Acceptance of Pricing Instruments in the Transport Sector

Type:

CESifo Seminar

Print view

Lecturer(s):

Hannelore Weck-Hannemann, Universit�t Innsbruck

Topic:

Economists generally favour the price system in order to give incentives to adjust individual behaviour. However, the acceptability of incentive-based instruments in actual environmental and transport policy seems to be rather moderate. The arguments given for and against the use of price incentives in environmental and transport policy were discussed. Special emphasis was placed on the reasoning within a polico-economic analysis and on the relevance of fairness considerations and instrinsic motivation.

Would you Like to Shrink the Welfare State? The Opinions of European Citizens

Type:

CESifo Seminar

Print view

Lecturer(s):

Axel B�rsch-Supan, University of Mannheim

Topic:

The European welfare states have fundamental problems, in particular high unemployment and unsustainable public pensions. Although these problems have been debated for years, we have seen little reform. Why so? A prominent explanation points to a political economy equilibrium that will only change if matters get considerably worse. In order to shed light on this, we have conducted a survey in France, Germany, Italy and Spain on unemployment insurance and public pension reform. Our main results are:
1. Many citizens are ill informed about the welfare state. This matters because ill-informed citizens are less favourable towards reforms.
2. Most citizens want to preserve the status quo size of social benefits, in spite of high current taxes and contributions.
3. However, many citizens are willing to change the way in which these benefits are provided. A majority is willing to opt out of the public pension system and replace it with private pensions. In Italy and Spain, a majority wants to shift transfers away from pensions to unemployment benefits.
4. Since conflicts of interests over the welfare state are aligned along age, income, and in-sider/outsider status, reforms can be packaged strategically to build a large coalition of supporters.

Workshop on the Pension System

Almost all industrialised countries are facing demographic change which jeopardises their old-age security systems.

Invited keynotes speakers were Pierre Pestieau (University of Li�ge) and Gary Burtless (Brookings Institute). In the contributory sessions, theoretical and empirical work on efficiency, distribution and political stability of pension systems were presented.

Missbrauchsaufsicht �ber Marktbeherrschende Unternehmen: Kann die Theorie der Praxis helfen?

Type:

Munich Seminar

Print view

Lecturer(s):

Carl-Christian von Weizs�cker, University of Cologne

Topic:

Durch den Microsoft -Fall ist die Missbrauchsaufsicht �ber marktbeherrschende Unternehmen jedem Zeitungsleser in das Bewusstsein ger�ckt worden. Es soll nach der Einigung zwischen der US-Regierung und Microsoft eine Zwischenbilanz dieses noch keineswegs beendeten Verfahrens gezogen werden. Es geht in dem Vortrag dar�ber hinaus vor allem um die Frage, ob die heutige Wirtschaftstheorie Hilfe bei der Beantwortung der schwierigen Fragen leisten kann, die bei Verfahren wegen Missbrauchsbrauchs einer marktbeherrschenden Stellung aufgeworfen werden. Besonderes Augenmerk soll der Frage nach dem "Monopoly Leveraging", nach der Ausdehnung einer Monopolstellung auf neue M�rkte gewidmet werden, die im Microsoft-Fall eine zentrale Rolle spielt, die aber auch im Europ�ischen Kartellrecht zunehmend an Bedeutung gewinnt (Vgl. z.B. Tetra-Pak II -Entscheidung des EuGH). Der Vortrag wird ohne Formeln und ohne juristischen Jargon auskommen und wendet sich nicht zuletzt an Interessenten aus dem Gesch�ftsleben.
