WU Economics Research Seminar, 7.6.2023, 4.30 pm to 6 pm, Arieda Muco (Central European University)
by Oberhofer, Harald 31 May '23

31 May '23

Dear colleagues, The Department of Economics cordially invites you to the WU Economics Research Seminar on Wednesday, June 7th, with Arieda Muco (Central European University) on "The Xerox Effect: Communication Technologies and Political Actions in Autocracy" Abstract: Do new communication technologies promote democratic values in autocratic regimes? To answer this question, we use a unique setting: the distribution of photocopy machines, the Xerox program, between 1985 and 1989 in communist Hungary. Exploiting data on machine allocation combined with newly digitalized data, we show that areas with machines are more likely to support democratic values in the referendum of 1989. These areas are also more likely to participate in elections, vote for democratic values in the first democratic elections, and establish more entrepreneurial activity. Moreover, we show that adjacent areas are also affected by technology adoption. Our results suggest that new communication technologies can help promote democratic values even in countries where political competition is limited and traditional media is censored. Date: Wednesday, June 7th Time: 4.30 to 6 pm (CET) Location: building D4, ground floor, room 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> Webpage: https://www.wu.ac.at/ie/mitarbeiter/harald-oberhofer/ 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

INEQ Research Seminar - Daria Tisch - June 5, 3pm
by ineq 30 May '23

30 May '23

Dear everyone, Daria Tisch will present her research "Implicit gender discrimination in inheritance and gift taxation" in the INEQ Research Seminar Series on Monday, 5 June 2023, 15:00, D4.2.008. Abstract This study examines how inheritance and gift tax systems may reproduce gender inequalities in parental transfers. Although there is ample research on the role of fiscal policy for wealth inequality between households, we know only little about how taxes shape gender wealth inequality. We focus on financial transfers because a significant share of wealth is not generated from savings but received in transfers. Gender differences in financial transfers might arise or be reproduced if men benefit differently than women from tax exemptions. This could be because men and women receive different types of assets where some are tax-exempted while others are not. To estimate gender gaps in the effective tax rates on parental transfers, we draw on German administrative inheritance and gift tax data. We show that men's average effective tax rate on inheritance is 2% lower than women's. For gifts, men's average effective tax rate is 18% lower than women's. By discussing and identifying implicit gender discrimination in the inheritance and gift tax system this study adds another factor - tax policy - to the debate about the gender wealth gap. Please register your participation here<https://www.wu.ac.at/en/ineq/rs-registration-tisch/>. Daria will also be available for individual meetings on either Monday, 8 March (afternoon) or Tuesday, 9 March (morning). Please let me know<mailto:sofie.waltl@wu.ac.at> whether you'd like to take the opportunity to get in touch with her, discuss research, etc. This should be particularly interesting for early-career researchers.

The workshop will focus on "Housing markets in Autria and CESEE: Homing in on prices, affordability and financial stability" Housing markets in Austria and CESEE may be at a turning point given economic slowdown, high inflation, tighter financing conditions and elevated uncertainty among households and businesses. The aim of this workshop is to bring together academics and policymakers from Austria and CESEE to exchange views on recent house price developments and burgeoning financial stability risks linked to housing markets. We will also discuss potential policy measures to address the eroding affordability of housing for many households given that they are already stretched by rising living and housing costs.

CEU seminar: Chris Tonetti (Stanford), Wed May 31, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 27 May '23

27 May '23

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Chris Tonetti (Stanford), who will present "Risky Insurance: Life-cycle Insurance Portfolio Choice with Incomplete Markets" (with Joseph Briggs and Ciaran Rogers) - you're all cordially invited to his in-person seminar. Time and venue: May 31, Wednesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322, at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse, 1100 Vienna). Abstract: We provide survey evidence that individuals believe there is substantial nonpayment risk in annuity, life insurance, and long-term care insurance (LTCI) products. Using simple statistical analysis we show that nonpayment beliefs predict insurance ownership and that the insurance ownership rate would be much larger if people believed there was zero nonpayment risk. To better quantify how nonpayment risk affects insurance ownership and how different features of insurance products affect consumer welfare, we develop an incomplete-markets life-cycle model of the demand for life insurance, annuities, LTCI, and a risk free bond. We incorporate features of real-world insurance products such as perceived nonpayment risk, high loads above actuarial fair prices, and quantity restrictions (e.g., age restrictions on purchases, short-selling constraints). Both high prices and nonpayment risk substantially decrease insurance ownership. Compared to our baseline, the welfare loss from sub-optimally owning zero insurance is 1.8 percent in consumption equivalent units. If the products had no risk and were sold at actuarially fair prices, the welfare cost of zero insurance ownership is much larger at 7.3 percent.
