Reminder: Event of the Sonnenfels Center, December 18, 16 hours
by wolfgang.weigel＠univie.ac.at 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Madam, Sir, dear members May I remind you of the last event of this year On Monday, December 18, 2017 Bernhard Ganglmair The University of Texas at Dallas speaks about "The Effect of Patent Litigation Insurance: Evidence from NPEs" (joint work with Christian Helmers, Brian Love, and Shawn Miller) * Abstract infra 16.00 - 18.00 hours Venue: Seminar 31, Law School (Juridicum), Schottenbastei 10-14, 1010 Vienna (entrance from Hessgasse) Followed by traditional Advent punch For the sake of planning your registration is apprechiated at sonnenfels.economics(a)univie.ac.at <mailto:sonnenfels.economics@univie.ac.at> Wolfgang Weigel ABSTRACT: "We analyze the extent to which private defensive litigation insurance deters patent assertion by non-practicing entities (NPEs). We do so by studying the effect that a patent-specific insurance product, offered by a leading litigation insurer, had on the litigation behavior of insured patents' owners, all of which are NPEs. We first model the impact of defensive litigation insurance on the behavior of patent enforcers and accused infringers. Next, we empirically evaluate the insurance policy's effect on the owners of insured patents by comparing their subsequent assertion of insured patents with their subsequent assertion of other patents they own that were not included in the policy. We additionally compare the assertion of insured patents with patents held by other NPEs with portfolios that were entirely excluded from the insurance product. Our findings suggest that the introduction of this insurance policy had a large, negative effect on the likelihood that a patent included in the policy was subsequently asserted, and our results are robust across all control groups that we constructed. Our results have importance for ongoing debates on the need to reform the U.S. and European patent systems, and suggest that market-based mechanisms can deter so-called "patent trolling."

Reminder: WU Economic Research Seminar 13.12.2017, Klaus Nowotny (Universität Salzburg)
by Oberhofer, Harald 12 Dec '17

12 Dec '17

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economic Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, December 13, with Klaus Nowotny (Universität Salzburg) on "Informal, formal, or both? Assessing the drivers of home care utilization in Austria" Abstract: Understanding the relation between different types of long-term care (LTC) and the determinants of individual choice of LTC types is fundamental for efficient policy making in times of aging societies. However, empirical research on this issue has revealed both national and methodological factors as crucial for the policy conclusions drawn. The present paper is, at least to our knowledge, the first comprehensive assessment of this kind for Austria and extends the scarce literature explicitly by focusing on the combined use of informal and formal care in addition to the exclusive use of these services based on an econometric framework accounting for the interdependencies in these types of LTC. Our results provide strong evidence for a task-specific and complementary relation of formal and informal home care in Austria, with the health status and functional limitations as the main determinants of individual choice. Place and time: Wednesday, December 13, 3.30 - 5.00 p.m., Campus WU, Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, building D4, 2nd floor, Department meeting room 2.008 With best regards, Harald Oberhofer --- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Harald Oberhofer Institute for International Economics WU Vienna University of Economics and Business Phone: +43/1/31336-4984 Fax: +43/1/31336-4984 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wu.ac.at> Webpage: https://www.wu.ac.at/ie/mitarbeiter/harald-oberhofer/ Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) Phone: +43/1/7982601-468 Fax: +43/1/7989386 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer

[cid:image002.png@01CEBF6B.D0B28790] VIENNA JOINT ECONOMICS SEMINAR INVITATION The University of Vienna and the Institute for Advanced Studies cordially invite you to the following Vienna Joint Economics Seminar <http://www.ihs.ac.at/vienna/resources/Economics/Papers/20130226_Paper_Zimme…> Thursday, December 14, 2017 University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna, VGSE seminar room, 3rd floor 1:15 pm Frederik Herzberg<http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/imw/members/researchers/herzberg.html> (U Bielefeld) Expertise vs. unanimity, anonymity vs. linearity: News from probabilistic opinion pooling Abstract: The problem of aggregating (i.e. "merging" or "pooling") probabilistic opinions has been studied for several decades (e.g. McConway 1981, Lehrer & Wagner 1981). A new direction in this research program is the connection with the recent literature on (binary logical) judgement aggregation theory (survey: List & Puppe 2009). In this paper, we shall first generalise the classical results on linear probabilistic opinion pools to the case of infinite (both countably and uncountably) electorates. We will see that the existence of aggregation rules satisfying certain desiderata is independent from the axioms of standard mathematics (Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory with Choice). In the second part of the talk, we will provide a probabilistic version of the famous paradox of a Paretian liberal (Sen 1970): If one seeks an aggregation rule with universal domain for entangled decision problems, one has to choose between following expertise and respecting unanimity. We are looking forward to seeing you!

REMINDER: FIW-wiiw Seminars in International Economics, 11 December 2017

While the theoretical literature broadly suggests a positive impact, the empirical verification of this relationship is complicated by the well-known problem of endogeneity. A relatively new approach to overcome this limitation is the synthetic control method (SCM), which compares the post-liberalisation GDP trajectory of a country that liberalised with the trajectory of a combination of similar economies that did not liberalise. Although this method is widely praised for being data-driven, transparent and less prone to specification searching, it has recently come under heavy criticism for actually failing to meet any of these criteria. The aim of this study is, therefore, to reassess the trade-income-relationship in light of the current debate on the possibilities and limitations of SCM, and to extend earlier studies by estimating the average effect of liberalisation for different groups of countries. ...more [https://wiiw.ac.at/reassessing-the-gains-from-trade-liberalisation-using-th…] WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [https://wiiw.ac.at/bc-e-er-370.html] for the event.
