REMINDER: wiiw seminar 'Policy Perspectives for European Integration', 21 February 2017
by wiiw Events (noeg) 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

[http://wiiw.ac.at] Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the WIIW SEMINAR 'POLICY PERSPECTIVES FOR EUROPEAN INTEGRATION' on TUESDAY, 21 FEBRUARY 2017, 5:00 PM wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, LECTURE HALL (entrance from the ground floor) INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS TO ACHIEVE BALANCED GROWTH & CONVERGENCE IN THE EURO AREA ANDREW WATT Head of the Macroeconomic Policy Institute (IMK) Department of the Hans-Böckler Foundation, Düsseldorf Abstract Current account imbalances were at the heart of the crisis that engulfed the monetary union in the wake of the global financial crisis. Unlike in a federal state, current account imbalances matter in an "unfinished" monetary union. A stable monetary union requires a framework to limit imbalances and promote sustainable growth, avoiding the problem of "rotating slumps". Since the crisis some steps have been taken to address the issue, notably the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure (MIP). The MIP is, however, asymmetric, focusing on adjustment in deficit countries. A more symmetric resolution and avoidance of imbalances would also need to address the fiscal rules, which focus narrowly on deficit limitation, which is inimical to sustained and balanced growth. In the absence of a major breakthrough towards federalized economic policymaking, a path forward is needed that as far as possible builds on existing institutions. A proposal is made to reactivate the Broad Economic Policy Guidelines, broaden the remit of the advisory Productivity Boards to encompass the entire policy mix, and strengthen the Macroeconomic Dialogue, notably by establishing MEDs at national and Eurozone level. WE KINDLY ASK YOU TO REGISTER [http://wiiw.ac.at/institutional-reforms-to-achieve-balanced-growth-converge…] FOR THE EVENT. PARTICIPATION IS FREE OF CHARGE.

Summer School Efficiency and Productivity Analysis 3-14 July at Wageningen University
by Lansink, Alfons Oude 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

[cid:image001.png@01D28642.44303820] THEORY AND PRACTICE OF EFFICIENCY & PRODUCTIVITY MEASUREMENT: STATIC & DYNAMIC ANALYSIS Summer School for PhDs and Postdocs Wageningen University, the Netherlands Week 1: 3 - 7 July 2017 Parametric Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (Prof. Subal Kumbhakar and Prof. Chris Parmeter) The first week introduces Stochastic Frontier Analysis to measure efficiency and productivity by letting the data span the frontier to establish best practice. This approach coupled with the microeconomic theory of the firm provides firm-specific measurements of efficiency and best practice role models for improving performance. Week 2: 10- 14 July 2017 DEA and Dynamic Efficiency and Productivity Analysis (Prof. Spiro Stefanou and Prof. Alfons Oude Lansink) The second week introduces the students into Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and the dynamic perspective to measuring efficiency and productivity. DEA is a nonparametric technique for measuring efficiency and productivity. The technique does not require distributional assumptions on the efficiency term and is a flexible approach that can be applied to many situations. Dynamic efficiency and productivity analysis is a relatively new approach that has found a more wide application the economics literature. The approach explicitly accounts for the role of adjustment costs in investments. Registration Procedure: Participants may enroll for either week 1 or 2, or both weeks. Although each week is independent, participants are encouraged to take both weeks. Register via the website: http://www.wass.wur.nl/UK/courses/registration/ Course Fees 450 Euros per week, or 950 euros for those registering for both weeks.

The large overlap between these outcomes allow the basic labor market patterns to be explained by either sector- or occupation-specific technological change. Yet distinguishing these two potential drivers is important as their implications differ for certain outcomes and for evaluating policies. In this paper we use a parsimonious model to extract sector-occupation specific technological change from the data. Using a factor model we decompose these changes into sector only and occupation only components, and show that both play a role. Finally we use our model to generate counterfactual series to gauge the importance of sector specific and occupation specific technological change on relative wages, sectoral value added shares and sector-occupation employment shares.

REMINDER: wiiw-FIW-Seminar in International Economics, 16 February 2017
by wiiw Events (noeg) 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

[http://wiiw.ac.at] [http://fiw.ac.at] Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the WIIW-FIW-SEMINAR IN INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS on THURSDAY, 16 FEBRUARY 2017, 4:00 PM wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna COLLATERAL EFFECT OF GREEN PUBLIC PROCUREMENT VERA DANILINA Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE), France The presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Federico Trionfetti (Aix-Marseille University (Aix-Marseille School of Economics), CNRS and EHESS, France). ABSTRACT Green Public Procurement (GPP), or green purchasing, entered the global agenda in the early 2000s while the majority of national programmes was launched already ten years earlier. Their implementation discloses a wide range of contradictory economic consequences. Our research is focused on the GPP welfare effects in autarky and upon trade integration across eco-heterogeneous countries. We introduce the public procurement analysis approach into the heterogeneous firms setting aiming to model the life-cycle based GPP programmes that account for the environmental quality of the whole production process. The designed framework shows the collateral effect of green purchasing based on the resources redistribution across industries and average productivity changes. It also allows to study the welfare effects conditionally on the type of the GPP policy in closed and open economy settings. Our research contributes to a relatively scarce literature on environment and trade with heterogeneous rms proposing a new approach to the GPP modelling. The paper also provides a set of policy recommendations that can be of particular interest due to the development of eco-labelling and environmental standards, and corresponding GPP programmes.
