[FIW_Logo_de_en] Please click here for the English version Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, wir freuen uns, Sie über die neuesten Entwicklungen des FIW-Projekts informieren zu dürfen. Dieses Mal mit folgendem Inhalt: · FIW Policy Brief Nr. 33 veröffentlicht · FIW-Seminar in International Economics · Neue FIW Working Papers veröffentlicht FIW Policy Brief: Nr. 33 "Die chinesische Investitionsoffensive "One Belt, One Road" Wirtschaftliche Potentiale für Österreich?" veröffentlicht FIW-Policy Briefs informieren über aktuelle und politikrelevante außenwirtschaftliche Themen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der österreichischen Interessenslage. Der FIW-Policy Brief Nr. 33 von Julia Grübler und Robert Stehrer (wiiw) zum Thema "Investitionen in Österreich: Entwicklungen, Ursachen, Politikempfehlungen" wurde veröffentlicht und steht unter folgendem Link zum kostenlosen Download<http://www.fiw.ac.at/fileadmin/Documents/Publikationen/Policy_Briefs/33_FIW_PolicyBrief_GrueblerStehrer.pdf> zur Verfügung: FIW-Seminar in International Economics Thursday, 16 February 2017, 4 pm wiiw, Rahlgasse 3, 1060 Vienna Collateral Effect of Green Public Procurement Vera Danilina Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE), France The presentation is based on a paper co-authored with Federico Trionfetti Aix-Marseille University (Aix-Marseille School of Economics), CNRS and EHESS, France Abstract Green Public Procurement (GPP), or green purchasing, entered the global agenda in the early 2000s while the majority of national programmes was launched already ten years earlier. Their implementation discloses a wide range of contradictory economic consequences. Our research is focused on the GPP welfare effects in autarky and upon trade integration across eco-heterogeneous countries. We introduce the public procurement analysis approach into the heterogeneous firms setting aiming to model the life-cycle based GPP programmes that account for the environmental quality of the whole production process. The designed framework shows the collateral effect of green purchasing based on the resources redistribution across industries and average productivity changes. It also allows to study the welfare effects conditionally on the type of the GPP policy in closed and open economy settings. Our research contributes to a relatively scarce literature on environment and trade with heterogeneous rms proposing a new approach to the GPP modelling. The paper also provides a set of policy recommendations that can be of particular interest due to the development of eco-labelling and environmental standards, and corresponding GPP programmes. Keywords: green public procurement, green purchasing, rm heterogeneity, trade integration, voluntary environmental regulation, welfare. JEL Codes: F18, H57, Q58. We kindly ask you to register at http://wiiw.ac.at/collateral-effect-of-green-public-procurement-er-327.html for the event. Participation is free of charge. This seminar series is an activity in the framework of FIW ('Forschungsschwerpunkt Internationale Wirtschaft'), which is a project designed to build a centre of excellence in research on International Economics, funded by the Austrian Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW). The seminar programme is regularly updated.
