Abstract: Rückverlagerungen sind Verlagerungen von Produktionsaktivitäten (oder Teilen davon) aus dem Ausland in das Herkunftsland des Unternehmens. Das Thema taucht aus verschiedenen Gründen derzeit vermehrt in der öffentlichen Diskussion auf: einerseits leiden Unternehmen unter Lieferverzögerungen und anderen Nachteilen zu langer Lieferketten. Die Covid-19-Krise hat diese Anfälligkeit besonders deutlich gezeigt. Zum anderen verbinden sich mit Rückverlagerungen die Hoffnung, Arbeitsplätze aus dem Ausland "zurückzuholen". Die präsentierten Daten zeigen, dass Rückverlagerungen im Gegensatz zur öffentlichen Wahrnehmung noch selten sind. Sie sind kein wirtschaftspolitisches Allheilmittel, um Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen und die Belastbarkeit internationaler Zuliefernetzwerke zu erhöhen, können der österreichischen Industrie in Zukunft allerdings positive Impulse geben. Deshalb sollte die Politik rückkehrwillige Unternehmen unterstützen. Die Förderung von Rückverlagerungen sollte allerdings kein Selbstzweck sein. Vielmehr könnte sich eine Strategie der industriellen Modernisierung als erfolgreich erweisen, die neben Investitionen in moderne Produktionstechnologien auch Ausbildung und Innovation fördert und so die Attraktivität des Standorts verbessert. Als Nebeneffekt könnte eine solche Strategie dazu beitragen, Rückverlagerungen attraktiver zu machen.

Reminder: Call for Papers 14th FIW-Research Conference 'International Economics' 14thFIW-Research Conference 'International Economics' 24-25 February 2022 Submission Deadline: 5th November 2021 Download: Call for Papers<https://fiw.ac.at/fileadmin/Documents/Veranstaltungen/14FOKO2021/14.FIW_FOKO_CALL_en_fin.pdf> OUTLINE The Research Centre International Economics - FIW announces its 14th Research Conference 'International Economics' and invites the submission of (full) working papers to be presented at the conference. The main objective of the conference is to provide a platform for economists working in the field of 'International Economics' to present recent research. Papers from Ph.D. students, young faculty members and young researchers in similar positions are particularly welcome as the conference aims to support and encourage young economists by providing an opportunity to present their work to fellow junior economists as well as experienced senior researchers. The conference also aims at bringing together researchers and policy makers to provide a forum for a discussion on how empirical evidence can more effectively inform actual economic policy making. TIME & LOCATION The 14th FIW Research Conference on 'International Economics' will take place online on Thursday, 24th February 2022 and Friday, 25thFebruary 2022 at the Vienna University of Economics & Business (WU), Welthandelsplatz 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria. FIW conferences have always been about informal, as well as formal, interactions amongst participants. It was unfortunate that we had to host the conference in 2021 as an online event due to the pandemic. Given the current situation in Austria, we expect that the 14th FIW-Conference will run face-to-face in Vienna. If necessary, the FIW-team will try its best to make online-participation (i.e., present papers and attend selected sessions) possible. Guidelines on required safety-measures for participants will be communicated as soon as possible. PAPER SUBMISSION We invite the submission of (full) working papers on all topics in the field of International Economics. Please submit your working papers via https://conference2022.fiw.ac.at/ until 5th November 2021.

Sprache: Englisch Description: In this paper, we provide a systematic comparative analysis of climate-induced internal migration across 69 countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean based on the micro census data supplied by the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) International over the period 1960-2015. Using the data from 188 censuses, we construct a longitudinal database at the sub-national regional level (Geo 1 census regions) with information on bilateral migration flows between the regions. Migration is estimated based on information on the previous residence of the census participants five or ten years prior to the respective census date (Garcia et al. 2015). In total, the data contains information on internal migration from 1600 census regions allowing us to estimate approximately 98000 bilateral migration flows. We use gravity-type fixed effects models to estimate internal migration flows induced by temperature and rainfall anomalies as well as drought taking into account both socioeconomic and climate drivers at the origin and destination. All models control for both region of origin as well as destination fixed effects and common time trends. We find a sizeable impact of negative precipitation anomalies, as well as weaker but significant impacts of heat anomalies and droughts on migration. Our findings furthermore suggest that also climatic conditions in destination regions influence migration flows to those regions. Fitting a series of spatial interaction models for different world regions, we find long-term heat stress increases out-migration in Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean while internal migration flows decline in Africa as the frequency of dry years increase. For the latter, the vulnerable subgroups of population may be 'trapped' in the place with unfavorable climatic conditions since they do not have necessary resources to facilitate outmigration (Black et al. 2013).

Abstract: Relocations are shifts of production activities (or parts thereof) from abroad to the company's country of origin. The topic is currently increasingly surfacing in the public debate for various reasons: on the one hand, firms suffer from delivery delays and other disadvantages of too long supply chains. The Covid 19 crisis has shown this vulnerability particularly clearly. On the other hand, relocations are associated with the hope of "bringing back" jobs from abroad. The data presented show that, contrary to public perception, relocations are still rare. They are not a panacea for economic policy to create jobs and increase the resilience of international supply networks, but they can provide positive impulses for Austrian industry in the future. Therefore, policy should support companies willing to return. However, promoting relocation should not be an end in itself. Rather, a strategy of industrial modernization could prove successful, which, in addition to investments in modern production technologies, also promotes training and innovation and thus improves the attractiveness of the location. As a side effect, such a strategy could help make relocations more attractive.
