Folgen für Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Weltklima Ein hochrangiger Expert:innendialog zur Energiewende in der Oesterreichischen Nationalbank Donnerstag, 14. Dezember 2023 | Beginn: 16:00 Uhr | Ende: 17:30 Uhr Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, funktioniert das europäische Aus für Verbrennungsmotoren? Wie reagieren die Besitzer fossiler Ressourcen? Was bedeutet das für unsere Wettbewerbsfähigkeit? Und wie wirkt sich das auf das Weltklima aus? Hans-Werner Sinn braucht man nicht vorstellen. Dem emeritierten Präsidenten des ifo Instituts und Professor für Volkswirtschaft eilt der Ruf eines unbequemen Ökonomen voraus. Zuletzt hinterfragte er vielzitierte Grundannahmen zur Energiewende und kritisierte dirigistische Markteingriffe sowie nationale Alleingänge in der Klimapolitik. Ein europäisches Verbot von Verbrennungsmotoren sei wirkungslos, weil das Öl, das wir nicht mehr verbrauchen, anderswo verbrannt werden würde. Es sei sogar kontraproduktiv, weil es zur Mehrproduktion von Braunkohlestrom führe. Statt symbolischer Ersatzhandlungen plädiert Sinn für einen internationalen Klimaklub. Die EU solle im Verein mit anderen Großmächten alles Erdenkliche unternehmen, dass alle Länder Treibhausgase angemessen bepreisen und so das Verhalten aller in eine klimafreundliche Richtung steuern. Es freut uns, Sie zum Expertendialog zum Thema "Funktionieren "Verbrennerverbote"? Folgen für Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Weltklima" einladen zu dürfen. Termin Donnerstag, 14. Dezember 2023 | Beginn: 16:00 Uhr | Ende: 17:30 Uhr Ablauf Begrüßung Robert Holzmann Gouverneur Oesterreichische Nationalbank Präsentationen (je 20 Minuten) Hans-Werner Sinn emeritierter Präsident ifo Institut Angela Köppl Senior Economist Österreichisches Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (wifo) Offene Diskussion mit Fragen aus dem Publikum Moderation Andreas Breitenfellner Oesterreichische Nationalbank Ort Online via Webex Wir bitten um Anmeldung bis 13.

Ad-hoc WU Economics Research Seminar, 13.12.2023, 2.30 pm to 3.30 pm, Philippe Goulet Coulombe (Université du Québec à Montréal)
by Oberhofer, Harald 06 Dec '23

06 Dec '23

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the ad-hoc Economics Research Seminar (Department Seminar) on Wednesday, December 13th, with Philippe Goulet Coulombe (Université du Québec à Montréal) on "Maximally Machine-Learnable Portfolios" Abstract: When it comes to stock returns, any form of predictability can bolster risk-adjusted profitability. We develop a collaborative machine learning algorithm that optimizes portfolio weights so that the resulting synthetic security is maximally predictable. Precisely, we introduce MACE, a multivariate extension of Alternating Conditional Expectations that achieves the aforementioned goal by wielding a Random Forest on one side of the equation, and a constrained Ridge Regression on the other. There are two key improvements with respect to Lo and MacKinlay's original maximally predictable portfolio approach. First, it accommodates for any (nonlinear) forecasting algorithm and predictor set. Second, it handles large portfolios. We conduct exercises at the daily and monthly frequency and report significant increases in predictability and profitability using very little conditioning information. Interestingly, predictability is found in bad as well as good times, and MACE successfully navigates the debacle of 2022. Date: Wednesday, December 13th Time: 2.30 to 3.30 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 Mail: harald.oberhofer(a)wu.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wu.ac.at> Webpage: https://www.wu.ac.at/en/economics/people/oberhofer-h/ Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) Phone: +43/1/7982601-468 Mail: harald.oberhofer(a)wifo.ac.at<mailto:harald.oberhofer@wifo.ac.at> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer

INEQ Research Seminar - Edvin Hertegård - December 18, 3pm
by ineq 05 Dec '23

05 Dec '23

Dear colleagues, we hereby invite you the next INEQ - Economics of Inequality Research Seminar.<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/outreach/ineq-research-seminar/> Edvin Hertegård<https://sites.google.com/view/edvinhertegard/home> (SOFI, Stockholm University) will present his paper Economic Crisis and the Career Choices of the Next Generation of Workers on Monday, December 18, 3.00 p.m. at the INEQ Institute (D3.0.259<https://campus.wu.ac.at/de/?campus=1&q=001_40_EG01_005200#map>, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business). Abstract This paper studies how young individuals adjust to economic crisis by changing their career choices, and how this response affects their long-run labor market outcomes. The context is the massive recession that hit Sweden in the construction sectors. Our analysis shows that students who experience paternal job loss in the exposed sectors right before, as opposed to right after, the year they make their high-school specialization choices increasingly select into programs linked to less exposed sectors. They also achieve better labor market outcomes in the very long run, such as higher employment rates and career earnings. In contrast, students are less responsive to aggregate conditions in their local labor market. Our results are consistent with informational frictions being a key obstacle to structural adjustments.

Diesmal mit folgendem Inhalt: · Seminar in International Economics: Hidden in plain sight: Influential sets in linear regression |05.12.2023 · FIW-Trade Talks ‘Revitalizing the World Trading System’ | 08.01.2024 · AW-Curriculum: Migration, Flüchtlingsintegration und Außenwirtschaft | 11.01.2024 Einladung: Seminar in International Economics: Hidden in plain sight: Influential sets in linear regression |05.12.2023 Hidden in plain sight: Influential sets in linear regression Vortragender: Jesús Crespo (Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien) Diskutantin: Rosanna Gualdi (Universita‘ di Bologna) Zeit: 5. Dezember 2023, 14:00 – 15:00 Uhr Ort: Online-Event (Zoom) Registrierung: https://apps.eui.eu/EventRegistration/Home/Login?eventId=564966 Abstract: Influential sets are sets of observations that have considerable impact on econometric results. This webinar presents a disciplined and insightful method for assessing the sensitivity of regression-based inference to influential sets. Algorithmic approaches are explored to identify influential sets, discuss interpretation, and assess the sensitivity of earlier studies to these sets. This method is applied to established results in development economics, and show that results are driven by small influential sets. Identifying and analysing these sets can reveal potential omitted variable bias, unobserved heterogeneity, a lack of external validity, and technical limitations of the methodological approach used.

ECON Theory & Policy Seminar / N. McClung (Bank of Finland) / On Robustness of Average Inflation Targeting
by Hutter, Julia 04 Dec '23

04 Dec '23

Dear all, we kindly invite you to our next ECON Theory and Policy Seminar talk on Monday, December 11, 2023 from 4:00-5:30 pm (Seminarroom DB04 yellow, Freihaus Buidling, yellow area, 4th floor) "On Robustness of Average Inflation Targeting" Nigel McClung (Bank of Finland) https://www.nigelmcclung.com/ with Seppo Honkapohja (Aalto University School of Business) This paper considers average inflation targeting (AIT) policy in a New Keynesian model with adaptive learning agents. Our analysis raises concerns regarding AIT when agents have imperfect knowledge and the averaging window length is not public knowledge. AIT can create severe stability risks near the inflation target steady state which would be avoided under inflation targeting (IT) or price level targeting (PLT). Near the zero interest rate steady state, AIT under-performs PLT and does not necessarily outperform IT. Communicating the averaging window length or adopting an asymmetric average inflation target that judges below-target average inflation more negatively avoids these pitfalls.
