REMINDER - [INEQ Research Seminar] Federica Braccioli, May 12 -- Education Expansion, College Choice and Labour Market Success
by Disslbacher, Franziska 07 May '25

07 May '25

Dear colleagues, We hereby invite you to join our next Economics of Inequality Research Seminar<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/outreach/ineq-research-seminar> at WU Vienna. Federica Braccioli<https://federicabraccioli.github.io/> (WU) will present the paper Education Expansion, College Choice and Labour Market Success Co-Authors: Paolo Ghinetti, Simone Moriconi, Costanza Naguib, Michele Pellizzar. Date and Time: Monday, May 12; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, D3 - D3.0.222<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D3.0.222>. Abstract We study the choice of acquiring STEM and non-STEM college education using variation induced by the proximity to universities offering different types of programs. We adopt a novel methodology allowing the identification of the distribution of response types and treatment effects in a multiple unordered discrete choice setting (Heckman and Pinto, 2018). The empirical analysis is based on confidential survey data for Italy, combined with administrative information about the founding dates of all Italian universities and faculties. We find that most compliers are women at the margin of choosing STEM education versus not going to college. We simulate the effects of expanding the supply of STEM education and discover that, in addition to substantial effects on employment, the gender disparity in STEM education could potentially decrease by up to 20%.

FW: Economic Theory & Policy Seminar / E. Adamopoulou (ZEW)/ The Long-term Earnings' Effects of a Credit Market Disruption
by Hutter, Julia 05 May '25

05 May '25

Dear all, we kindly invite you to our next Economic Theory & Policy talk on Mon, May 12, 2025, 4:00 PM - TU Wien, Seminarroom: DA green 04 (Freihaus Building, 4th floor, green area) Effronsyni (Efi) Adamopoulou (ZEW) https://sites.google.com/site/efiadamopoulou/home “The Long-term Earnings' Effects of a Credit Market Disruption” This paper studies the long-term consequences on firms and workers of the credit crunch triggered by the 2007-2008 global financial crisis. Relying on a unique matched bank-employer-employee administrative dataset, we construct a firm-specific credit supply shock and examine firms' and workers' outcomes for 11 years after the crisis. We find that highly-exposed firms shrink permanently and invest less; these effects are larger for high capital-intensive firms and their workers. Displaced workers reallocate mostly to low capital-intensive firms, experiencing persistent earnings losses.

WIC Colloquium, Wed, 21 May: Daniel Auer - Asparagus! Worker Shortages and Local Immigration Support

Asparagus! Worker Shortages and Local Immigration Support (with Gloria Gennaro and Tiziano Rotesi) Daniel Auer, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Turin, and University of Mannheim In summer semester, Daniel Auer is Lazarsfeld Professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Vienna. Abstract: Do peoples' attitudes towards immigration change when exposed to dramatic declines in the availability of immigrant labor? Swiss agricultural production relies heavily on foreign labor. However, the pandemic lockdown caused a shortage of foreign seasonal workers in the spring of 2020. We combine fine-grained voting results from referendums on restricting immigration with variation in seasonal worker needs. We establish that municipalities growing spring crops and, therefore, facing severe shortages of foreign labor in spring 2020, voted significantly more in favor of immigration in September 2020 compared to otherwise similar municipalities. Further, using text data from open-ended survey questions, we document how this shock popularized a narrative highlighting the role of foreign workers as complements to the local native ones rather than substitutes. We conclude that economic shocks can influence economic narratives and, ultimately, change attitudes toward immigration. About the presenter: Daniel Auer is Assistant Professor at the Collegio Carlo Alberto, Turin, Italy and fellow at the University of Mannheim's Center for European Social Research, Germany. In his research, he explores how societal attitudes, norms, and policies evolve and influence inequality among social groups. He further examines how these dynamics affect migration and integration, conflict, and individual preferences, with a focus on the interplay between inequality and social mobility. His studies appear in leading journals in Sociology, Political Science, and Economics. ********************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA **********************************************************************************

Maria Valderrama, Head of Monetary Policy Section, OeNB Ernest Gnan, Secretary General, SUERF – The European Money and Finance Forum [cid:image005.jpg@01DA9575.99B8D370] Invitation We have the pleasure of inviting you to the 52nd OeNB Annual Economic Conference in cooperation with SUERF, which the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) and SUERF will host as a hybrid event on May 22 and 23, 2025. This year's conference will focus on “Monetary policy and structural tectonic shifts”<https://www.oenb-events.at/en/52nd-oenb-annual-economic-conference-in-coope…>. In recent years, monetary policymakers worldwide have faced a series of profound shocks that have significantly reshaped economic structures and supply conditions. These challenges are set to persist, driven by a combination of both negative and positive factors: geopolitical risks, rising trade barriers, rapid technological advances - including breakthroughs in artificial intelligence -, climate change, the transition to sustainable energy systems, and shifting demographic and societal trends. These changes have far-reaching implications for productivity growth and labor markets. The interplay between these factors affects wages, relative prices and inflation, and overall economic stability. The role of monetary policy in navigating these complexities raises questions about how central banks can effectively respond to evolving conditions while safeguarding price stability and supporting sustainable economic growth and employment. This conference brings together policymakers, academics, and financial industry experts to discuss these issues. The first day will feature policy-oriented discussions to encourage analytical exchange between policymakers and academic researchers. The second day will offer a platform for presenting and discussing research in an academic format.

IHS Talk: Toni Whited

28 Apr '25

[https://7i0di.img.bh.d.sendibt3.com/im/sh/ekT7FbfXFkpc.png?u=1vcqsYC5HMzcSL…] IHS Talk Toni Whited (University of Michigan) The Efficiency of Patent Litigation May 19, 2025 3.00 pm to 4.30 pm Institute for Advanced Studies Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna Lecture Room E02 Abstract How efficient is the U.S. patent litigation system? Estimating a novel dynamic model, we characterize the litigation system's role in shaping innovation. In our model, heterogeneous firms innovate and may sue each other for patent infringement. In equilibrium, expected future litigation activity impacts firm innovation incentives. Moreover, some firms create positive innovation externalities while others impose negative externalities. Litigation reform can, therefore, improve or harm welfare, depending on how heterogeneous firms endogenously select into lawsuits. Estimating the model, we evaluate historical and recently proposed litigation reforms. Defendant-friendly reforms promote innovation and boost economic growth, improving welfare by up to 3.29%. Speaker Toni Whited is the Frederick G L Huetwell Professor and Professor of Economics at the University of Michigan. She received her B.A. in economics and French, summa cum laude, from the University of Oregon in 1984 and her Ph.D. in economics from Princeton in 1990, working with Ben Bernanke. Professor Whited taught in a wide variety of areas in finance, macroeconomics, and econometrics at the undergraduate, MBA, and doctoral levels. She has published over 40 articles in top-tier economics and finance journals. Her research covers topics such as the effects of financial frictions on corporate investment, econometric solutions for measurement error, corporate cash policy, structural estimation of dynamic models, monetary policy, and corporate diversification. She has won a Jensen Prize for one of the top articles in corporate finance in the Journal of Financial Economics and twice won a Brattle Prize for one of the top articles in the Journal of Finance in corporate finance. She is the past-president of the Western Finance Association, and she serves as editor-in-chief for the Journal of Financial Economics.
