Reminder: WU Economic Research Seminar 6.6.18, Fabian Kosse (University of Bonn)

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, June 6, with Fabian Kosse (University of Bonn) on "The Formation of Prosociality: Causal Evidence on the Role of Social Environment" Abstract: This study presents descriptive and causal evidence on the role of social environment for the formation of prosociality. In a first step, we show that socioeconomic status (SES) as well as the intensity of mother-child interaction and mothers' prosocial attitudes are systematically related to elementary school children's prosociality. In a second step, we present evidence on a randomly- assigned variation of the social environment, providing children with a mentor for the duration of one year. Our data include a two-year follow-up and reveal a significant and persistent increase in prosociality in the treatment relative to the control group. Moreover, enriching the social environment bears the potential to close the observed gap in prosociality between low and high SES children. A mediation analysis of the observed treatment effect suggests that prosociality develops in response to stimuli in the form of prosocial role models and intense social interactions. Time and place: Wednesday, June 6, 4.30 - 6.00 p.m., Campus WU, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, building D4, 2nd floor, Department meeting room 2.008.

INVITATION: The EU-CEE countries and the European sex trade, 14 June 2018

View this email in your browser [https://wiiw.ac.at/files/mailings/event-201805300905-en.html] Dear colleague, we cordially invite you to the following event: THE EU-CEE COUNTRIES AND THE EUROPEAN SEX TRADE RÉKA KINGA PAPP Media researcher, journalist and performer, Budapest THURSDAY, 14 JUNE 2018, 5:00 PM (17:00 CEST) wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, lecture hall (entrance from the ground floor) EU-CEE countries are major players in the European domestic sex trade, not only as host countries of exploitative sex tourism and suppliers of domestic ‘clients’, but also as providers of a majority of labour force in Western European countries’ sex markets. An intensive course of gentrification in several urban regions of the EU-CEE countries produced an ever expanding housing crisis. As housing costs skyrocket, many locals are forced out of their original fields of labour or neighbourhoods, which is one important reason for ending up on the sex market of their home countries or those of the West. Local legislations tend to burden sex workers with difficulties, threatening them with excessive fining, persecution and the possibility of forcing their children into state care. While Western tabloid discourses suggest eastern morals are disrupting their cultures, in reality there are a series of social troubles in the background of the booming sex industry. ...more [https://wiiw.ac.at/the-eu-cee-countries-and-the-european-sex-trade-e-387.ht…] WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-387.html] for the event.

DTTs cannot be considered a bilateral issue, but must be viewed as a network, since FDI can ﬂow from home to host country through one or more conduit countries. Accounting for treaty shopping, we calculate the shortest (i.e. the cheapest) tax distance between any two countries allowing the corporate income to be channeled through intermediate jurisdictions. We consider the relevance of tax treaties vis-à-vis the domestic law and the entire tax treaties network and show that tax treaties that reduce the direct tax distance, both against domestic law and the entire existing treaty network, will increase FDI. Such a relevant treaty will increase direct FDI by roughly 20%. The effect increases with reductions in the direct tax cost and we can quantify this effect at almost 8% for a 10-percentage-point tax reduction below the minimum rate in the network. We also ﬁnd that a treaty can lead to more direct FDI if the cheaper route is complicated and involves more than one conduit country. ...more [https://wiiw.ac.at/on-the-relevance-of-double-tax-treaties-e-386.html] WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-386.html] for the event.

Mai 2018, 15:00 Uhr wiiw Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna Michael Huberman Université de Montréal, Canada Abstract We study the effect of changes in domestic, regional, and international (transatlantic) trade costs on the competition between foreign and domestic manufacturers in interwar Brazil. In the great wave of globalization before 1914, international transport costs were low and domestic trade costs high. The interwar period saw a reversal: international trade costs spiked and the Brazilian state intervened to eliminate internal barriers. As the domestic market integrated, manufacturers, increasingly concentrated in the São Paulo region, extended their reach. Our claim is that the movement in trade costs provides a more compelling explanation of the emergence of domestic manufacture, its location and expansion, than does heightened tariff protection or accommodating exchange-rate policy.

The interwar period saw a reversal: international trade costs spiked and the Brazilian state intervened to eliminate internal barriers. As the domestic market integrated, manufacturers, increasingly concentrated in the São Paulo region, extended their reach. Our claim is that the movement in trade costs provides a more compelling explanation of the emergence of domestic manufacture, its location and expansion, than does heightened tariff protection or accommodating exchange-rate policy. ...more [https://wiiw.ac.at/domestic-barriers-to-internal-and-international-trade-ne…] WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-390.html] for the event.
