WU Research Seminar in Economics: Natalia Zinovyeva, May 13, 4.30 pm
by Oberhofer, Harald 04 May '26

04 May '26

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the Wu Research Seminar in Economics on Wednesday, May 13th, with Natalia Zinovyeva (https://profiles.warwick.ac.uk/u1971720-natalia-zinovyeva) presenting: "Women in Top Academic Positions: Is There a Trickle-down Effect?". Abstract: We study how the promotion of female faculty affects future hiring and PhD cohorts, using data from 4,000 Spanish university departments across all disciplines. We identify exogenous variation in promotions by exploiting the random assignment of evaluators to promotion committees from 2002 to 2008, where applicants randomly assigned to committees that included co-authors or former colleagues were significantly more likely to succeed. We find that a female promotion to Associate Professor increases female faculty by 1.5 members after 15 years and leads to six additional female PhD graduates over the following decade, while also raising the likelihood that female PhD graduates remain in academia and reach tenured positions. Promoting researchers, of any gender, in female-dominated fields generates similar but smaller effects, suggesting that while research alignment matters, gender itself plays an independent role. These results suggest that advancing women at key career stages can generate lasting, cumulative gains far downstream, both in faculty composition and PhD training. * Date: Wednesday, May 13th * Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) * Location: building D4, entrance A, 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

WU Research Seminar in Economics: Johan Gustafsson, May 6: 4.30 pm
by Oberhofer, Harald 27 Apr '26

27 Apr '26

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Research Seminar in Economics on Wednesday, May 6th, with Johan Gustafsson (https://www.umu.se/en/staff/johan-a-gustafsson/) presenting: "Should robots pay for our pensions?". Abstract: The thesis of this paper is that increased automation, through the continued adoption of industrial robots and the rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence, may challenge the fiscal sustainability of public pension systems. We develop a general equilibrium overlapping generations model with two types of automation capital, substituting for routine and cognitive labor respectively, and ask whether it is welfare-improving to shift pension funding from labor income taxes to taxes on automation capital income. Analytically, we show that the payroll tax rate required to maintain a given benefit level depends on the product of the labor task share and total output, that a revenue-neutral tax shift toward automation capital unambiguously increases savings and capital accumulation, and that labor supply policies become increasingly ineffective for generating pension revenue as automation deepens. Calibrating the model to Germany, we find that shifting pension funding toward automation capital is always welfare-improving, with consumption-equivalent welfare gains ranging from 3.8 percent under current conditions to over 8 percent when population aging and increased automation coincide. The optimal policy imposes automation capital taxes of 24 to 29 percent while substantially reducing the payroll tax, benefits low-skill workers disproportionately, and can be implemented as a simple uniform tax across automation types with negligible welfare losses relative to a fully differentiated instrument. * Date: Wednesday, May 6th * Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) * Location: building D4, entrance A, 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

CEU Seminar: Martin Oehmke (LSE) -- Wed April 29, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 24 Apr '26

24 Apr '26

Dear all, Our next seminar speaker at CEU is Martin Oehmke (LSE). You are all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. Time and venue: April 29, Wednesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, QS B-505, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna) Seminar Title: "Margins as Canaries in the Coal Mine" (joint work with Christian Kubitza). Abstract: Central clearing counterparties (CCPs) manage counterparty risk by requiring clearing members to post margins. This paper explores the role of margins as “canaries in the coal mine:” By inducing defaults of fragile counterparties before contract maturity, margin calls enable CCPs to transfer these contracts to other counterparties, thereby preserving risk sharing. Our model reveals a pecking order of CCP risk management tools. When fragility is low, loss sharing among original counterparties suffices. When fragility is high, such that defaults at contract maturity would trigger cascading failures among clearing members, the CCP optimally complements loss sharing with margins. It is optimal to use margins as canaries when the balance sheets of fragile counterparties are severely impaired. Our findings highlight the complementary nature of CCP risk management tools: margins, loss sharing, and counterparty replacement. Speaker's website: https://sites.google.com/site/moehmke/martin-oehmke Registration, till 12pm, the day before the seminar, is required at: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=E1nE2VN24kuSC72wOGOBhDP… With questions, please contact the CEU seminar organizer, Timea L.

[INEQ Research Seminar] Alessandro Toppeta (SOFI, Stockholm University), April 27: High School Majors and Cognitive Skill Development
by Disslbacher, Franziska 22 Apr '26

22 Apr '26

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. Alessandro Toppeta<https://sites.google.com/view/alessandro-toppeta> (SOFI, Stockholm University) will present the paper High School Majors and Cognitive Skill Development. Date and Time: Monday, April 27; 3.00 p.m. Location: WU Vienna, EA.5.040<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=EA.5.040>. Abstract This paper examines the causal effect of high school majors on cognitive skills. We compare students just above and below GPA admission cutoffs using a regression discontinuity design and find that fields of study at age 16 impact cognitive skills around age 18. Admission to STEM relative to non-academic programs raises both crystallized and fluid cognitive skills by about 0.05 standard deviations, while admission to business, social sciences, and humanities (BSH) relative to STEM lowers both by 0.10 standard deviations. Analyses of test components indicate that STEM programs particularly foster spatial reasoning and technical problem-solving skills.
