Fertility and Public Policy: How to Reverse the Trend of Declining Birth Rates

Type:

CESifo Conference

Print view

Topic:

CESifo and the Center of Intergenerational Studies at Hitotsubashi University are jointly organizing a conference which will address policy issues related to the fertility decline in developed countries. The conference will be held on February 1-2, 2008 in Munich. In most developed countries, fertility rates have fallen below a replacement level since the 1970s, the gap being really sizable in Japan and in many European countries. In developing countries, the current level of fertility is usually higher, but a declining trend is now also becoming apparent in many cases; for instance, in some urban areas in China, fertility rates are even below those observed in the developed world. Only the US appear to be a major demographic outlier in that the fertility rate there has recovered in the 1980s and has been rather stable at a replacement level since then. From an economist�s point of view, one of the crucial questions is whether the changes in private fertility choices reflected in these aggregate figures are the result of some kind of distortions, i.e., market failure or a more general type of institutional failure. It is of particular interest whether these distortions are generated, or at least exacerbated, through public intervention of one kind or another. Also, the question arises of whether, and to what extent, instruments of public policy could be used to influence fertility rates and to halt or even reverse their enduring decline.

Ethics and Economics 2008

Type:

CESifo Conference

Print view

Topic:

The Enron scandal shook the world, intensifying the discussion about business ethics. The issue of corporate social responsibility has gained further importance with the globalisation process. However, the issues of responsibility, justice and fairness are more general problems. They point to the interlink between us as homo oeconomicus and homo moralis, vividly analysed by our forerunner Adam Smith. The relationship between ethics and economics seems highly relevant when judging the behavior of human beings in business, politics and private life.

Economic Incentives: Do They Work in Education?

Type:

CESifo Conference

Print view

Topic:

To explore the use of economic incentives in education, CESifo Munich and the Program on Education Policy and Governance (PEPG) of Harvard University are jointly hosting a conference in Munich. Building on the success of a previous joint conference, whose proceedings are about to be published by MIT Press, the scientific organizers, Paul E. Peterson (Harvard) and Ludger Woessmann (Munich), hope to again bring scholarly perspectives together from both sides of the Atlantic. Jean-Jacques Rousseau once claimed that the best education was one that the child discerned for himself. The tutor was to �do nothing and let nothing be done� so that the child would be free to learn whatever he needed to know without external pressure. When it comes to learning, incentives � whether cash or compli�ments � had perverse consequences. Was Rousseau correct? Do incentives operate differently in education than in other sectors of society? What kinds of incentives prompt learning? Which ones deter it? Do students respond to economic rewards? Do teachers respond to material rewards for meritorious accomplishments? Or do they regard them as demeaning? Are extrinsic incentives preferable to intrinsic ones, monetary incentives to non-monetary ones? If schools face competition for students, do they become more efficient? Answers to many education policy issues � merit pay, graduation requirements, social promotion policies, school choice options, school accountability provisions, and many others � depend on how incentives work in education. Currently, scholars are exploring these questions in greater depth and with more sophistication than ever before. Major breakthroughs in theoretical understanding, computational capacity, and data availability are rapidly altering the knowledge landscape. Help in advancing the knowledge may also come from recent advances in behavioral economics.

CESifo will hold the annual CESifo Area Conference on Employment and Social Protection in Munich for all members of the CESifo Research Network with an interest in this research area.

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. The deadline for submission of complete papers, or 2-3 page abstracts, is February 29, 2008. Preference will be given to complete papers.

Topic:

The Leibniz-supported project on Reinventing Europe marks the 50th Anniversary of the Treaty of Rome and seeks to discuss a future direction for European integration. This workshop will focus on the global context for this process, and specifically global environmental issues. How will global environmental considerations shape European processes? How should Europe approach global negotiations? How will trade and other policies be affected by environmental considerations? What should the design objectives be for a European process? Coverage will extend to carbon emissions eco trade, energy trade, trade with lax standard countries, and other topics.

Type:

CESifo Conference

Print view

Topic:

The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers interested in the study of the determinants of illicit trade. The main focus of the conference will be drug trade, counterfeiting and arms smuggling. This workshop intends to analyse the impact that globalisation may have had on the volume and nature of illicit trade. Consequently, we look for theoretical and empirical contributions which analyse and measure the mechanisms through which globalisation has changed the different forms of illicit trade (for instance in terms of its volume, value, and organisational structure).

Venice Summer Institute 2008 - Workshop on Executive Pay

Type:

CESifo Conference

Print view

Topic:

Rising executive pay has contributed to increased skewness at the top of the income distribution. There is much controversy regarding whether this phenomenon is market-driven, reflecting efficient corporate governance, or represents a misuse of managerial power. The workshop wants to contribute to this debate and address issues of corporate governance (competitive pressure, stock options as an incentive mechanism, shareholder exploitation), the impact on efficiency and income inequality, and other such issues. The purpose of this workshop is to attract original contributions on these issues. All contributions with applied/policy aspects are welcome. By way of background, there will be invited lectures, one of them given by Ian Dew-Becker (Harvard University).

Venice Summer Institute 2008 - Workshop on Taxation of Multinational Firms

Type:

CESifo Conference

Topic:

The increasing internationalisation of firms raises many difficult questions for the taxation of corporate income. For example, how do differences in taxes between jurisdictions affect the location of firms, capital and profit? To what extent can, and should, governments compete with each other to influence these location decisions? Is the traditional source-based tax feasible in the long run � and are there any reasonable alternatives? How important are tax havens? How important is information sharing between governments? The purpose of this workshop is to discuss original contributions on these and related questions.

Topic:

Allocation problems and distributional conflicts are often resolved as the outcome of processes in which the players can decide how much effort to invest, in which this effort is sunk, and in which goods, prizes or other types of rewards are awarded as a function of these efforts. The study of such structures in politics, business, litigation and in many other areas has attracted considerable attention by theoreticians and experimental game theorists.

Venice Summer Institute 2008 - Workshop on Reforming Rules and Regulations

Type:

CESifo Conference

Print view

Topic:

The focus of the workshop will be on reforming rules and regulations with an eye towards helping markets function better. In many instances, underlying rules and regulations hinder the competitive functioning of the markets, leading to loss of consumer or total welfare. In a broad sense, the loss may manifest itself in a variety of dimensions such as higher prices, lower product variety and quality, reduced product and process innovation, and reduced quantity supplied to the markets. In recent years, many countries have taken steps to reform various domestic rules and regulations to improve the functioning of markets.

Reform of the Welfare State: A New European Model

Type:

CESifo Conference

Print view

Topic:

European Integration and globalization are taking systems� competition into the areas of the welfare state, including labour market institutions, public education, social protection and income redistribution, which are operated at the national level. These trends are putting the traditional, Western European-style welfare state under substantial pressure, inducing changes and necessitating adaptations in many fields. A major sub-task of the Ifo�CESifo initiative on �How to Construct Europe�, supported by the Leibniz Community, is to determine how central functions of the welfare state can be stabilised under these conditions and to identify potential characteristics of a new European model for the welfare state that appears to sustainable for the future.
