Jänner 2023 unter diesem Link an: https://wiiw.ac.at/nearshoring-trends-in-see-what-is-ahead-er-605.html Veranstaltungssprache: Englisch Description The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine called for greater resilience of supply chains and a higher level of cooperation in Europe. New buzzwords were coined, such as reshoring, nearshoring, and friendshoring. Moreover, the EU integration process was again revived. As EU companies aim to shorten their supply chains, bringing their production network closer to their home, Western Balkan countries are in the spotlight. Yet, besides the economic and geographic potential to grasp these FDI opportunities, the Western Balkans still face many socio-political challenges. This event will discuss these issues and give further insight into state-of-the-art research and relevant policies helping the Western Balkans to benefit from these new investment opportunities.

Reminder: Seminar in International Economics “Brothers in Arms: The Value of Coalitions in Sanctions Regimes” | 31.01.2023 Brothers in Arms: The Value of Coalitions in Sanctions Regimes Joschka Wanner University of Potsdam Dienstag, 31. Jänner 2023, 15:00 Uhr Registration link: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_1Bp73KCvSRSKzKnBJHpYEg This presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Sonali Chowdhry, Julian Hinz, Katrin Kamin. Abstract: This paper examines the impact of coalitions on the economic costs of the 2012 Iran and 2014 Russia sanctions. By estimating and simulating a quantitative general equilibrium trade model under different coalition set-ups, we (i) dissect welfare losses for sanction-senders and target; (ii) compare prospective coalition partners and; (iii) provide bounds for the sanctions potential — the maximum welfare change attainable — when sanctions are scaled vertically, i.e. across sectors up to an embargo, or horizontally, i.e. across countries up to a global regime. To gauge the significance of simulation outcomes, we implement a Bayesian bootstrap procedure that generates confidence bands. We find that the implemented measures against Iran and Russia inflicted considerable economic harm, yielding 32 – 37% of the vertical sanctions' potential. Our key finding is that coalitions lower the average welfare loss incurred from sanctions relative to unilateral implementation. They also increase the welfare loss imposed on Iran and Russia. Adding China to the coalition further amplifies the welfare loss by 79% for Iran and 22% for Russia. Finally, we quantify transfers that would equalize losses across coalition members. These hypothetical transfers can be seen as a sanctions-equivalent of NATO spending goals and provide a measure of the relative burden borne by coalition countries. The seminar series is organised by the Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies (wiiw) in co-operation with FIW, the Centre of Competence in International Economics. The seminar provides a forum for presentation and discussion of recent academic research in the field of international economics. Über Ihre Teilnahme an den Veranstaltungen bzw.
