WU Economics Research Seminar, 25.2.2025, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Alon Eizenberg (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem)
by Oberhofer, Harald 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Tuesday, February 25th, with Alon Eizenberg (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) on " Green Subsidies and Information Provision in the Automobile Market" Abstract: Both monetary incentives and information provision may be used to stir consumers towards less polluting products. This paper quantifies the effect of both channels in the context of a green subsidy reform in the Israeli automobile market. Stark changes in the regulatory regime allow the same physical automobile to be observed with different environmental scores. This variation is embedded into a structural model of consumer demand and firm pricing. Preliminary results suggest that consumer demand is sensitive to information regarding a vehicle's degree of pollution: as the pollution score increases by a single unit, the decline in willingness-to-pay for the vehicle by the average consumer amounts to 1%-2% of the price of a typical Sedan. This decline is on par with the corresponding subsidy loss, suggesting that information provision may be as effective as monetary incentives in curbing the demand for polluting vehicles. Date: Tuesday, February 25th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, 2nd floor, room D4.2.008<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D4.2.008> 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

View online<https://eventmaker.at/bmf/presentation_and_discussion_of_the_ebrd_transitio…> [Headerbild] Invitation: Presentation and Discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2024-25 Dear Madam or Sir, we are pleased to invite you to the following event: Forum Finanz Presentation and Discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2024-25 “Navigating industrial policy” The Transition Report 2024-25 focuses on industrial policies in the EBRD regions and beyond. Such policies have seen a resurgence, seeking to address market failures such as environmental degradation. However, their track record is mixed. Their growing popularity is shaped primarily by domestic political economy considerations and rising geopolitical tensions. While industrial policies are typically employed by higher-income economies, they are also now used more frequently in economies with less administrative and fiscal capacity to implement them. After opening remarks by Director General Harald Waiglein, EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik will present key findings from the Transition Report 2024-25. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion supported both by academia (TU Delft) and industry (TTTech, Alstom Transport Austria) practitioners. The detailed programme and the biographies of the discussants can be found on the event website, which you can access by clicking on the registration button below. The event will be held in English. We ask for registration until February 21 under the following link: REGISTER<https://eventmaker.at/bmf/presentation_and_discussion_of_the_ebrd_transitio…> We look forward to your participation! Kind regards, Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance Programme Opening Remarks Harald Waiglein, Director General, Economic Policy and Financial Markets, Austrian Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) Presentation Beata Javorcik, Chief Economist, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Panel discussion Beata Javorcik, Chief Economist, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Georg Kopetz, CEO and Member of the Executive Board, TTTech Lilian Meyer, Managing Director and Customer Director, Alstom Transport Austria Roman Stöllinger, Assistant Professor for Global Value Chains, Department for Value, Technology and Innovation, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) Moderation Kurt Bayer, Economist and former Executive Director at the World Bank Group and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) Date February 25, 2025 2:30pm-4pm Venue Federal Ministry of Finance Johannesgasse 5 1010 Vienna Top Floor Privacy<https://eventmaker.at/forwardmailer/ZLzidLgr5c1g77Z7b0F8OxwR2sV0N80Iduk6fDA…> | Legal Notice<https://eventmaker.at/forwardmailer/IbGl8iHOjzyiRcwGQ1G6M6kvmGh9SzJb3sc3H2r…> powered by BRAINTRUST-EventMaker<https://eventmaker.at/forwardmailer/TU4qBFkwa6FvxOXDifNNMIrzCWvza9pWeXYLwHz…> [https://eventmaker.at/forwardmailer/cWhm0xto7vPIM7CTSFHZ6Wsj0OfLnDmpSPlD3e5…]

WIC Colloquium, Wed, 26 February, 4:00 pm: Marc Luy - Health expectancy: increasingly used, but poorly understood
by Simunics, Barbara 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

WIC Hybrid Colloquium ***************************** Marc Luy Vienna Institute of Demography Health expectancy: increasingly used, but poorly understood Wednesday, 26 February 2025 4:00 - 5:00 pm (CET) (save to your calendar - .ics-file<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/ICAL-files/Colloqui…>) The hybrid seminar will be held in person at PSK Building, Georg Coch Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, 3rd floor, meeting room 01 and online via Zoom. Please register here: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration <https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration> Login information for online participation will be sent to all registered participants shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract: Health Expectancy (HE) indicators become increasingly important for health policies and public health measures. The general understanding of HE is that it simply extends the average life expectancy (LE) by one dimension. Technically, this is correct because the years lived by the life table population-the basis of LE-is divided into two quality dimensions: life years spent in good health and those spent in poor health. However, incorporating this additional dimension to the life table makes the HE indicators highly sensitive to various measurement and estimation issues. Their impact on levels and trends in HE can be huge, but is largely ignored in practical application. The talk presents selected examples from the research of the ERC project LETHE that demonstrate the HE sensitivity and discusses the usefulness of the indicator as well as possible ways to reduce its weaknesses. About the presenter: Marc Luy is Director of the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and Honorary Professor of Demography at the University of Vienna. His research is on trends and differentials in health and mortality. In particular, he wants to better understand the causal mechanisms that enable some (groups of) people to live longer and healthier than others. His best-known research project is the German-Austrian Cloister Study on the health and longevity of Catholic order members.
