Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, December 11th, with Antonio Minniti (University of Bologna) on "Medical Innovation, Life Expectancy, and Economic Growth" Abstract: To analyze the causal effects of medical innovation on economic growth, we propose an R&D-based economic growth model with overlapping generations, wherein life expectancy depends on healthcare utilization and medical innovation, and we then empirically test the model's implications. Our findings reveal a clear causal pathway from medical innovation to economic growth, with increasing life expectancy serving as a key transmission channel. A positive and significant effect emerges in intermediate stages of development but not in early stages and in late stages. This is because medical innovation positively affects the working age population mainly in intermediate stages of development. Date: Wednesday, December 11th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D1, first floor, room D1.1.078<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D1.1.078> 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

Title “Agreed and Disagreed Uncertainty” Abstract When agents’ information is imperfect and dispersed, existing measures of macroeconomic uncertainty based on the forecast error variance have two distinct drivers: the variance of the economic shock and the variance of the information dispersion. The former driver increases uncertainty and reduces agents’ disagreement (agreed uncertainty). The latter increases both uncertainty and disagreement (disagreed uncertainty). We use these implications to identify empirically the effects of agreed and disagreed uncertainty shocks, based on a novel measure of consumer disagreement derived from survey expectations. Disagreed uncertainty has no discernible economic effects and is benign for economic activity, but agreed uncertainty exerts significant depressing effects on a broad spectrum of macroeconomic indicators. Date Friday, 6 December 2024 | Start: 11:00 AM | End: 12:30 PM Venue The event is planned both, online via Webex and onsite at the Online via Webex, Conference language English Join us by registering by 4 December 2024, at the latest. registration <https://www.oenb-events.at/en/oenb-freitagsseminar-with-francesco-zanetti/r…> We look forward to having you join us at the OeNB-Freitagsseminar with Francesco Zanetti.

[INEQ Research Seminar] Max Thaning (Stockholm University) , December 09 -- Evaluating Subgroup Heterogeneity: Universal and Interactive Models of Social Mobility in Sweden
by Disslbacher, Franziska 27 Nov '24

27 Nov '24

Dear colleagues, We hereby invite you to join our next Economics of Inequality Research Seminar<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/outreach/ineq-research-seminar> at WU Vienna. Max Thaning<https://www.su.se/english/profiles/math4987-1.276085> (Stockholm University) will present the paper Evaluating Subgroup Heterogeneity: Universal and Interactive Models of Social Mobility in Sweden. Date and Time: Monday, December 9; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, D3 - D3.0.218<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D3.0.218>. Abstract Effect heterogeneity is central for social mobility research, focusing on whether subgroups have converging or differential mobility rates. Still, standardized approaches are lacking, and conventional methods suffer from drawbacks – e.g., covariate imbalance and overfitting. I propose a three-stage evaluation process that uses prediction methods, complementing conventional examinations of group mean and effect differences, that allows for gauging subgroup-specific changes in explanatory power. The analytical framework additionally focuses on identifying what heterogeneity components (parental SES, gender, or migration background) drive any differences produced. While drawing on traditional subgroup analysis and intersectionality theory, the empirical focus is on universality vs. interactive models of social mobility using detailed Swedish register and census data. Although the conventional interpretation of interactive models shows strong support for subgroup heterogeneity and varying social mobility rates, predictive results indicate minimal improvements in fit and little support for an effect heterogeneity by parental SES. In sum, the interpretation of coefficients and graphical analysis of interactions can be contextualized by expanding the criteria for assessing subgroup heterogeneity. Ultimately, this leads to a better understanding of subgroup particularities, guiding future research toward richer answers with a focus on both effect estimates and how well competing models fit the data.

26 Nov '24

[cid:image001.jpg@01DB3CDA.9B173C90] IHS Talk C. Katharina Spieß (BIB & University Mainz) FReDA - The German Family Demography Panel Study - A new panel study and new findings on work attitudes December 12, 2024 14:00-15:30 Institute for Advanced Studies Josefstädter Straße 39, 1080 Vienna Lecture Room E02 Abstract FReDA - The German Family Demography Panel Study" is a scientific study that addresses the issues of relationships and family life in Germany. For the study over 30.000 people, country-wide, between the ages of 18 and 49 were randomly selected, along with their partners. FReDA looks at the individual living situation of people: The life of singles, those in partnerships, or those in families with children. The focus of the study is on relationships and family life. The study examines how people in Germany live, how they organise their every day in a partnership, and how satisfied they are with their lives. The presentation will provide an overview of the new FReDA dataset and showcase a research example-specifically, a study examining attitudes toward maternal and paternal employment. FReDA explicitly asks whether mothers and fathers should be in paid work, work part-time or full-time, presenting respondents with fictional family profiles that vary the youngest child's age. Unlike previous studies, the analysis compares the views of respondents with different origins: West Germany, East Germany, immigrants from different world regions, and second-generation migrants in West Germany. The results highlight remarkable differences between respondents and offer a nuanced picture of attitudes towards maternal and paternal employment. The findings will be discussed in relation to labour markets participation in Germany. Speaker C.

WU Economics Research Seminar, 4.12.2024, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Jordi Paniagua (University of Valencia)
by Oberhofer, Harald 25 Nov '24

25 Nov '24

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, December 4th, with Jordi Paniagua (University of Valencia) on "Do Deep Trade Agreements' Provisions Actually Increase -or Decrease- Trade and/or FDI?" Abstract: Over the past 30 years, "deep trade" agreements (DTAs) have proliferated. DTAs go beyond traditional preferential trade agreements historically focused narrowly on reducing tariff rates on goods trade, influencing the behavior of exporting firms and multinational enterprises (MNEs) via a broad swath of "provisions." However, estimation of the individual effects of several hundred provisions in DTAs on international trade flows using the World Bank's DTA database remains in its infancy. While the World Bank's database categorizes substantive vs. non-substantive provisions and - within these groups - liberalizations vs. obligations, this paper is the first to use the Shapley Value approach from cooperative game theory to generate unbiased estimates of the signs of all individual provisions' partial effects to quantitatively categorize provisions between positive effects (so-called "liberalizations") and negative effects (so-called "obligations"). This approach allows us to generate estimates of the positive-versus-negative effects of provisions, an aspect that has been overlooked in the literature, while still addressing challenges posed by omitted-variables, over-aggregation, and multi-collinearity biases. Second, in contrast to most studies that focus exclusively on trade-flow effects of DTAs, we introduce a new data set on MNEs' activities to inform us of DTA provisions' effects on MNEs' bilateral FDI, costs, employment, revenues, and assets - alongside DTA provisions' effects on trade flows - which are of potential importance to MNEs' managements and government policymakers. Third, among numerous empirical findings, we find convincing evidence that provisions that positively (negatively) affect trade flows also negatively (positively) affect FDI flows, suggesting that trade and FDI are predominantly substitutes with respect to DTAs. Finally, we provide computable general equilibrium welfare estimates associated with several policy-relevant counterfactual exercises.
