[cid:image002.png@01D14E17.2AB8E630][cid:image008.png@01D14E17.2AB8E630] JOINT VIENNA MACROECONOMICS SEMINAR INVITATION R E M I N D E R The Joint Vienna Institute and the Department of Economics and Finance at the Institute for Advanced Studies cordially invite you to the following Joint Vienna Macroeconomics Seminar <http://www.ihs.ac.at/vienna/resources/Economics/Papers/20130226_Paper_Zimme…> Tuesday, January 19, 2016 Institute for Advanced Studies Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna Lecture Room E02, ground floor 5:00 pm Pontus Rendahl<http://www.econ.cam.ac.uk/people/crsid.html?crsid=rpk22> University of Cambridge Unemployment (Fears) and Deflationary Spirals<https://goo.gl/eRWcNv> Abstract: The interaction of incomplete markets and sticky nominal wages is shown to magnify business cycles even though these two features - in isolation - dampen them. During recessions, fears of unemployment stir up precautionary sentiments which induces agents to save more. The additional savings may be used as investments in both a productive asset (equity) and an unproductive asset (money). But even a small rise in money demand has important consequences. The desire to hold money puts deflationary pressure on the economy, which, provided that nominal wages are sticky, increases wage costs and reduces firm profits. Lower profits repress the desire to save in equity, which increases (the fear of) unemployment, and so on. This is a powerful mechanism which causes the model to behave differently from both its complete markets version, and a version with incomplete markets but without aggregate uncertainty. In contrast to previous results in the literature, agents uniformly prefer non - trivial levels of unemployment insurance. Paper jointly with Wouter Den Haan and Markus Riegler We are looking forward to seeing you!

Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) Abstract This paper investigates interregional migration on a pan-EU level for the era immediately following the accession of new member states with relatively low income levels. It is shown that it is possible to account for spatial effects of interregional migration despite the lack of data on region-to-region migration flows. In the paper, a spatial model framework of interregional migration is developed that corresponds to a spatial lag of X model or, by inclusion of a spatial autocorrelation term, a spatial Durbin error model. The framework shows that within a system, a linear model of migration inevitably result in a function of net-migration which is based on a column-standardised weight matrix. A region's migration level is assumed to be simultaneously affected by determinants at home as well as in other regions, where the latter's influences decrease with distance. The specifications are subsequently applied to data on net-migration rates in 250 European NUTS2 regions over the period 2006-2008. The empirical results reveal a robust association between a region's net-migration rate and its relative location in space. Moreover, migration is driven by income opportunities, labour market conditions, economic growth, human capital endowments as well as temporarily imposed restrictions on the freedom of movement of workers.

wiiw seminar "Policy Perspectives for European Integration", 18 January 2016
by wiiw WIENER INSTITUT 11 Jan '16

Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the next wiiw seminar 'Policy Perspectives for European Integration' on Monday, 18 January 2016, 4 pm wiiw, Vienna 6, Rahlgasse 3, lecture hall (entrance from the ground floor) The Social Dimension of the EU and the EMU - the way forward László Andor Former EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion, currently at Corvinus University of Budapest and Hans Böckler Stiftung, Düsseldorf Abstract A strong social dimension is indispensable for the legitimacy of the EU. However, the social agenda of the EU has been defined in the Delors era, and it has been primarily focusing on social legislation. Together with cohesion instruments in the EU budget, social legislation has ensured that the single market does not lead to a polarisation among Member States and it makes real convergence possible. However, the establishment of a minimalist monetary union produced new types of financial and social risks, and the crisis of the EMU has resulted in massive divergence and a weakening of the national welfare systems. The financial crisis has produced an unprecedented social crisis, and it would be illusory to assume that the social agenda alone can compensate for the malfunctioning of the monetary union. It is the monetary union itself which needs to be reconstructed. All countries in the EU have the ambition to be welfare states in the sense of being able to control unemployment, poverty and income inequality. The eurozone crisis has severely damaged this capacity in countries of the eurozone periphery. Since the EMU controls most of the parameters that frame national welfare systems, and especially fiscal capacity, social policy cannot be a matter of subsidiarity either. The EU social agenda has to cover a wide spectrum of policies (policy coordination, legislation, budget resources) but today the key question is how to strengthen the social dimension of the EMU and counter social divergence.

Reminder: wiiw-FIW-Seminar in International Economics, 14 January 2016
by wiiw WIENER INSTITUT 11 Jan '16

Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to the wiiw-FIW-Seminar in International Economics on Thursday, January 14th, 4 pm wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna, lecture hall (ground floor) Interregional migration within the European Union in the aftermath of the Eastern enlargements: a spatial approach Sascha Sardadvar (with Rocha-Akis S.) Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU) Abstract This paper investigates interregional migration on a pan-EU level for the era immediately following the accession of new member states with relatively low income levels. It is shown that it is possible to account for spatial effects of interregional migration despite the lack of data on region-to-region migration flows. In the paper, a spatial model framework of interregional migration is developed that corresponds to a spatial lag of X model or, by inclusion of a spatial autocorrelation term, a spatial Durbin error model. The framework shows that within a system, a linear model of migration inevitably result in a function of net-migration which is based on a column-standardised weight matrix. A region´s migration level is assumed to be simultaneously affected by determinants at home as well as in other regions, where the latter´s influences decrease with distance. The specifications are subsequently applied to data on net-migration rates in 250 European NUTS2 regions over the period 2006-2008. The empirical results reveal a robust association between a region´s net-migration rate and its relative location in space. Moreover, migration is driven by income opportunities, labour market conditions, economic growth, human capital endowments as well as temporarily imposed restrictions on the freedom of movement of workers. Keywords: Interregional migration, Enlarged EU, Spatial econometrics, Column-standardised weight matrix JEL Classification: J61, R23, C21 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).
