| 11:15 | Break |
| 11.30 | Green Growth - does ambition pay? , Economist, Germany Desk, Economics Department, OECD Discussant Karsten Neuhoff, Research Director DIW Berlin and Climate Policy Initiative |
| 12:00 | Discussion |
The OECD Economic Survey of Germany 2012 reviews the major progress that has been made, notably on the labour market, and which paid off in the recent recession. It also outlines where more needs to be done to strengthen the growth potential, not least in view of rapid population ageing. Policy should focus on raising labour input and productivity growth through structural reforms. Implementing cost-effective climate change mitigation policies and fostering eco innovation would strengthen new drivers of growth.
Registration is required. Please send an email to: events@diw.de. We look forward to your participation.

Berlin Lunchtime Meeting Golden Growth: Restoring the Lustre of the European Economic Model
Speakers:
Indermit Gill, Chief Economist of the Europe and Central Asia Region of the World Bank, and
Martin Raiser, World Bank's Country Director for Turkey
Chair:
Dr. Ferdinand Fichtner, Head of the Department Forecasting and Economic Policy, DIW Berlin
The report documents the impressive achievements of the European growth model over the last 50 years. Accounting for the stresses it is experiencing and assessing the longer-term challenges that Europe will face, the report then evaluates the six principal components of the model: Trade, Finance, Enterprise, Innovation, Labor, and Government. It finds that the European growth model has been a powerful engine for economic convergence, helping developing countries in Europe catch up to their richer neighbors and become high-income economies. But recent developments inside and outside of Europe necessitate change. The report proposes the adjustments needed to make trade and finance work even better, to encourage enterprise and innovation in parts of Europe which have begun to lag, and address shortcomings in the functioning of labor markets and governments. The changes proposed would restart the European convergence machine, make Europe's enterprises competitive, and help Europeans afford the highest standards of living in the world.
Registration is required. Please send an email to: events@diw.de

Applied Micro Seminar On the Historical and Geographic Origins of the Sicilian Mafia
This research attempts to explain the large differences in the early diffusion of the mafia across different areas of Sicily. We advance the hypothesis that, after the demise of Sicilian feudalism, the lack of publicly provided property-right protection from widespread banditry favored the development of a florid market for private protection and the emergence of a cartel of protection providers: the mafia. This would especially be the case in those areas (prevalently concentrated in the Western part of the island) characterized by the production and commercialization of sulphur and citrus fruits, Sicily’s most valuable export goods whose international demand was soaring at the time. We test this hypothesis combining data on the early incidence of mafia across Sicilian municipalities and on the distribution of sulphur reserves, land suitability for the cultivation of citrus fruits, distance from the main commercial ports, and a variety of other geographical controls. Our empirical findings provide support for the proposed hypothesis documenting, in particular, a significant impact of sulphur extraction, terrain ruggedness, and distance from Palermo’s port on mafia’s early diffusion.

Applied Micro Seminar Changing Identity: Retiring from Unemployment
Abstract: Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel from 1984-2009, we follow persons from their working life into their retirement years and find that, on average, employed people maintain their life satisfaction upon retirement, while long-term unemployed people report a substantial increase in their life satisfaction when they retire. These results are robust to controlling for changes in other life circumstances and suggest that retiring is associated with a switch in the relevant social norms that causes an increase in identity utility for the formerly unemployed. This is supportive of the idea that, by including identity in the utility function, results from the empirical life satisfaction literature can be reconciled with the economic theory of individual utility.

Applied Micro Seminar Schumpeterian Growth for Micro Enterprises in Developing Countries
Schumpeterian Growth for Micro Enterprises in Developing Countries: Evidence from Phone Card Wholesalers in Mongolia
Abstract: Since Development economics was established as a field, economists have been interested in the factors that transform subsistence sector into capital one. Much of the current development literature on small and micro enterprises (SMEs) is focused on how subsistence entrepreneurs, or small enterprise owners, expand their businesses and which factors affect this transformation. This study examines the cost structure of SMEs and evaluates the impact of a cost-reducing technology on business expansion and customer welfare. Specifically, using data collected from a field survey, combined with data collected by server computers at a telecommunication company, I examine the entry behavior of prepaid phone card wholesalers into new markets in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, and estimate the cost function. I further evaluate the impact of a cost-reducing technology and calculate the benefit of this technology for SMEs. The result shows that cost distribution determines SME entry behavior, and the introduction of a cost-reducing technology led to reduced costs for wholesalers and permitted them to expand their business and make product available in an expanded market. The wholesalers’ benefit (due to reduced travel costs) is estimated to be 16% of their monthly sales. This implies that technology improvement can transform subsistence entrepreneurs into larger businesses in a non-agricultural sector in developing countries. Additionally, this study, one of only a few that connect entrepreneurship with development, shows microeconomic evidence of Schumpeterian growth.

Applied Micro Seminar The role of parental income over the life cycle: a comparison of Sweden and the UK
Previous research on intergenerational income mobility has shown stronger persistence between parental and offspring’s income in the UK than in Sweden. We use similar data sets for the two countries to explore whether these cross-national differences show up already early in life in indicators such as birth weight, grades at the end of compulsory school at age 16, height during adolescence, and final educational attainment. We do indeed find significant country differences in the association between parental income and these outcomes, and the associations are stronger in the UK than in Sweden. We also investigate whether these differentials are large enough to account for a substantial part of the difference in intergenerational persistence estimates. We then conclude that the country differences in the intergenerational associations in birth weight and height are not strong enough to account for hardly any fraction of the UK-Sweden difference in intergenerational income mobility. On the other hand, for grades and final education our results suggest that the country differences can account for a substantial part of the difference in income persistence.

Seminar
Climate Change and Health
Berlin Network of Labour Market Researchers (BeNA)
Aufgrund einer Erkrankung musste Maike Neumann ihren Vortrag heute abend leider kurzfristig absagen, so dass das Seminar ausfällt.
Maike Neumann (TU Darmstadt) will present the project "Climate Change and Health".
Abstract: Climate Change is one of the most formidable challenges of modern society. The ecological environment will be affected in many different ways. One particular aspect is the change in temperature distribution. This change will proceed in two different ways: on the one hand average temperatures are predicted to rise and on the other hand meteorological experts anticipate more frequent and intense occurrences of extreme temperatures. Both of them lead to thermal stress on human bodies and thereby influence the health situation. The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of changing temperatures on public health in Hamburg as representative city of Germany. Using standard econometric time series techniques, we analyze the impact of extreme temperatures. The regarded health variable is the daily mortality rate. High frequency data from the German Weather Service and the Statistical Office of Hamburg and Schleswig Holstein builds the basis for the empirical analysis. The fundamental methodological assumption of this study is linearity in the effects of weather events, as it is commonly assumed in previous studies. Overall the estimates of the different specifications of our general model predict a rising impact of high temperatures on daily mortality and therefore negative climate induced implications for the health status in Hamburg. Regarding the term structure we can conclude that in particular the hypothesis of the harvesting effect cannot be approved by the analysis of our data.

Seminar
Job Creation Subsidies and Employment. Empirical Evidence for Germany
Berlin Network of Labour Market Researchers (BeNA)
Claudia Steinwender (LSE) will present "Job Creation Subsidies and Employment. Empirical Evidence for Germany".
Abstract: Many European countries use job creation programmes in order to raise employment, especially in economically disadvantaged regions. Despite the amount of resources spent on these programmes, rigorous empirical evaluation about their causal effect is scarce. This is mainly due to difficulties in identication, as eligibility for job creation subsidies at the regional level is endogenous. This paper exploits an exogenous change to the rules determining regional subsidy eligibility in Germany to construct valid counterfactuals. The empirical evaluation is not able to find an impact of the availability of job creation subsidies on regional employment. This result is robust to different specifications and research designs. My findings can be interpreted in the context of a search and matching framework, where increased job creations due to hiring subsidies induce more worker quits; and under certain circumstances offsets the positive effect on employment.

Berlin Lunchtime Meeting Measuring Well-being and the Progress of Societies - New Initiatives
Martine Durand, Director OECD Statistics
Comment: Roland Zieschank, Free University
Chair: Heino von Meyer, Head, OECD Berlin Centre
“Is life getting better?” GDP and its growth - key indicators widely used to assess economic performance - are increasingly questioned as meaningful measures of social welfare, prosperity and progress. Yet, sound statistics are essential for public trust in policy choices and communication. Relevant and reliable data are a prerequisite for evidence-based policy design, implementation and evaluation.
The Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi-Commission initiated by French President Nicolas Sarkozy as well as the EU initiative “GDP and beyond” have critically reviewed our current statistics and identified many shortcomings as well as areas for improvement. The Global Project on "Measuring the Progress of Societies"- hosted by the OECD and run in collaboration with other international and regional partners - seeks to develop statistics for measuring well-being and progress that reach beyond traditional approaches to GDP accounting.
Martine Durand was appointed Director of Statistics and Chief Statistician of the OECD in 2010. She oversees all of OECD’s statistical activities and is also responsible for OECD work on the measurement of well-being and the progress of societies. She was formerly Deputy-Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs. She held senior positions in the OECD Economics Directorate and was Deputy-Head of the OECD Secretary-General’s Private Office. Martine Durand graduated in mathematics, statistics and economics from the Paris VI University, the Ecole Nationale de la Statistique et de l’Administration Economique (ENSAE) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
