Dear Colleagues, our member of the Editorial Board of Empirica, Professor Andrew Hughes Hallett deceased - already in December 2019. Springer has given me the permission to publish an obituary for HH in Empirica. I knew Andrew very well and would be prepared to write the obituary. Before doing this I would like to ask whether anyone of you knew HH even better than I and would therefore be prepared to write the obituary (1 page). If there is no reaction to my request in the next two weeks I will do it. Best regards, Fritz Breuss Managing Editor of Empirica

WIC Colloquium online, May 13th, 14:00-15:00
by Freund, Inga 06 May '20

06 May '20

WIC COLLOQUIUM online Christian Dudel, Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research An indirect estimation method for the total number of COVID-19 infections May 13th 2020, 14:00 Abstract The number of COVID-19 infections is important for assessing the progression of the pandemic, as the number of confirmed cases may underestimate the total number. We develop an indirect method to estimate the total number of infections based on age-specific death counts and age-specific infection fatality rates (IFRs). We use remaining life expectancy to scale IFRs between countries to account for differences in age structure, health status, and health care system. Using data for 10 countries up to April 17, we estimate that on average the total number of infections is four times higher than the number of confirmed cases. Cross-country variation is high. For Italy, the estimated number of infected is six times the confirmed cases; for the U.S. twice the confirmed cases; and for Germany, where testing has been comparatively extensive, 1.2 times the confirmed cases. Comparing our results with findings from local seroprevalence studies suggest that the seroprevalence studies are not representative. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the seminar will be held online via Zoom. Please register online to participate: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/VID/Events/Calendar/WIC-Colloquium/registration/. Login information will be sent to registered participants on Tuesday, May 12th. For more information please see the attached file.

MSc Economics Open Day | 11 May | 2-4pm
by Thomas Rabensteiner 06 May '20

06 May '20

Dear all, I would like to draw your attention to the following event. MSc Economics Open Day | 11 May | 2-4pm About this Event The scale of the COVID-19 crisis and its economic impact is unprecedented. Yet even before the public health crisis struck, there were serious questions about the ecological, financial and social sustainability of our economy. There has never been a more pressing time to learn economics. Policies are now being implemented across the world to deal with the health crisis which just a few months ago were considered radical. This shows more clearly than ever that economics is a broad discipline, with a wide range of perspectives and policies. The MSc economics<https://www.gre.ac.uk/postgraduate-courses/bus/econ> at the University of Greenwich is situated within this pluralist tradition, providing a real world understanding of the economy from different theoretical perspectives, including post-keynesian, ecological, feminist, neoclassical and marxist. On Monday 11 May, four leading academics who teach on the MSc programme will host a free, online open day to talk you through the programme and how it relates to their research. The open day is aimed at anyone who is potentially interested in learning about the economy and you do not need a formal background in economics to attend. • Dr Alberto Botta<https://www.gre.ac.uk/people/rep/faculty-of-business/alberto-botta>, senior lecturer in economics • Professor Özlem Onaran<https://www.gre.ac.uk/people/rep/faculty-of-business/ozlem-onaran>, professor of economics • Professor Mehmet Ugur<https://www.gre.ac.uk/people/rep/faculty-of-business/mehmet-ugur>, professor of economics • Dr. Maria Nikolaidi<https://www.gre.ac.uk/people/rep/faculty-of-business/maria-nikolaidi>, senior lecturer in economics Moderated by two current Greenwich Rethinking Economics students, Thomas Rabensteiner and Ben Tippet, the event is an opportunity to ask any questions you might have about undertaking an MSc degree: Why economics? Why Greenwich? And why pluralism? The event is free but please sign up here. We will send the webinar link closer to the time. The economic challenges of our time | Webinars | Every Thursday, 3pm SIGN UP<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/webinar-what-do-economists-have-to-say-about…> Please feel free to contact thomas.rabensteiner(a)greenwich.ac.uk<mailto:thomas.rabensteiner@greenwich.ac.uk> for further information. Alongside the open day, PEGFA/GPERC is hosting a series of webinars exploring the economic challenges of our time: from COVID-19 to the ecological, financial and social sustainability of modern capitalism. Every Thursday at 3pm, a leading researcher from our research centre will run a free online seminar on their area of expertise, to help us make sense of these tumultuous times. Topics include: May 21: Fighting the COVID-19 emergency and relaunching the European economy: debt monetization and recovery bonds May 28: Rebuilding an economy for all in the aftermath of the Covid19 crisis: Tax wealth to fund public investment in social and physcial infrastructure June 4: COVID-19 and the public finances: Another ten years of austerity? June 18: Greening the Bank of England COVID-19 QE programme Date TBA: The political economy of income distribution – why is income inequality increasing and what can we do about it? Date TBA: Class in the time of COVID-10: how the crisis has exposed class divides See here <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/webinar-what-do-economists-have-to-say-about…> for more information and for free sign ups.
