Our Inflation Perception Indicator (IPI) for Germany is based on a corpus of three million articles published by broadsheet newspapers between January 2001 and February 2022. It is designed to detect thematic trends, thereby providing new insights into the dynamics of inflation perception over time. Methodically, the IPI makes use of RollingLDA, a dynamic topic modeling approach refining the rather static original LDA to allow for changes in the model’s structure over time. We then use time series for the overall inflation perception indicator as well as for specific topics to analyze time-varying correlations with time series for inflation expectations of firms and households. Our results reveal that the link between reporting about inflation and changes in inflation expectations is time-dependent. During periods of intensive newspaper coverage of inflation developments, a correlation with inflation expectations emerges that does not exist at other times. Such correlations are evident after the introduction of the euro, during the financial crisis and during the recent energy price shock.

INVITATION: WIC Hybrid Colloquium, 10th May 2023: Pauline Pohl, Philip Slepecki & Martin Spielauer - A microsimulation model for population projections in official statistics
by Simunics, Barbara 26 Apr '23

WIC Hybrid Colloquium ********************* Pauline Pohl, Philip Slepecki and Martin Spielauer (Statistics Austria, WIFO) A microsimulation model for population projections in official statistics Wednesday, May, 10th, 2023 11:00 - 12:00 (CEST) The hybrid seminar will be held online via Zoom and in person in Vienna, Dr. Ignaz Seipel-Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Museumszimmer (stair 1, 2nd floor). 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: The cohort-component method is the predominant approach for population projections in official statistics. It is computationally simple, does not require a broad range of input data, and is well-established in the literature. However, it cannot account for complex and dynamic demographic processes, model interactions, or produce detailed results concerning individual-level characteristics. Statistics Austria has implemented a microsimulation model to overcome these limitations. To mitigate the effect of this methodological break on the comparability of projection results over time, we start by replicating the cohort-component method results and introducing new model features stepwise. As a first step, we incorporate a model of international migration, which explicitly accounts for the place of birth grouped into detailed country clusters. In addition, emigration risks are modeled by the duration of residence. The model will be gradually refined and it can be extended with additional modules for education, employment, health and other socioeconomic characteristics. About the presenters: Pauline Pohl leads the population projections team at Statistics Austria. She previously worked as an applied econometrician at the Ger-man Economic Institute in Cologne and as a junior researcher at the Economica Institute of Economic Research in Vienna. She holds an MSc in Economics from the University of Vienna. Philip Slepecki is currently working on the microsimulation model for population projections at Statistics Austria as well as on demographic indicators. He has previously worked in the banking sector in credit risk modelling as well as in data science consulting. He holds a Master's degree in Econometrics from Tilburg University. Martin Spielauer is a senior economist at WIFO, developing dynamic microsimulation models. In two EU-funded projects, he leads the implementation of the comparative microWELT model for welfare transfers in the context of aging. He is a project partner for the Slovenian pension model and supports the microsimulation implementation of population projections at Statistics Austria. He previously consulted for the World Bank and gained international experience at Statistics Canada and the Max Planck Institute. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Vienna.

CEU seminar: Vadim Marmer (UBC), May 3 (Wed) 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 25 Apr '23

25 Apr '23

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Vadim Marmer (UBC Vancouver School of Economics), who will present "Informed Entry in First-Price Auctions" (joint with Jun Ma (Renmin U) and Pai Xu (HKU)) -- you are cordially invited to attend his in-person seminar. Time and venue: May 3, Wednesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322 at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Vienna). Abstract: We study the role of information in first-price auctions with selective entry. In this model, bidders do not know their actual values before entering and only observe imperfect signals. We use a semiparametric copula-based model to identify and estimate the information effects. More informative signals are favorable to the seller because the value distribution for entering bidders is more stochastically dominant. However, due to the entry cost, the equilibrium effect of more informative signals may reduce entry and reduce the seller's expected revenue. We estimate the model using data from Texas Department of Transportation (TDoT) procurement auctions and find that there is an optimal level of signals' informativeness, and TDoT should prefer well (although not perfectly) informed bidders.

student research conference at CEU
by Adam Zawadowski 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

CEU is organizing the second student conference in economics and related fields (incl. finance) this summer. The first one last year was a great success (https://economics.ceu.edu/undergraduate-conference/past-meetings) It is a very valuable opportunity for early-career researchers to share their work, get feedback, meet like-minded students, and get a feeling for what it is like to attend an academic conference. We plan on an in-person event on August 23-25 at CEU in Vienna and we will fully or partially cover the participation cost of all applicants who have been accepted for the conference. All details and information can be found on the website: <https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> Student Conference in Economics: Jump-Starting Your Research Career | Department of Economics and Business<https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> economics.ceu.edu<https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> [favicon.ico]<https://economics.ceu.edu/student-conference> Please share this opportunity with students and encourage them to apply.

CEU seminar: Elisabeth Kempf (Harvard Business School), Tue April 25, 11.15am
by Timea Laura Molnar 20 Apr '23

20 Apr '23

Dear all, our next seminar speaker at CEU is Elisabeth Kempf (Harvard Business School), who will present "The Political Polarization of Corporate America" (the paper is joint with Vyacheslav Fos and Margarita Tsoutsoura) -- you are cordially invited to attend her in-person seminar. Time and venue: April 25, Tuesday, 11.15am - 12.30pm, in C322 at CEU (51 Quellenstrasse 1100 Vienna). Abstract: Executive teams in U.S. firms are becoming increasingly partisan. We establish this new fact using political affiliations from voter registration records for top executives of S&P 1500 firms between 2008 and 2020. The new fact is explained by both an increasing share of Republican executives and increased assortative matching by executives on political affiliation. Departures of politically misaligned executives are value-destroying for shareholders, implying the increasing political polarization of corporate America may not be in the financial interest of shareholders.
