    Immigration and structural change: Evidence from Post-war Germany
    Leibniz Seminar für Arbeitsmarktforschung (BeNA)

    Speaker: Sebastian Braun (IFW Kiel)
    Ort: Humboldt Universität Berlin
    Raum 21b
    Spandauer Str. 1
    10178 Berlin
    Zeit: 6.30 - 8.00 pm

    Abstract: Does immigration accelerate sectoral change from low- to high-productivity sectors? This paper uses the mass displacement of ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe to West Germany after World War II as a natural experiment to study this question. A simple two-sector model of the economy, in which moving costs prevent the marginal product of labor to be equalized across sectors, predicts that ...

    Climate Change and Civil War in Somalia: Does Drought Fuel Conflict through Livestock Price Shocks?

    Speaker: Jean Francois Maystadt, International Food Policy Research Insitute (IFPRI)
    Ort: Eleanor-Dulles-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin

    Abstract: Climate change leads to more intense and more frequent droughts in Somalia. In a global context, weather shocks have been found to perpetuate poverty and fuel civil conflict. By relating regional and temporal variations in civil violence outbreaks and drought incidence, we demonstrate that this relationship also holds for Somalia at the local level. We find that livestock price shocks ...

    Do parties matter? Estimating the effect of political representation in multi-party systems
    Leibniz Seminar für Arbeitsmarktforschung (BeNA)

    Speaker: Ronny Freier (DIW Berlin)
    Ort: Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin
    Raum B002/3
    Reichpietschufer 50
    10785 Berlin
    Zeit: 6.30 - 8.00 pm

    Abstract: This paper estimates the causal effect of political representation in local governments on tax policy in municipalities under a proportional election system. The main challenge in estimating the causal effect of parties on policy is to isolate the effect of representation from underlying voter preferences and the selection effect of parties. We use an instrumental variable approach where ...

    On the Historical and Geographic Origins of the Sicilian Mafia

    Speaker: Paolo Vanin, University of Bologna
    Ort: Eleanor-Dulles-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 13:15-14:45

    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: ...

    Rich Dad, Smart Dad: Decomposing the Intergenerational Transmission of Income
    Leibniz Seminar für Arbeitsmarktforschung (BeNA)

    Speaker: Matthew Lindquist (Stockholm University)
    Ort: Gustav-Schmoller-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 3.3.002A
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 6.30 - 8.00 pm

    Abstract: We construct a simple model, consistent with Becker and Tomes (1979), that decomposes the intergenerational income elasticity into the causal effect of financial resources, the mechanistic transmission of human capital, and the role that human capital plays in the determination of fathers' permanent incomes. We show how a particular set of instrumental variables could separately identify ...

    Room 5.2.010
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 13:15-14:45

    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 ...

    Bombs, Brains, and Science: The Role of Human and Physical Capital for the Creation of Scientic Knowledge
    Leibniz Seminar für Arbeitsmarktforschung (BeNA)

    Speaker: Fabian Waldinger (University of Warwick)
    Ort: Gustav-Schmoller-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 3.3.002A
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 6.30 - 8.00 pm

    Abstract: This paper analyzes how human and physical capital affect the productivity of science departments. As inputs are often chosen on the basis of unobservable productivity factors and high quality scientists attract more funding for physical capital, I use two extensive shocks to identify the relative importance of human and physical capital. As a shock to physical capital I use department ...

    SOEP Brown Bag Seminar: Is health a predictor of job loss and high status attainment? A gender sensitive approach to health selection on the labor market
    Is health a predictor of job loss and high status attainment? A gender sensitive approach to health selection on the labor market

    Speaker: Hannes Neiss
    Ort: Gustav-Schmoller-Raum
    DIW Berlin im Quartier 110
    Room 3.3.002A
    Mohrenstraße 58
    10117 Berlin
    Zeit: 12:30 - 13:30

    Health effects on the labor market have most often been assessed using wage as the outcome variable. I estimate health effects on involuntary job loss and attainment of a high status position to see if health has an impact beyond wages. Using SOEP data and controlling for a wide range of human capital and non-labor-market constraints to capture indirect health selection I can show that there are ...
