Wann: Donnerstag, 29.4.2021 Beginn: 14:30 UHR ________________________________ Zur Veranstaltung Die Corona-Krise zeichnet sich durch massive ordnungspolitische Eingriffe ins Leben der Bevölkerung aus, wie etwa durch Ausgangssperren, gleichzeitig werden in großem Ausmaß Unterstützungsleistungen erbracht, um Haushalte und Unternehmen durch die unmittelbare Krise zu bringen. Um bemessen zu können, wie erfolgreich Eingriffe und Unterstützungen sind, braucht es begleitende wissenschaftliche Analyse – und dafür wiederum sind Daten erforderlich. Letztere sind in Österreich zwar vorhanden, aber in vielen Fällen der Forschung entweder gar nicht zugänglich oder nur in ganz eingeschränktem Ausmaß. Gleichzeitig erheben hunderte Forschungsprojekte Daten, die im Rahmen von Open Science und Open Data auch anderen Forschenden zur Nachnutzung zugänglich gemacht werden – doch auch hier gibt es praktische Herausforderungen. Das Webinar stellt die Datenproblematik in den Mittelpunkt: Welche Datensätze fehlen den ForscherInnen am meisten? Was braucht es, um diese Lücke zu schließen? Wie kann die intensivere Nutzung von Forschungsdaten befördert werden?

REMINDER: WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Tomáš Sobotka & Kryštof Zeman Wittgenstein Centre (IIASA, OeAW, University of Vienna) Baby bust in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic? First results from the new STFF data series Wednesday, April 21st, 14:00-15:00 (CEST) Please register for the presentation here until one day before the presentation 10:00 (CEST): https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/calendar/wic-colloquium/registration/ Login information will be sent to registered participants the day before the presentation. Abstract Past evidence on fertility responses to external shocks, including economic recessions and the outbreaks of infectious diseases, show that people often put their childbearing plans on hold in uncertain times. We study the most recent data on monthly birth trends to analyse the initial fertility responses to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our research, based on new Short-Term Fertility Fluctuations (STFF) data series, embedded in the Human Fertility Database, shows the initial signs of the expected "birth recession". Monthly number of births in many countries have fallen sharply since October 2020, often bringing about a clear reversal of the previous trend. Across 17 countries with lower fluctuations in births, births fell on average by 5.1% in November 2020, 6.5% in December 2020 and 8.9% in January 2021, compared with the same month of the previous year. Spain sustained the sharpest drop in the number of births among the analysed countries, with the number of births plummeting by 20% in December 2020 and January 2021. The combined effect of rising mortality and falling birthrates is disrupting the balance of births and deaths in many countries, pushing natural population increase to record low levels.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, dear colleagues, in the name of the Department of Economics, I cordially invite you to our research seminar April, 14th, 2021, 4pm Maria Petrova (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) https://sites.google.com/site/mariapetrovaphd/ <https://sites.google.com/site/mariapetrovaphd/> Bombs, Broadcasts and Resistance: Allied Intervention and Domestic Opposition to the Nazi Regime during World War II https://ideas.repec.org/p/cpr/ceprdp/15292.html <https://0ec87679-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/mariapetrovaphd/B…> Abstract: Can bombs and broadcasts instigate resistance against a foreign regime? We examine the canonical case of bombing designed to undermine enemy morale—the Allied bomber offensive against Germany during WWII. Our evidence shows that both air power and the airwaves undermined regime support. Using plausibly exogenous variation in weather, we show that places that suffered more bombardment saw noticeably more opposition. Bombing also reduced the combat motivation of soldiers: fighter pilots from bombed-out cities performed markedly less well after raids. We also provide evidence that exposure to BBC radio, especially together with bombing, increased the number of resistance cases.

Invitation I "Savings Behaviour in Crisis and Post-crisis Times" - SUERF/UniCredit Foundation Workshop, 22 April 2021, 13:30-16:30 CET - online

Motivation: The Global Financial Crisis and COVID-19 crisis have, among many other things, also affected savings behaviour. Changes involve both aggregate household savings ratios, individual propensity to consume and to save, as well as portfolio choice. While the post-GFC and COVID-induced very low interest rates have likely reduced income motives for saving, crises put precautionary savings into the foreground. In the COVID-19 crisis, new attention was directed to savings motives, given the impossibility to consume, resulting in “forced savings”. The COVID-19 crisis also raises the question whether consumption and household savings behaviour will change more permanently, and beyond the time of the constraints imposed by the pandemic and related containment measures. Such changes would have important permanent consequences on aggregate demand, structural employment/unemployment, potential growth, the sectoral composition of output, the natural rate of interest and, as a result, the environment in which fiscal and monetary policies act.

We discretize firm “classes” using a clustering methodology which groups to- gether firms with similar distributions of unexplained wage growth. Equipped with this categorization of firms—which our conceptual framework interprets as skill-learning classes—we document three main results. First, Mincerian returns to experience vary substantially across experience acquired in different firm classes, and the magnitude of this type of heterogeneity is associated with significant shifts across the distribution of early-career wage growth. Second, past experience at firms with better on-the-job learning is associated with subsequent jobs featuring greater non-routine task content. Third, firm and workforce observables only mildly predict on-the-job learning opportu- nities across firms. Our findings hold among involuntarily displaced workers who have no seniority at their new jobs, reinforcing a human capital interpretation as opposed to seniority-based pay schemes. Jaime Arellano-Bover is a postdoctoral associate at the Department of Economics, Yale. He is a labor economist and applied microeconomist with research on firms, human capital, migration, and economic history.
