Reminder: Einladung zum Seminar in International Economics
Gathering support for green tax reform (online-event)

 

Gathering support for green tax reform

Speaker: Armon Rezai, Vienna University of Economics and Business

Time: May 5, 2022, 3 p.m.

Venue: This is an online event via Zoom.

Registration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_adVR37anTaSKSZJ_ATKe3w

The presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Frederick van der Ploeg and Miguel Tovar. The Seminar will be held in English.

Abstract:
Green tax reform is unpopular because, typically, the poor are hurt most by the higher prices of carbon-intensive commodities. If revenues from a carbon tax are recycled, it may be feasible to gain popular support for green tax reform. To investigate this, we estimate an EASI demand system from German household data and a labour supply schedule, using wage data, and the German income tax schedule and let emission intensities decline in the carbon tax. If the revenue from a carbon tax is recycled via a lump-sum transfer to all households, this gives more equitable albeit less efficient outcomes, yet 70% of households are worse off. If the revenue is recycled via lower income taxes, there is more efficiency at the expense of more inequality, and about half of households benefit. With a recycling mix of lump-sum transfers and lower income taxes, popular support can be mustered without hurting equity too much. We also investigate the effects of Germany meeting its legal target for curbing emissions by 55% in 2030 relative to 1990 levels. We find that most of emission reductions are due to producers responding by lowering emission intensities rather than by consumers to less carbon-intensive consumption categories.

Gender Differences in Mobility after Childbirth and Implications for the Gender Gap in Employment” (online-event)

 

Gender Differences in Mobility after Childbirth and Implications for the Gender Gap in Employment

Speaker: Andrea Albanese, Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research (LISER)

Time: May 12, 2022, 3 p.m.

Venue: This is an online event via Zoom

Registration link:
https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_JCX2IRpHQai6SLuGeL0Y4w

The presentation is based on a paper with the same title co-authored with Adrian Nieto and Konstantinos Tatsiramos. The seminar will be held in English.

Abstract:
Using a novel event study specification that accounts for treatment heterogeneity together with Belgian social security and geo-location data at the individual level, we study mobility as a determinant of the gender gap in employment. We find that, following childbirth, individuals are less likely to change of residence regardless of their gender, but that only mothers commute less and work less outside their region of residence. Consistent with this finding, childbirth not only reduces employment for mothers relative to fathers, but the gender gaps on non-local employment and high-paying jobs are higher than the gender gaps on local employment and low-paying positions, respectively. Lastly, we show that a higher level of unemployment in the region of residence prior to childbirth lead to a higher gender gap in employment after childbirth. As childbirth reduces mobility, individuals’ employment status may be more reliant on the initial regional conditions.
