Dear Sir or Madam, The Office of the Austrian Productivity Board (Produktivitätsrat) invites you to an online Seminar with Matthias Weber on December 7, 2023. Abstract Governments are increasingly utilising research and innovation (R&I) policy to foster economic and societal change. Yet, the empirical correlation between these policies and socio-technical transformations remains under-explored. The report investigates this relationship by comparing the Recovery and Resilience Plans (RRPs) of Austria, Finland and Sweden, initiated under the NextGenerationEU framework post Covid-19. The report to be presented at this seminar investigates significant disparities in the content, process and transformative value of the RRPs among these countries. The differences in the content of the national RRPs, and the ability and willingness to seize the opportunity presented by the RRPs to drive transformation, are explained by existing national policy contexts and frameworks. Surprisingly, the role of R&I policy in the RRPs is less important than expected, despite its emphasised importance in literature and political rhetoric. The report further identifies implications for a transformative innovation policy as well as areas for further research.

FW: CESS: Luca Braghieri (Bocconi) on 5/12 Tues
by Mats Koster 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear All, Please find below the invitation to the IN PERSON CEU Economic Seminar Series (CESS) presentation. Luca Braghieri<https://sites.google.com/view/lucabraghieri/home> will talk about: ‘The Slant of Online News’ Time and venue: December 5, Tuesday, 11.15am – 12.30pm, at Quellenstrasse 51 (Vienna), QS B-505. Abstract: The increased reliance on social media for news consumption has generated widespread concern. In particular, many worry that the structure of the social network and the algorithm governing users’ newsfeeds leads to the formation of “echo-chambers” and “filter-bubbles” that promote the consumption of partisan news (Sunstein, 2017). Although almost ubiquitous in the popular press, worries about polarized news consumption on social media have received relatively little empirical substantiation from the academic literature (Guess, Nyhan, and Reifer, 2018). In this paper: i) we propose and implement a new method to assign slant to individual news articles; ii) we show that our fine-grained measure of slant delivers an estimate of the degree of polarization in news consumption on Facebook that is substantially higher than the estimates obtained with the coarser measures commonly employed in the literature. Please sign up for the seminar at this link<https://forms.office.com/e/98yh0rNE51> till 12pm, the day before the seminar! [cid:image003.png@01DA21E4.12621990] Best Regards: Mats

WU Economics Research Seminar, 6.12.2023, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Gauthier Vermandel (École polytechnique)
by Oberhofer, Harald 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, December 6th, with Gauthier Vermandel (École polytechnique) on "Green asset pricing" Abstract: Climate change is one of the greatest economic challenges of our time. Given the scale of the problem, the question of whether a carbon tax should be introduced is hotly debated in policy circles. This paper studies the design of a carbon tax when environmental factors, such as air carbon-dioxide emissions (CO2), directly affect agents' marginal utility of consumption. Our first result is that the optimal tax is determined by the shadow price of CO2 emissions. We then use asset-pricing theory to estimate this implicit price in the data and find that the optimal tax is pro-cyclical. It is therefore optimal to use the carbon tax to "cool down" the economy during booms and stimulate it in recessions. The optimal policy not only generates large welfare gains, it also reduces risk premiums and raises the average risk-free real rate. The effect of the tax on asset prices and welfare critically depends on the emission-abatement technology. Date: Wednesday, December 6th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D3, ground floor, room D3.0.218<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?q=D3.0.218> 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> Webpage: 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> Webpage: http://www.wifo.ac.at/harald_oberhofer

REMINDER: WIC Colloquium, Wed, 22 Nov 2023: Jungho Kim - The Effect of Parental Leave Benefit on Fertility and Female Employment
by Simunics, Barbara 20 Nov '23

20 Nov '23

WIC Hybrid Colloquium ***************************** Jungho Kim Ajou University The Effect of Parental Leave Benefit on Fertility and Female Employment Wednesday, 22 November 2023 11:00 – 12:00 (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 Dr. Ignaz Seipel Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Museumszimmer (2nd floor) and online via Zoom. Please register here until 21 November 2023, 10:00 (CET): 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: The paper examines the implications of expanding parental leave benefits in South Korea, one of the major policy responses to low fertility rates. The study focuses on female employees who gave birth between 2010 and 2022, registered in the National Employment Insurance database. Preliminary findings suggest that an increase in parental leave benefits has had a favorable impact on women's utilization of leave, their employment status, and fertility decisions. More specifically, when the monthly benefit increases by KRW 100,000 (equivalent to EUR 71), there is a 1.8 percentage point increase in the uptake of leave by mothers, along with an extension of the desired leave duration by 10.0 days. In addition, the percentage of mothers who return to work and subsequently have another child within three years of their birth increases by 0.3 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points, respectively. Furthermore, the study reveals substantial heterogeneous effects across wage groups, firm sizes, and industries, highlighting the need for policy interventions aimed at reducing disparities in effective access to parental leave among different demographic groups. About the presenter: Dr. Jungho Kim is a professor in economics at Ajou University in Korea and currently visiting VID. He holds Ph.D. in Economics at Brown University, and his research interests are in the empirical analysis of household behavior and the program evaluation regarding fertility, labor, health and consumption in developing countries. He is currently working on the consequences of the expansion of family policy, COVID-19, and deworming programs in Korea. https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/PDF/Colloquium/2023… *************************************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA ***************************************************************************************************
