Considering increasingly integrated global value chains, can economic complexity based on value-added exports better explain economic growth? Do value-added export specializations convey a different picture of economic development from a network perspective than gross export specializations? Approach: Using value-added exports and applying non-linear iterative algorithms, I introduce a novel empirical approach to the topic of economic complexity. Moreover, in analogy to the Product Space, which uses gross exports and maps products to each other based on required capabilities, value-added exports enable a complementary visualization of economic development and structural cross-country differences we refer to as Industry Space. Data: The latest release of the World Input-Output Database is used, which covers 43 countries and 56 industries each for 2000 to 2014. Main result(s): This approach leads to substantially different complexity rankings compared to established metrics using gross exports and the explanatory power of GDP per capita growth is considerably higher. Our study on the Industry Space emphasizes the need for value-added exports in analyzing economic development by providing evidence that using gross exports significantly changes the similarities between industries.

JKU economics research seminar 26.5.21
by René Böheim 20 May '21

20 May '21

Dear colleagues, in the name of the Department of Economics, I cordially invite you to our research seminar 26th of May, 2021, 4pm: Arizo Karimi https://sites.google.com/site/arizokarimi/ <https://sites.google.com/site/arizokarimi/> Parental Inputs and Child Outcomes - Evidence from a Paternity Leave Reform Abstract: This paper exploits the introduction of a Swedish “daddy-month” reform in a difference-in-discontinuities design to study how fathers’ parental leave affects children’s human capital. Results show that the reform improved average compulsory school-leaving GPAs of sons of college educated fathers by 0.06 standard deviations, while GPAs of sons of non-college educated fathers declined by 0.05 standard deviations. We estimate that the reform increased intergenerational persistence of human capital by ten percent for boys with no corresponding effects for girls. We provide suggestive evidence that these results are linked to asymmetric impacts on family stability and role model effects. Arizo Karimi is Associate Professor of Economics, Uppsala University. Her research is on the link between the economics of the family and the labor market analysis. She obtained her PhD from Uppsala University in 2014. Selected publications: * "Modern Family?

WU Economic Research Seminar, 26.5.2021, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Marco Fongoni (University of Strathclyde)
by Oberhofer, Harald 20 May '21

20 May '21

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, May 26th, with Marco Fongoni (University of Strathclyde) on "Asymmetric Reciprocity and the Cyclical Behaviour of Wages, Effort and Job Creation" Abstract: This paper analyses the cyclical behaviour of wages, effort and job creation in a search and matching framework in which workers are characterised by asymmetric reference-dependent reciprocity, and firms set wages by considering the effect that wage changes can have on workers' effort, and therefore on output. The analysis establishes that the cyclical response of workers' effort to wage changes can considerably amplify the magnitude of shocks, independently of the extent of cyclicality of the hiring wage; and that firms' expectations of downward wage rigidity in existing jobs -along with the prospect of output losses due to incumbents negatively reciprocating wage cuts- increases the volatility of job creation. The model generates outcomes consistent with evidence on hiring and incumbents' wage cyclicality, and provides novel predictions for the difference in the dynamics of effort between new hires and incumbent workers. Date: Wednesday, May 26th 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/97212292365?pwd=MGtPcUh4R0lGWFdaaUFNSHArOGRHQT09>.

View this email in your browser [https://wiiw.ac.at/files/mailings/event-202105200744-en.html] _in cooperation with _ [https://recet.at/] Dear colleague, we cordially invite you to the following event: WHY HAS EASTERN EUROPE LAGGED BEHIND THE WEST FOR SO LONG? LONG-TERM PATTERNS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH, RETARDATION AND PATH-DEPENDENCY MATTHIAS MORYS University of York (UK) THURSDAY, 27 MAY 2021, 4:30 PM (16:30 CEST) This is an online event via Demio. Please register using the registration link below. The collapse of communism in Central, East and South-East Europe (CESEE) led to great hopes for the region and for Europe. Three decades on, the picture is mixed: in many CESEE countries, the transformation process is incomplete, and the economic catch-up has taken longer than anticipated. The current situation has highlighted the need for a better understanding of the long-term political and economic implications of the CESEE experience. Drawing on his own research as well as his editorship of the recently published “Economic History of Central, East and South-East Europe, 1800 to the Present” (Routledge 2020), Matthias Morys outlines where quantitative economic history research stands on the origins and persistence of this fundamental West-East-divide, and suggests some lessons for the 22 countries in the region today.

Call for Abstracts - Sixth ATHEA Conference "Covid 19 and beyond”
by Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) 17 May '21

17 May '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>

Which security interventions effectively reduce harm? Have these answers changed over time? Approach: Systematization of the empirical literature in several disciplines Data: Stock markets, financial disclosures, insurance claims, news reports (breach disclosures), technical measurements, survey responses Main result(s): Studies disagree on the harm resulting from cyber incidents Omitted variables and sampling biases cast doubt on many results Indicators of exposure explain more variance than indicators of preventive security Very little is known about systemic cyber risk Policy implication(s): The market can handle individual cyber losses, but externalities creating systemic cyber risk require policy attention. Statistical institutes should extend the collection of cyber risk indicators on a representative basis.
