Die Zukunft der Energieversorgung - Atomausstieg, Versorgungssicherheit und Klimawandel
Type:
Conference
Print view
Topic:
Die Versorgung mit Energie ist die Basis unseres Wohlstands. Eine unbeschränkte Nutzung bisheriger Energieträger, ob zur Strom- und Wärmeerzeugung oder auch für den Verkehr, trägt aber zugleich wesentlich zum Klimawandel bei. Der Beschluss, alle deutschen Kernkraftwerke bis 2022 still zu legen und Strom überwiegend aus erneuerbaren Energien zu gewinnen, stellt enorme Herausforderungen nicht nur an Technik und Wirtschaft, sondern an uns alle. Es gilt, die Balance zwischen Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und Klimaschutz bei hoher Zuverlässigkeit der Energieversorgung und ohne unverhältnismäßigen Anstieg der Energiepreise zu wahren.

Management and Economics of ICT
Type:
Ifo Conference
Print view
Topic:
New technologies have spread widely throughout the economy. Information goods differ substantially from traditional goods because marginal production costs are negligible, and because of the existence of network externalities and complementarities. This has implications for firms and customers, market structures, public policy and economic growth. The goal of the conference is to bring together scholars and practitioners who approach the question of the interdependencies between Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), innovation, strategy, regulation and growth from different angles. The research fields the conference aims to cover are Innovation and Diffusion, Strategy in ICT Markets, Public Policy and Regulation, and Productivity and Growth.

Bogenberger Erklärung und Target-Kredite der Deutschen Bundesbank
Type:
Press Conference
Print view
Topic:
Der Verband der Familienunternehmer teilt die Sorge des ifo Instituts, dass sich Deutschland mit den sogenannten Rettungsaktionen übernimmt, Aktionen, die in Wahrheit nicht zur Rettung dienen, sondern die nötigen Problemlösungen in den betroffenen Ländern hinausschieben. Mit besonderer Sorge sehen wir die anwachsenden Target-Salden des EZB-Systems. Im Gegensatz zur Meinung der Bundesregierung zeigen diese Salden eine öffentliche Kreditgewährung zwischen den Notenbanken der Eurozone an, deren Natur der Kreditgewährung über die Luxemburger Rettungsschirme EFSF und ESM ähnlich ist. Im Rahmen eines Pressegesprächs nehmen Dr. Manfred Wittenstein, Vorstandsvorsitzender der Wittenstein AG, Michael Moritz, Vorsitzender der ordnungspolitischen Kommission, Verband der Familienunternehmer, und Prof. Hans-Werner Sinn, Präsident des ifo Instituts, zu der Problematik Stellung.

CESifo Area Conference on Employment and Social Protection 2012
Type:
CESifo Area Conference
Print view
Topic:
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together CESifo members to present and discuss their ongoing research, and to stimulate interaction and co-operation between them. All CESifo Research Network members are invited to submit their papers, which may deal with any topic within the domains of employment and social protection. Both domains are to be broadly defined, the former including, in particular, issues of the organisation of labour. The latter domain, in turn, includes not only governmental institutions of the welfare state, like social insurance, but also other non-governmental institutions of the welfare society, such as the family, or charities and informal networks, social norms and altruistic behaviour. Please note that this conference is open to CESifo network members only.

Venice Summer Institute 2012: Portability of Social Benefits: The Economics of a Critical Topic in Globalisation
Type:
CESifo Conference
Print view
Topic:
The international portability of social benefits is an increasing concern for individuals and policy-makers. The concern reflects rising labour mobility as a key feature of globalisation, which adds to increasing labour mobility across firms, professions and sectors of industry. To the extent that mobility is welfare-enhancing, migration decisions of individuals should not be influenced by a lack of portability of benefits providing for old age, disability, health care, unemployment and other contingencies for which acquired rights have been established. Broader definitions of portability may be conceived of. In the practical sphere, legal rules addressing the portability of social benefits exist through multilateral agreements (e.g., within the EU) or on a bilateral basis. International organisations are also engaged in discussing the situation of, and shaping the framework for, migrant workers. Thus far, however, the number of contributions in which economists investigate basic conceptual issues, the optimality of existing arrangements or alternative approaches in a rigorous analytical framework and with in-depth empirical research is limited. The conference is thus meant to stimulate further research and to create an opportunity for discussions of topics such as the following:
objectives of portability and optimal design of portability rules,
conceptual issues arising in different sub-fields, old-age provision and health care in particular,
assessments of broad portability regimes and existing agreements,
empirical work on the effects of portability, or a lack thereof.
Note that this list is not meant to be exhaustive. Practical views on the theme and on key issues deserving further research may be integrated through comments and a panel discussion.

Venice Summer Institute 2012: Cross Border Mobility of Students and Researchers
Type:
CESifo Conference
Print view
Topic:
The workshop mainly intends to address the following topics: 1. Mobility of Higher Education students across Europe and the world is increasing, but it creates imbalances (some countries are net importers of students, like Austria and Belgium, while others are net exporters); moreover, many graduates spend their career in jurisdictions other than their country of origin or education. In such a context, how to finance efficiently and fairly the cost of studies and the cost of living of mobile students? 2. Research is key for innovation and growth, and for our future in general. Though mainly financed by nation states, research generates cross-border externalities and researchers are increasingly mobile and integrated into international networks. How then to finance research efficiently? In that respect, are the European Research Council (ERC) grants an efficient and fair instrument? Which approaches deserve investigation and policy recommendation? 3. What is the impact of students’ and researchers’ mobility on economic efficiency, especially on the creation of a EU-wide single market for skilled workers and innovation? What is the impact on growth and on a fair distribution of economic and social progress? Contributions on these and related topics are welcome. The keynote lecture will be delivered by Nicholas Barr, London School of Economics

Venice Summer Institute 2012: The Economics of Long Term Care
Type:
CESifo Conference
Print view
Topic:
In most OECD countries the era of long-term care (LTC) has arrived. More than two out of five people aged 65 or older report having some type of functional limitation (sensory, physical, mental, self-care disability, or difficulty leaving home). A few years from now, the ageing trend will accelerate, fueled by the large “baby-boomer” generation, and the relative importance of people aged 65+ will more than double by 2050. On the other hand, with the drastic change in family values, the increasing number of childless households and the mobility of children, the number of dependent elderly who cannot count on the assistance of anyone is increasing. Those two parallel evolutions, demographic and societal, explain why there is a mounting demand on the government and the market to provide alternatives to the family that has been the most important provider of LTC services. The solution to a sustainable LTC policy appears to rest on an efficient and harmonious cooperation between the state, the market and the family. It is likely that the family will keep its leading role and that the market contribution will increase. At the same time, the state is expected to act proactively but, given the current public deficits, it has little degree of freedom. This CESifo Venice Summer Institute Workshop will welcome theoretical and empirical contributions dealing with the economics of LTC. Specific topics include (but are not limited to) the role and design of social LTC insurance, the operation and failures of private LTC insurance markets, provision of LTC within the family (motivation, potential of crowding out by alternative sources of provision), trends in the demand of LTC services, health economics aspects of LTC, etc.

Venice Summer Institute 2012: Taxation of the Financial Sector
Type:
CESifo Conference
Print view
Topic:
The recent financial crisis has triggered public support for new and increased taxes on the financial sector. Some see the financial sector as being too large and taking up too much risk due to implicit or explicit State guarantees, information asymmetries and tax privileges. In the European Union, for instance, the sector derives substantial benefits from being exempt from the VAT. Together with the considerable strains on public finances today, it provides firm political support to ensure that the financial sector makes a fair and substantial contribution to public budgets. Several countries across the world have already introduced new taxes on the financial sector, such as bank levies, transactions taxes, value-added taxes or payroll taxes. Moreover, the European Union and the G20 have been discussing options for coordinated action. At the same time, regulatory changes such as more stringent capital requirements are affecting the sector. This raises the question as to how taxes interact with regulation and how they should be jointly determined.

Venice Summer Institute 2012: The Theory and Empirics of the Green Paradox
Type:
CESifo Conference
Print view
Topic:
The interrelation between economics and the environment has posed a number of difficult challenges in the course of history. Climate change is universally considered to be probably the biggest challenge faced so far. A vast and diverse literature on the economics of climate change has developed. In designing climate policies, most economists have focused until recently on the demand-side of fossil fuel markets. The efficiency of climate policies, however, also depends critically on supply-side reactions, which have largely been ignored. Interest in the role of supply rose considerably after the publication in 2008 of Hans-Werner Sinn’s work on the Green Paradox. The concept of the Green Paradox entails that some of the policy instruments that have been favoured by economists, and implemented by some governments, might be counterproductive in the sense that they bring the supply of fossil fuels forward instead of postponing it. Since Sinn’s initial publication, the theoretical literature on the Green Paradox has grown considerably. The purpose of this workshop is to further contribute to this theoretical work but also to the empirical and numerical analyses in the field. We will therefore especially invite contributions dealing with •the theoretical analysis of supply reactions to climate policy, •new approaches to climate policy design, •numerical analysis of the Green Paradox, •empirical relevance of supply-side reactions.

Ifo/CESifo & Bundesbank Conference on The Banking Sector and the State
Type:
CESifo Conference
Print view
Topic:
This conference is jointly organized by the Department of International Institutional Comparisons of the Ifo Institute, CESifo and the Deutsche Bundesbank. As recent years have shown, there exist manifold linkages between the banking sector and the state. During the financial crisis, governments took extraordinary measures to ensure the proper functioning of financial markets and to prevent a collapse of the banking sector. As a result, risks moved from the banking sector to the public sector. On the other hand, banks usually hold large sovereign exposures, which helped countries to finance their budget deficits. This means, however, that the solvency of banks is inevitably linked to the solvency of the state. If the latter is imperilled, as is the case in some European countries, the consequences for the financial sector can be severe.
