OeNB - Invititation to VOSTA-Seminar - 27th April 2016
by Event-Management 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Dear Sir or Madam, We hereby would like to invite you to the upcoming VOSTA-Seminar with the title "Die Bank. Das Geld. Der Staat." Central Banking in Austria, 1816-2016 Date Wednesday, April 27th, 2016 at 3 p.m. Location Oesterreichische Nationalbank Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Vienna Veranstaltungssaal, Ground Floor Abstract Caught up in the costly Napoleonic wars, Austria went into sovereign default in 1811. Five years on, the public authorities founded a national bank to be financed and run by private shareholders, the idea being that an independent bank would help rebuild trust in money. During the 200 years that followed, the Nationalbank emerged from the treasury's banker of choice into a central bank, and from a private stock corporation into a public institution. Yet the challenges facing today's Nationalbank are a surprising echo of the past. At the occasion of this year's bicentennial, Clemens Jobst and Hans Kernbauer have undertaken to trace the monetary history of Austria, from the Nationalbank's predecessor, the Wiener Stadtbanco, to Austria's integration into the euro area today. In the presentation they will explain their approach to the Bank's history. The book has been published in German as well as in an English translation under the title "The Quest for Stable Money." Program · Introduction Doris Ritzberger-Grünwald (OeNB) · Presentation of the book Clemens Jobst (OeNB) und Hans Kernbauer (Economics University Vienna) · Comments Marc Flandreau (Graduate Institute Geneva) We ask you to reply by the latest of Monday, April 25th, 2016. We are looking forward to your participation and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Yours faithfully, Event-Management ________________________ Oesterreichische Nationalbank Abteilung für Öffentlichkeitsarbeit Communications Division Event-Management Phone: +43-1-404 20-6620 Fax: +43-1-404 20-6697 E-Mail: event-management(a)oenb.at<mailto:event-management@oenb.at> OeNB 1816-2016 - informieren Sie sich über 200 Jahre Stabilität und Sicherheit 200 Jahre OeNB<http://www.oenb.at/200JahreOeNB> Diese E-Mail kann vertrauliche Informationen enthalten und irrtümlich an Sie gelangt sein.

Offener Brief: AHS-Lehrbuch mit Christian Felber
by Crespo Cuaresma, Jesus 07 Apr '16

07 Apr '16

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, Mit großer Verwunderung haben wir festgestellt, dass in einem Schulbuch Christian Felber als Wirtschaftstheoretiker in eine Riege mit John Maynard Keynes, Karl Marx, Milton Friedman und Friedrich August von Hayek gestellt wird. Die Auswahl einer Person, die über keine ökonomische Ausbildung verfügt und keine wissenschaftlichen Publikationen aufweist, stellt einen Affront für alle (österreichischen) Wirtschaftsforscher dar. Wir sind der Auffassung, dass eine solche Darstellung für ein Schulbuch nicht adäquat ist und organisieren daher einen offenen Brief an das Bildungsministerium, in dem wir eine objektivere und differenziertere Darstellung einfordern. Wenn ihr diese Initiative unterstützen wollt, dann bitten wir euch, uns eine einfache Rückmeldung mit Namen/Institut bis Sonntag, 10. April zu geben (Email Adresse: jcrespo(a)wu.ac.at) Im Anhang befindet sich der Text zum offenen Brief an die Bildungsministerin sowie der Auszug aus dem Lehrbuch Geospots für die Oberstufe. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Badinger Harald Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien Berger Ulrich Univ.-Prof. Dr. Dr. Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien Böheim Rene Dr. Johannes Kepler Universität Linz Crespo Cuaresma Jesus Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien Fritz Oliver Dr. WIFO Fürnkranz-Prskawetz Alexia Univ.-Prof. Dr. Technische Universität Wien Gugler Klaus Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien Hof Franz X.

Amit Bhaduri: Inequality and Power
by Altzinger, Wilfried 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Amit Bhaduri will deliver two lectures next week in Vienna [cid:image001.png@01D18C7A.00117D60] [cid:image002.png@01D18C7A.00117D60] Amit Bhaduri Power, Inequality and Economic Policy Friday, April 8, 2016, 1.30 pm AK Wien, Bürogebäude 2, Vortragssaal, 6. Stock, Plößlgasse 2, 1040 Vienna The lecture is organized in cooperation with AK Wien. Please register not later than Friday, March 25, 2016 via e-mail to: daniela.paraskevaidis(a)akwien.at<mailto:daniela.paraskevaidis@akwien.at>. Abstract Power is the organising principle of inequality, be it of income, wealth, gender, race, religion or region. In mainstream economic theory, interactions among rational isolated individuals are connected to one another only through prices and quantities in the market. For those brought up in this intellectual tradition, this has set a mildly dissident research agenda for analysing 'market failures', and how wrong prices get set. However, the debate between market fundamentalists and those who allow for the possibility of price failures under various characterisations of imperfect information (e.g. moral hazard, asymmetric information, adverse selection etc.) touches tangentially, but does not really face the question of economic power. At the abstract level institutions are social devices put in place not just to routinize actions, but to reduce the options or strategy sets of some and to expand that of others. More than anything else, the analysis of economic power is the analysis of institutions and their reinforcing ideologies. The lecture tries to illustrate this with two examples of guiding economic policies, one from a developed (USA) and one from a developing (India) capitalism. Amit Bhaduri Inequality and Power Monday, April 11, 2016, 6.00 pm WU Wien, Festsaal 2 https://www.wu.ac.at/economics/vw-zentrum/events/bevorstehende-veranstaltun… *************************************** For those who cannot join the lectures (or want to get prepared) watch his lecture at the Tufts University on March 10 where he did receive the Leontief Price 2016 jointly with Diane Elison: Development & Equity Dr. Bhaduri's lecture focused on issues of power in economics. He questioned the ideas of the "mutual dependence" of labor and capital and "market equilibrium" in an efficient market. He stressed the necessity of equality in order to achieve true mutual dependence, otherwise the mutual nature of the relationship falls apart. Bhaduri also spoke on the history of banking regulation in the United States and development and growth strategies in India.

wiiw-FIW-Seminar in International Economics, 14 April 2016
by wiiw WIENER INSTITUT 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the wiiw-FIW-Seminar in International Economics on Thursday, April 14th, 4 pm wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, Library (2nd floor) SWIMMING UPSTREAM: Input-Output Linkages and the Direction of Product Adoption Johannes Boehm (with Swati Dhingra and John Morrow) SciencesPo Paris Abstract Multiproduct firms dominate production, and their product turnover contributes substantially to aggregate growth. Firms continually adapt their product mix, but what determines which products firms expand into? Theories of the firm propose that multiproduct firms choose to make products which need the same know-how or inputs that can't be bought `off the shelf'. We empirically examine this rationale by testing for firm-level capabilities that are shared across products and manifested through input-output (IO) linkages. We show that a firm's idiosyncratic horizontal and vertical similarity to a product's IO structure predicts product adoption. Using product-specific policy changes for a firm's inputs and outputs, we show that input linkages are the most important, suggesting that firms' product capabilities depend more on economies of scope rather than product market complementarities. Keywords: Multiproduct firms, product adoption, vertical linkages, horizontal linkages JEL Classification: L1, L2, M2, O3 After the seminar there will be the opportunity for the speaker and the audience for further discussions, accompanied by drinks and snacks. This seminar series is an activity in the framework of FIW ('Forschungsschwerpunkt Internationale Wirtschaft'), which is a project designed to build a center of excellence in research on International Economics, funded by the Austrian Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW). The seminar programme is regularly updated.
