WU - The Effect of the Great Recession on U.S. Fertility: Causal Estimates from a Novel Cohort Discontinuity Design Dear WIC colleagues, Just a gentle reminder about tomorrow's colloquium: [cid:image003.jpg@01DC2705.552685E0] [Tageskalender] <https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/ICAL-files/Colloqui…> Wednesday, 17 September 2025 11:00 - 12:00 (CEST) Location: Meeting Room 1, 3rd floor, PSK, Georg Coch Platz 2, 1010 Vienna. Please register here<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration>. The Effect of the Great Recession on U.S. Fertility: Causal Estimates from a Novel Cohort Discontinuity Design Lawrence L. WU, New York University Abstract: We employ a novel cohort discontinuity design to identify the causal effect of the Great Recession on the fertility of single-year cohorts of U.S. women. This design uses the exogenous shock of the Great Recession and demographic projection methods to identify causal effects that are cohort specific. Effects were negative across cohorts and varied considerably for white and black women. Declines were most pronounced for cohorts in their teens and 20s during the Great Recession, with relative declines of 7--30% and absolute declines of 0.013--0.031 births per woman. In a final set of analyses, we followed cohorts forward in time to assess their cumulative fertility as observed in 2022 and as projected to 2037. These analyses suggest that were the Great Recession to have a permanent quantum effect, lifetime fertility will nevertheless be likely to remain at or near replacement for those who experienced the sharpest fertility declines during the Great Recession. About the presenter: Lawrence L. Wu is Professor of Sociology and Director of the NYU Population Center at New York University. Prior to NYU, he was a faculty member at Princeton and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and has held visiting positions at Columbia and Yale. He is a social and family demographer whose research areas include fertility, family structure and family change, cohabitation and marriage, marital and union dissolution, causal inference, and event history methods. His research has received funding from NIA, NICHD, NSF, ASPE, and the William T. Grant Foundation. ********************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA **********************************************************************************

CEU seminar: Julian Martinez-Iriarte (UC Santa Cruz); 09/23 (Tue) 11.15am-12.30pm
by Timea Laura Molnar 16 Sep '25

16 Sep '25

Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Julian Martinez-Iriarte (UC Santa Cruz), who will talk about “Bounds for within-household encouragement designs with interference". You are all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. Time and venue: September 23, Tuesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, QS B-505, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna). Abstract: "We study partial identification of direct and spillover effects in settings with strategic interaction and discrete treatments, outcomes, and instruments. Motivated by encouragement designs, we consider intra-household games shaped by a policymaker’s randomized assignment of incentives. Treatment take-up is modeled as a pure-strategy Nash equilibrium among k decision-makers, with outcomes determined by their joint take-up profile. We characterize the set of latent types consistent with equilibrium behavior and exclusion restrictions, and derive the full space of compatible type profiles. Additional structure—such as symmetry, strategic complementarity or substitution, monotonicity, and homogeneity—can be imposed flexibly to tighten the identified set. For any combination of assumptions, we compute sharp bounds on parameters of interest via a simple Python/R linear programming routine. We formalize a notion of non-refutable and irrelevant restrictions, provide their geometric characterization, and discuss implications for empirical practice. Our framework enables researchers to assess both the identifying power and robustness of structural assumptions in applied settings." Speaker’s website: https://sites.google.com/view/julianmi/ Registration, till 12pm, the day before the seminar, is required at: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=E1nE2VN24kuSC72wOGOBhDP… For any question, please contact the CEU seminar organizer, Timea L.

ECMI / NBS / CEPS / SUERF Research Conference 2025 - October 1–2, 2025
by Mankart Jochen 16 Sep '25

16 Sep '25

Dear NOeG organizers, I would be grateful if you distributed the invitation below to your members. If you have any questions, please let me know. Best, Jochen Dear colleagues I would like to invite you to our bi-annual research conference. Program & registration link can be found here<https://www.suerf.org/events/financial-deepening-how-to-finance-productivit…>. It is also possible to register for only 1 day and Bratislava is only 1h train ride from Vienna 😊. One of the highlights is the participation of the new Governor of the OeNB, Martin Kocher. The year the conference is about the challenges small and medium-sized European economies face in financing productivity, innovation, and the green transition, often within tight fiscal constraints and bank-dominated financial systems. To explore solutions, ECMI , NBS , CEPS , and SUERF are co-hosting a two-day conference in Bratislava on 1–2 October 2025 , focused on the question: How can we finance productivity, growth and transition in small and medium-sized economies? The program combines new research with high-level policy dialogue across five themes: Financial deepening in CEE, Banking and financial inclusion, Geopolitics and finance, Firms' financing needs, and Green financial policy.

October 2025 Time: 15:30 – 17:00 Place: HS1 (EG), Faculty of Business, Economics and Statistics Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna The capacity to organize ourselves to pursue a variety of goals is one of the oldest and most powerful technologies our species has developed. Phanish Puranam will draw on his research to describe how organizations and their designs are being impacted by another powerful, far more recently developed technology: Artificial Intelligence (AI). He will highlight the challenges that lie ahead for organizations when adopting AI technologies in a manner that is both goal centric and human-centric. Phanish Puranam is Professor of Strategy and Roland Berger Chaired Professor of Strategy and Organisational Design at INSEAD. His research focuses on the design and functioning of organizations and how we can make them better and more effective. As a recognized expert in organizational design, he is currently investigating how intelligent algorithms relate to organizations—whether as tools, cooperation partners, or templates for new forms of organization. At INSEAD, Puranam leads the “Organizations and Algorithms” research initiative and advises executives from business, politics, and international institutions. He received his PhD from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and previously taught at the London Business School, where he also served as academic director of the doctoral program.

"Konsolidierung im Bundesstaat" / KDZ-TU Wien Tagung / 5.11.2025
by Michael Getzner 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

Liebe Kolleg*innen, sowohl Bund, Länder als auch Gemeinden haben einen beachtlichen Konsolidierungsbedarf zu bewältigen. Doch trifft dies wirklich alle gleichermaßen? Im Rahmen der Impulskonferenz 2025 wollen wir der Frage nachgehen, wie eine erfolgreiche und abgestimmte Konsolidierung im Bundesstaat aussieht – und ob bzw. wie sie gelingen kann. Auch soll das Potenzial von Einsparungen bei ausgewählten Maßnahmen eingeschätzt werden, wie etwa durch Infrastrukturabstimmung und -rückbau, Reformen bei Transfers zwischen den Ebenen, durch Reduktion freiwilliger Leistungen. Aber auch die Erschließung neuer sozial-ökologisch effektiver und gerechter Einnahmen wird behandelt. Impulskonferenz: *Konsolidierung im Bundesstaat - Können wir uns Konsolidierung leisten? Zwischen Muss und Machbarkeit* Termin: *05.11.2025, 13:00 – 17:30 Uhr* Ort: *TUtheSky der TU Wien* (Getreidemarkt 9, 1060 Wien) und online Nähere Informationen sind im beiliegenden Tagungsprogramm enthalten. Zur Anmeldung geht es hier: https://www.kdz.eu/de/impulskonferenz_2025 Bitte reichen Sie die Einladung auch an interessierte Kolleginnen und Kollegen weiter. (Teilnahme ist kostenlos!) Beste Grüße, Peter Biwald (KDZ), Michael Getzner (TU Wien)
