Dear all, Homi Kharas<https://www.brookings.edu/people/homi-kharas/> will present his work on the middle class on March 27 at 17:00 at the Vienna University of Economics and Business in an event organized by the Department of Economics. Homi Kharas has been a senior fellow and deputy director for the global economy and development program at the Brookings Institution since 2005. He served for seven years as chief economist for the World Bank's East Asia and Pacific region and famously developed the concept of "middle income traps" together with Indermit Gill. In addition, he was the lead author and executive secretary of the secretariat supporting the High-Level Panel advising United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on the Post-2015 Development Agenda (2012-2013). The report, A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through Sustainable Development"was the basis for the development of the Sustainable Development Goals.

He examines whether it can sustain its growth or succumb to the pressures of automation, environmental challenges, and political turmoil.

Economic Theory & Policy Seminar / H. Fadinger (Uni Wien) / Industrial Policy in Supply Chains and Directed Technological Change: Evidence from Rare Earths
by Hutter, Julia 04 Mar '25

04 Mar '25

Dear all, we kindly invite you to our next Economic Theory and Policy Seminar Talk on Monday, March 10, 2025, 4:00 PM - TU Wien, Seminarroom: DB gelb 04 (Freihaus Building, 4th floor, yellow area) "Industrial Policy in Supply Chains and Directed Technological Change: Evidence from Rare Earths" Harald Fadinger (University of Vienna) https://www.vwl.uni-mannheim.de/fadinger/ Industrial policies, traditionally aimed at boosting the competitiveness of protected sectors, can inadvertently drive productivity growth in downstream sectors abroad. We document this mechanism using the case of rare earth elements (REE) – critical inputs for manufacturing and the green transformation, with production highly concentrated in China. To assess the importance of REE across industries, we construct an input-output table incorporating individual REE inputs. Using data on REE-related patents classified by a large language model and sectoral TFP, we show that the introduction of REE export restrictions by China led to a global surge in innovation in REE-intensive downstream sectors outside of China. Additionally, exports by these sectors increased, following the adverse REE supply shock. To rationalize these findings and quantify the global impact of the Chinese REE policies, we develop a quantitative general equilibrium model of trade and directed technological change. Under endogenous technologies, input-supply restrictions shift the direction of innovation in downstream sectors toward scarce inputs when inputs are gross complements, which can lead to the expansion of these sectors.

WU Economics Research Seminar, 12.3.2025, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Mario Liebensteiner (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg)
by Oberhofer, Harald 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, March 12th, with Mario Liebensteiner (FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg) on "Mitigating Load Shedding in South Africa: The Role of Intermittent Renewable Energy" Abstract: Our study examines the role of renewable energy in mitigating load shedding in South Africa, where electricity often falls short of demand. Using an instrumental variables approach, we find that each additional MWh of wind power reduces load shedding by up to 0.73 MWh but rarely closes the supply-demand gap. Solar power helps during peak periods despite misalignment at other times. Our estimates show that renewable energy investments have benefits that outweigh costs by approximately one order of magnitude, outperforming coal and nuclear power investments. Date: Wednesday, March 12th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, D4.0.144<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.0.144> With best regards, Harald Oberhofer --- Univ.-Prof. Dr. Harald Oberhofer Department of Economics WU Vienna University of Economics and Business Phone: +43/1/31336-4984 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wu.ac.at> https://www.wu.ac.at/en/economics/people/oberhofer-h Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) Phone: +43/1/7982601-468 Email: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer
