However, SBTC cannot explain within-group wage inequality in the US. This paper provides an explanation for the observed intra-college group inequality by showing that the top decile earners' significant wage growth is underpinned by the link between ex ante ability, math-heavy college majors and highly quantitative occupations. We develop a general equilibrium model with multiple education outcomes, where wages are driven by individuals' ex ante abilities and acquired math skills. A large portion of within-group and general wage inequality is explained by math-biased technical change (MBTC). paper jointly with Andrew Rendall and Pareto Efficient Income Taxation with Learning by Doing<https://www.ihs.ac.at/fileadmin/public/ecofin_teaching/Seminars/20151112_Ma…> (Marek Kapicka) Abstract: I study the Pareto efficient income taxation in a Mirrlees economy with human capital formation. I provide a general framework for analyzing the problem, show that human capital formation effectively makes preferences nonseparable over labor supply, and derive a tax formula that holds in any efficient allocation. I compare it with the optimal tax formula in a Ramsey economy, and show that they differ because the Ramsey planner does not take into account dynamic changes in the earnings distribution. I show that a model with learning-by-doing, as well as a model with learning-or-doing are special cases of this framework, and compare their implications for the efficient tax structure. I show that in both models the optimal marginal tax rates decrease with age, despite the fact that both models respond differently to any given tax change. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Toru Kitagawa<http://www.homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~uctptk0/> University College London Who should be treated? Empirical welfare maximization methods for treatment choice<http://www.cemmap.ac.uk/publication/id/7624> Abstract: One of the main objectives of empirical analysis of experiments and quasi-experiments is to inform policy decisions that determine the allocation of treatments to individuals with different observable covariates. We propose the Empirical Welfare Maximization (EWM) method, which estimates a treatment assignment policy by maximizing the sample analog of average social welfare over a class of candidate treatment policies. The EWM approach is attractive in terms of both statistical performance and practical implementation in realistic settings of policy design. Common features of these settings include: (i) feasible treatment assignment rules are constrained exogenously for ethical, legislative, or political reasons, (ii) a policy maker wants a simple treatment assignment rule based on one or more eligibility scores in order to reduce the dimensionality of individual observable characteristics, and/or (iii) the proportion of individuals who can receive the treatment is a priori limited due to a budget or a capacity constraint. We show that when the propensity score is known, the average social welfare attained by EWM rules converges at least at n^(-1/2) rate to the maximum obtainable welfare uniformly over a minimally constrained class of data distributions, and this uniform convergence rate is minimax optimal. In comparison with this benchmark rate, we examine how the uniform convergence rate of the average welfare improves or deteriorates depending on the richness of the class of candidate decision rules, the distribution of conditional treatment effects, and the lack of knowledge of the propensity score. We provide an asymptotically valid inference procedure for the population welfare gain obtained by exercising the EWM rule. We offer easily implementable algorithms for computing the EWM rule and an application using experimental data from the National JTPA Study. Paper jointly with Aleksey Teteno We are looking forward to seeing you!

OeNB - Einladung zum VOSTA-Freitagsseminar - 20. November 2015
by Event-Management 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Anbei übermitteln wir Ihnen die Einladung zu einem VOSTA-Freitagsseminar von Roberto Chang, Rutgers University, mit dem Titel "Financial Frictions and Unconventional Monetary Policy in Emerging Economies" Termin Freitag, 20. November 2015, 11.00 Uhr Ort Oesterreichische Nationalbank Garnisongasse 15, 1090 Wien Veranstaltungssaal Geldzentrum, 3. Stock, OeNB II Abstract This paper discusses conventional and unconventional monetary policies in a dynamic small open economy model with financial frictions. In the model, financial intermediaries or banks borrow from the world market and lend to domestic households. The external debt of banks is limited by a multiple of their equity; in turn, households hold equity in banks subject to a limit, reflecting domestic frictions. As a result, there is an economy wide credit constraint determined by a combination of external and domestic frictions, and an endogenous interest rate spread arises. Financial frictions are shown to add amplification and persistence to exogenous shocks. Fixed exchange rates are contractionary and flexible exchange rates are expansionary (although less so in the presence of currency mismatches). Unconventional policies, including central bank direct credit, discount lending, and equity injections to banks, have real effects only if financial constraints bind. Because of bank leverage, central bank discount lending and equity injections are more effective than direct credit. Sterilized foreign exchange intervention is equivalent to one of the preceding operations. Unconventional policies are feasible only to the extent that the central bank holds a sufficient amount of international reserves. Um Ihre Rückmeldung ersuchen wir bis Mittwoch, 18.11.2015. Wir freuen uns auf Ihre Teilnahme und stehen für Fragen gerne zur Verfügung.

Reminder: Global Economy Lecture with Kaushik Basu on 16 November 2015
by wiiw WIENER INSTITUT 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Ladies and Gentlemen, We cordially invite you to the Global Economy Lecture 2015 Kaushik Basu Chief Economist and Senior Vice President World Bank "Globalization and the art of designing policy" Monday, November 16, 2015, 4:00 pm Oesterreichische Nationalbank Otto-Wagner-Platz 3, 1090 Wien OeNB auditorium, ground floor The lecture is organized in cooperation with the OeNB. Abstract In his presentation, Professor Basu will address international spillovers of national economic policies in an economically strongly integrated world. Globalization has thrown a spanner in the way national policies are crafted. Whether it be a decision concerning quantitative easing in an EU economy, the hiking of rates by the U.S. Fed, fiscal policy design by India, or an exchange rate intervention by the People´s Bank of China - in today´s world, a critical element is the awareness that what you do will impact other countries and that in turn may cause a backlash which will come to have an impact on growth, employment and inflation in your own economy. This lecture will take examples from contemporary policy challenges in rich industrialized countries and also emerging economies to illustrate how we can design effective policy in this changed scenario. It will highlight some of the open challenges that we will no doubt have to confront in the coming years. Speaker Kaushik Basu is heading the World Bank´s Development Economics Vice Presidency, the premier research and data arm of the World Bank. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society and currently on leave from Cornell University, where he is Professor of Economics and C. Marks Professor of International Studies. He also taught at the Delhi School of Economics, Harvard, Princeton and MIT. Prior to his joining the World Bank, he served as Chief Economic Adviser to the Government of India. He received India´s Padma Bhushan award as well as the National Mahalanobis Memorial award.
