WIC Colloquium, February Tuesday 11th, 10:00-11:00
by Freund, Inga 04 Feb '20

04 Feb '20

WIC COLLOQUIUM Anna Katharina Raggl, Österreichische Nationalbank The Role of the Quality of Public Services in Shaping Migration Intentions in CESEE February Tuesday 11th, 10:00-11:00 Abstract In Central, Eastern and Southeastern European (CESEE) countries, emigration has been high in the past, and, especially in the non-EU CESEE countries, net migration rates are still negative and sizeable. Migration can have a substantial impact on the age and skill profile of a society, which in turn is key for economic development and fiscal sustainability. Therefore, it is of particular importance to understand the motives for individual migration intentions. Building on earlier studies of migration intentions in CESEE, we use the 2018-wave of the OeNB Euro Survey to study in particular the link between individual migration intentions and the satisfaction with the provision of public services - infrastructure, education, health, etc. in ten CESEE countries. We employ (Polychoric) Principal Component Analysis, (P)PCA, to reduce the dimensionality of the data, and instrumental variable techniques to estimate the effect of the satisfaction with public services on migration intentions. For more information please see the attached file.

Dabei stellt sich die Frage, welche Möglichkeiten wir in Europa haben, die europäische Idee zu stärken und politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Räume zu verbinden. Dafür haben unsere Referenten Dr. Mario Holzner und Luc Pierre Devigne Konzepte und Ideen entworfen, die in Imshausen gemeinsam mit anderen Experten diskutiert werden sollen. Der Dirigent Jan Moritz Onken stellt die Form eines kulturellen und musikalischen Seidenstraßengürtels - den Silk Road Cultural Belt [https://www.silkroadculturalbelt.com/] - als ein Narrativ für Europa vor. Diese Ideen finden zunehmend auch in der gesamteuropäischen gesellschaftlichen Debatte Gehör und stoßen auf großes Interesse der Politik. Gemeinsam blicken wir auf Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer solchen 'Europäischen Seidenstraße [https://european-silk-road.eu/]' und betten diese in die aktuellen Entwicklungen in der EU ein. _Eine Veranstaltung der Stiftung Adam von Trott [https://stiftung-adam-von-trott.de/] I Imshausen e.V. in Kooperation mit der BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt [https://bmw-foundation.org/de/] und der Callias Foundation [https://www.callias-foundation.org/] (Berlin)._ Best regards, Robert Stehrer [https://wiiw.ac.at/robert-stehrer-s-16.html] _Scientific Director_ wiiw The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, Austria wiiw(a)wiiw.ac.at, wiiw.ac.at [https://wiiw.ac.at] T: +43 1 533 66 10 [tel:+4315336610] [http://www.facebook.com/wiiw.economic.studies] [http://www.twitter.com/wiiw_news] [http://www.linkedin.com/company/vienna-institute-for-international-economic…] [http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyNuSfsgzgBsIf7AaH8Vk-Q] [https://wiiw.ac.at/rss.php] Copyright ©2020 wiiw, all rights reserved.

Februar 2020, 13:30 Uhr WIFO, Kleiner Sitzungssaal Fanny Dellinger (Universität Innsbruck) "The Welfare Magnet Hypothesis Revisited - A Natural Experiment in Austria" Kommentar: Rainer Eppel (WIFO) Abstract: How do welfare levels influence migrants' location choice? The welfare magnet hypothesis claims that migrants will be disproportionately drawn to high-welfare locations. However, the hypothesis has proven difficult to verify empirically because of the multiplicity of factors influencing mobility choices. Due to a policy of initial random dispersion of refugees and stark regional differences in welfare levels in Austria, it is possible to causally identify the effect of welfare on location choice. In some Austrian Länder (federal states) welfare levels for refugees differ depending on a person's protection status, while in others, they do not. On top, there have been three reforms of the welfare system in specific states, which led to reductions in welfare levels of 30 to 60 percent, generating variation over time. The results show strong evidence for welfare levels having an effect on location choice. However, for understanding overall mobility patterns of refugees the importance of state specific support structures cannot be overstated.
