Call for Papers - Sustainability, Work and Growth Dealdline Extendion February 5th, 2021
by Katharina Köberl-Schmid 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

CALL for PAPERS - Sustainability, Work and Growth Workshop on SDG8 "Full employment, decent work for all and economic growth" 5th March 2021 Submission Deadline extension: February 5th 2021 Outline WIFO's Research Platform Sustainability and Inclusiveness is organising a Workshop on SDG8 "Decent work and economic growth". The United Nation's "Sustainable Development Goals" (SDGs) encompass economic, ecological and social aspects of sustainable and inclusive development and describe central global challenges for Austria and the EU, such as reducing inequality, mitigating climate change or creating appropriate working conditions. Among the 17 SDGs, SDG8 focuses on full employment, decent work for all and economic growth. Emerging structural changes are accelerating in the COVID-19-crisis and increasing recognition of the global climate crisis are intensifying the questions of sustainable labour markets as well as of sustainable and inclusive economic structures. The conference topic is set on the back- ground of the actual situation facing disruptions and challenges. In this respect, issues and effects on inequality both among the society and countries should be discussed. Another relevant aspect relates to measurement and monitoring instruments. We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics related to SDG8. Papers addressing the following research questions are particularly welcome: * What alternative sub-targets or indicators would be needed to measure progress towards SDG8 in a broader sense? * Do the sub-targets related to SDG8 adequately reflect today's grand challenges (like the cli- mate crisis) and mega-trends (like digitalisation)? * What gender-sensitive indicators and methods can be developed? * What are suitable methods to measure the progress towards the sustainable development objective of SDG8? * What are trade-offs and synergies between SDG8 and other SDGs and how could trade-offs be overcome? * What are the implications of the COVID-19-crisis for SDG8 in general, and in particular for full employment? Time and Location The "Sustainability, Work and Growth" workshop will take place online on March 5th, 2021. Due to the current global situation regarding COVID-19 we decided to organize the workshop as an online event. Paper Submission We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics related to SDG8. The submission of interdisciplinary papers is encouraged. Please submit your long abstracts (minimum 500 words) via the online tool (https://sdg8workshop.wifo.ac.at/) until 29th January 2021. Notification of the outcome of the review process for the conference is scheduled for 10th February 2021. Publication of Papers Selected papers may be published after a peer-reviewing process in a special conference issue of Empirica: Journal of European Economics. In case you would like your paper to be considered for the special issue please indicate this in the remarks to the programme committee in the online tool. The deadline for the submission of the full paper is 31st March 2021. General Information Attendance of the workshop is free. The workshop language is English. In case you have any questions please contact Katharina Köberl (katharina.koeberl(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:katharina.koeberl@wifo.ac.at>).

JKU economics research seminar 3.2.2021
by René Böheim 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

Dear colleagues, we cordially invite you to our online research seminar Wednesday, 3rd of February, 2021, 4pm: CarlyWill Sloan (Claremont Graduate University), https://carlywillsloan.com/sample-page/ <https://carlywillsloan.com/sample-page/> Racial Bias by Prosecutors: Evidence from Random Assignment http://www.econ.jku.at/t3/veranstaltungen/research_seminar/papers/sloan.pdf <http://www.econ.jku.at/t3/veranstaltungen/research_seminar/papers/sloan.pdf> Abstract: There is much interest in understanding the extent to which racial bias drives the large racial disparities in criminal justice outcomes. However, little is known about whether prosecutors exhibit racial bias, despite the widespread belief that prosecutors have more power and discretion than any other actor in the justice system. This paper uses data from New York County to test for racial bias in convictions by being the first to exploit the conditionally random assignment of prosecutors to cases. To overcome confounding factors associated with defendant and prosecutor race, I use a difference-in-differences to consider how much more black versus white defendants are convicted by white prosecutors, compared to the same difference for black prosecutors. Results indicate strong evidence of racial bias for property crimes, even after adjusting for multiple comparisons, but not for other crimes. Property crime results show white defendants have similar convic- tion rates regardless of prosecutor race. However, while prosecutors of both races convict black defendants at higher rates, the difference in conviction rates across white and black defendants is 5 percentage points (8 percent) higher for white prosecutors than black prosecutors. Additional results indicate this effect is driven by differences in dismissals and by defendants with no criminal history. CarlyWill Sloan is Assistant Professor in the Department of Economic Sciences at Claremont Graduate University. Her research interests include labor economics, the economics of crime, and the economics of discrimination Selected publications: * Does Race Matter for Police Use of Force?
