Postdoctoral researcher on Macroeconomics, Finance and the Environment (WU Vienna)
by Campiglio, Emanuele 10 May '17

10 May '17

Dear moderators, I would like to circulate the following job opening as part of your mailing list: -- Position: Postdoctoral researcher on Macroeconomics, Finance and the Environment The Institute for Ecological Economics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) is currently inviting applications for a fulltime post-doc position. This employee position will be limited to a period of one year (additional funding opportunities might arise in the near future so to extend the contract to a longer period), starting on October 1st, 2017 (commencement date subject to change, we are flexible and will consider different starting dates should the successful candidate require it). The post holder will contribute to an ongoing international programme called 'Mistra Financial Systems' (MFS), funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research (Mistra). The aim of MFS - now in its second of four years - is to explore the links between the financial system and environmental sustainability. The Institute of Ecological Economics is leading one of the five MFS work packages, 'Green Macro'. The objective of the Green Macro project is to develop economic modelling and analysis studying the dynamics links between macroeconomic, financial and environmental systems, with particular reference to the transition to a low-carbon economic system. The project will develop an empirical macroeconomic model calibrated to the Swedish economy, as well as a series of smaller models investigating specific research questions connected to stranded assets (physical and financial), climate mitigation policies (fiscal, macroprudential, monetary) and secular stagnation. The post holder will also be invited to contribute to the writing of grant proposals that, when successful, might provide funding to extend the post-doc position to a period longer than one year. This position does not involve any teaching. Further information and submission here: https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ecolecon/institute/job-offers/. The deadline for applications is the 31st of May. -- Many thanks! All the best, Emanuele --------- Dr. Emanuele Campiglio | Assistant Professor - Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) | Visiting Fellow - London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) | Address: Welthandelsplatz 1/D5, Room 3.048 - 1020 Vienna, Austria | Tel: 0043(0)1313366032 | Personal website<http://sites.google.com/site/ecampiglio>

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen! Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Wir freuen uns, Sie am 18. Mai 2017 zu folgender Veranstaltung einladen zu dürfen: „Verhaltensexperimente: Neue Evidenz für die Gesundheitspolitik?“ (http://www.athea.at/conferences/) Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Das ATHEA-Team [cid:image001.png@01CF9C58.2BC464E0] Einladung Verhaltensexperimente: Neue Evidenz für die Gesundheitspolitik? Impulsvortrag & Podiumsdiskussion Wien, 18. Mai 2017, 16:00 Uhr Das Verhalten von Menschen in Sozialen Systemen prägt die gesellschaftlichen und individuellen Ergebnisse entscheidend. Zu verstehen, weshalb Menschen Handlungen setzen und auf welche Anreize sie reagieren, kann daher eine Quelle von Evidenz für politische Entscheidungen sein. Auch im Bereich der Gesundheitsökonomie haben Experimente stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Da der Markt hier oft nicht gut funktioniert, muss der Staat an vielen Stellen regulierend eingreifen. Doch gerade eben diese Eingriffe setzen Anreize für Verhaltensänderungen. Deshalb erscheint es wichtig, die Auswirkungen von Maßnahmen auch in Experimenten abzuschätzen. In einem Impulsvortrag wird Professor Wiesen von der Universität zu Köln einen Überblick über Experimente in der Gesundheitsökonomie geben und diese anhand seiner eigenen Forschung illustrieren. In einer anschließenden Podiumsdiskussion wollen wir der Frage nachgehen, welche Bedeutung die Ergebnisse solcher Experimente als Entscheidungsunterstützung für die Gesundheitspolitik haben könnten. Was kann die Forschung hier leisten? Was braucht die Gesundheitspolitik von der Forschung? Was braucht die Forschung von der Politik? Impulsvortrag: o Prof. Dr. Daniel Wiesen, Professor, Universität zu Köln Zu diesen Fragen diskutieren: o SR Mag. Richard Gauss, Geschäftsführer des Wiener Gesundheitsfonds, Abteilungsleiter Magistratsabteilung 24 Gesundheits- und Sozialplanung, Stadt Wien o Dr. Martin Gleitsmann, Abteilungsleiter Sozialpolitik und Gesundheit, Wirtschaftskammer Österreich o Mag.a Dr.in Andrea Wesenauer, Direktorin, Oberösterreichische Gebietskrankenkasse o Prof. Dr. Daniel Wiesen, Professor, Universität zu Köln Zeit: 18. Mai 2017, 16:00 Uhr Ort: Institut für Höhere Studien (IHS), Josefstädterstraße 39, 1080 Wien Anmeldung: Die Teilnahme an der Veranstaltung ist kostenlos, wir bitte um Anmeldung an athea(a)athea.at<mailto:athea@athea.at> bis spätestens 15. Mai 2017. ___________________________________________ Austrian Health Economics Association (ATHEA) Josefstädter Straße 39 ● 1080 Wien web: www.athea.at<http://www.athea.at/> ● e-mail: athea(a)athea.at<mailto:athea@athea.at>

[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, May 18, 2017 University of Vienna, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz 1, 1090 Vienna, VGSE seminar room, 3rd floor 1:15 pm Heski Bar-Isaac<https://sites.google.com/site/heskibarisaac/home> University of Toronto Adverse selection, efficiency and the structure of information, with application to labour markets We explore how the structure of public and private information impact on efficiency and adverse selection in Akerlof's (1970) Lemons model, extended to admit a matching component. Adverse selection is defined quantitatively as the difference in expected value of those who trade compared to the population at large, conditional on public information. In our employer learning context, this is also the amount by which wages are depressed by asymmetric information. For a fixed information structure, efficiency and adverse selection are co-monotone. Both depend on the realisation of information only through its effect on the public expectation of the worker's match with the current employer, with adverse selection increasing and efficiency decreasing in this variable. Instead, comparing different information structures can allow expected adverse selection and efficiency both to increase. More generally, we parameterize Gaussian information structures and characterise the extent of adverse selection and efficiency that they can achieve. Under natural conditions, average wages are higher for the workers who leave than are retained when adverse selection is imposed (approximately) efficiently. (joint work with Ian Jewitt and Clare Leaver) We are looking forward to seeing you!

We construct a two-ladder equilibrium model of a frictional labor market capturing these flows: workers search both on and off the job, and receive business ideas while in any of the three states: self-, paid employment and unemployment. We study this model in an environment with aggregate shocks, which affect both the productivity of matches in the paid-employment sector, and the profitability of ideas for the self-employed. We parametrize it to see how well it can quantitatively account for observed patterns over the business cycle. These allow us to have a notion of entry into self- employment by "opportunity" (highly profitable ideas), and "necessity" (lack of alternatives in paid employment), and how these vary over the business cycle, and to quantify "prosperity pull" of self-employment in good times, and "recession push" in bad times.
