Special sessions include a “Meet the Editor” session with Prof. Kit Carpenter, Editor at the Journal of Health Economics, and there will be an attractive social and cultural program surrounding the workshop. Target audience: PhD students and early career postdocs working on health economics and closely related topics. Only 20 students will be admitted.

Economics of Inequality Seminar - Filip Novokment (Bonn): Long-Run Spatial Inequality in North America and Western Europe: Introducing the Linking National and Regional Inequalities Project
by ineq 09 Jun '23

09 Jun '23

Dear colleagues, The Research Institute Economics of Inequality (INEQ)<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/home/> at WU Vienna invites you to join the next Economics of Inequality Research Seminar<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/outreach/ineq-research-seminar/> on Monday, June 19 from 3pm to 4.15 pm, room 2.008 in the building D4. Filip Novokmet (University of Bonn and World Inequality Lab) is presenting "Long-Run Spatial Inequality in North America and Western Europe: Introducing the Linking National and Regional Inequalities Project" Abstract The rise of populist politics has highlighted the increasingly polarized geography of prosperity, and the rise of national income inequalities has been increasingly connected to the evolution of spatial inequalities within countries. Whilst crossnational research on income inequalities has been highly influential, there is limited comparative research into geographic income inequalities that tracks the link over time between national and subnational economic inequality. This paper is a first systematic attempt to create internationally comparable evidence showing how different countries perform in terms of geographic inequalities. We create cross-country comparable measures of spatial wage disparities between and within similarly-defined local labour market areas (LLMAs) for Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States since the 1970s, and assess their contribution to national inequality. By the end of the 2010s, spatial inequalities in LLMA mean wages are very similar in Canada, France, Germany and the UK. The US is the most spatially unequal; Canada has US levels of national inequality with European spatial inequality; France has very low spatial inequality in top and bottom wages; place is unusually important in the UK; and place makes a low and stable contribution to German inequality. All countries experienced an increase in spatial inequality over the period, though the degree of increase varies considerably. The contribution of inequalities between places in explaining national wage inequality has remained fairly constant over the 40-year study period, except in the United Kingdom. Whilst common social, economic and technological shocks are clearly important, the variation in levels and trends of spatial inequality across countries and over time opens the door to comparative research exploring the role of national institutions in mediating how these shocks translate into economic disparities between places. Date: Monday, June 19 Time: 3.00 to 4.15 pm Location: Building D4, Department of Economics (2nd Floor), Room D4.2.008<https://campus.wu.ac.at/?campus=1&q=D4.2.008> Please register your participation here<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/rs-registration-novokmet/>.

FW: WIC Colloquium, 14 June 2023: Alessandra Trimarchi - Partners’ relative resources and the transition to second birth in Austria.

WIC Online Colloquium ********************* Alessandra Trimarchi University of Vienna Partners’ relative resources and the transition to second birth in Austria Wednesday, 14th June, 2023 11:00 – 12:00 (CEST) The online seminar will be held in person at Dr. Ignaz Seipel – Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Museumszimmer (stair 1, 2nd floor) and online via Zoom. Please register here for the presentation until one day before the presentation 10:00 (CEST):https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration Login information for online participation will be sent to registered participants shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract: Fertility research is increasingly focusing on couples, especially on how the combination of partners’ characteristics affect parity progression. Analyses with register data, however, remain scarce and mostly limited to Nordic European countries. In this paper, we use a dataset derived from Austrian social security records and the birth register covering first births in the period 1990-2007, and parity progression in the follow-up. We test whether the observed positive effect of couples’ education is explained by partners’ joint or relative resources. Specifically, we apply cure models to analyse differential effects of partners’ resources on the timing and quantum of second births. Results show that couples where both partners have a tertiary degree have a higher probability to have the second child relative to other pairings. Instead, differentials in the timing of second births are minor. This finding also holds when controlling for partners’ resources. About the presenters: Alessandra Trimarchi is a postdoctoral researcher and a lecturer at the Department of Sociology of the University of Vienna since 2021. Previously, she worked at the French National Institute of Demography (Ined), and at the Catholic University of Leuven (KU Leuven). In 2016, she obtained a PhD in Demography jointly granted by Sapienza University of Rome and KU Leuven. Her research focuses on the association between socioeconomic resources and reproductive behaviour, and its implications for the reproduction of social inequalities in Europe.
