is not enough to know that climate change is bad. Markets need credible, digestible information on how climate change translates into material risks. To bridge the gap between climate science and real-world financial indicators, we simulate the effect of climate change on sovereign credit ratings for 108 countries, creating the world's first climate-adjusted sovereign credit rating. Under various warming scenarios, we find evidence of climate-induced sovereign downgrades as early as 2030, increasing in intensity and across more countries over the century. We find strong evidence that stringent climate policy consistent with limiting warming to below 2oC, honouring the Paris Climate Agreement, and following RCP 2.6 could nearly eliminate the effect of climate change on ratings. In contrast, under higher emissions scenarios (i.e., RCP 8.5), 63 sovereigns experience climate-induced downgrades by 2030, with an average reduction of 1.02 notches, rising to 80 sovereigns facing an average downgrade of 2.48 notches by 2100. We calculate the effect of climate-induced sovereign downgrades on the cost of corporate and sovereign debt. Across the sample, climate change could increase the annual interest payments on sovereign debt by US$ 22-33 billion under RCP 2.6, rising to US$ 137-205 billion under RCP 8.5. The additional cost to corporates is US$ 7.2-12.6 billion under RCP 2.6, and US$ 35.8-62.6 billion under RCP 8.5. Wir freuen uns über Ihre Teilnahme an den Veranstaltungen.

Language: English Description: The presentation is based on a paper<https://ideas.repec.org/p/cam/camdae/2127.html> co-authored with Klusak, P., Agarwala, M., Kraemer, M. and Mohaddes, K. Enthusiasm for 'greening the financial system' is welcome, but a fundamental challenge remains: financial decision makers lack the necessary information. It is not enough to know that climate change is bad. Markets need credible, digestible information on how climate change translates into material risks. To bridge the gap between climate science and real-world financial indicators, we simulate the effect of climate change on sovereign credit ratings for 108 countries, creating the world's first climate-adjusted sovereign credit rating. Under various warming scenarios, we find evidence of climate-induced sovereign downgrades as early as 2030, increasing in intensity and across more countries over the century. We find strong evidence that stringent climate policy consistent with limiting warming to below 2oC, honouring the Paris Climate Agreement, and following RCP 2.6 could nearly eliminate the effect of climate change on ratings. In contrast, under higher emissions scenarios (i.e., RCP 8.5), 63 sovereigns experience climate-induced downgrades by 2030, with an average reduction of 1.02 notches, rising to 80 sovereigns facing an average downgrade of 2.48 notches by 2100. We calculate the effect of climate-induced sovereign downgrades on the cost of corporate and sovereign debt. Across the sample, climate change could increase the annual interest payments on sovereign debt by US$ 22-33 billion under RCP 2.6, rising to US$ 137-205 billion under RCP 8.5.
