Abstract

Globalization, demographic trends, the green transition, and technological innovations are transforming labor markets in Europe and Central Asia, altering their institutional and contractual arrangements, and creating disparities and vulnerabilities in the labor force. Systemic risks - economic, health, or climate-related--are also playing an increased role in driving poverty and vulnerability. Social protection systems in Europe and Central Asia will need to be reformed to address these challenges and provide adequate protection to workers and families. Countries in the region responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by implementing social protection packages with a substantial contribution of job protection policies. Analysis of the impact of these policies suggests that while job protection policies may have preserved employment in the short run, this may have come at the expense of efficiency and growth. In the long run, income protection policies may be better at addressing the needs of vulnerable groups as labor markets continue evolving. A policy package that combines a guaranteed minimum income with labor market policies that facilitate job transitions can best help countries address long-term challenges.

Abstract

This paper uses Synthetic Control Methodology to estimate the output loss in Tunisia as a result of the "Arab Spring." The results suggest that the loss was 5.5 percent, 5.1 percent, and 6.4 percent of GDP in 2011, 2012, and 2013 respectively. These findings are robust to a series of tests, including placebo tests, and are consistent with those from an Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model of Tunisia's economic growth. Moreover, this paper finds that investment was the main channel through which the economy was adversely impacted by the Arab Spring.

Abstract

Den Einfluss von Wirkungserwartungen auf Geschäftsmodelle analysiert Martin Holler mithilfe einer Output-Outcome-Impact-Betrachtung am Beispiel von Berufsbildungswerken. Dabei gelingt ihm ein forschungs- sowie praxisrelevanter Rundumblick. Unter Berücksichtigung der besonderen Rahmenbedingungen der Sozialen Arbeit untersucht er, wie soziale Einrichtungen wirken sollen. Darauf aufbauend entwickelt er Weiterentwicklungsimpulse sowie ein modernes Managementverständnis für Berufsbildungswerke. Zeitgleich gelingt ihm eine Erweiterung des Grundverständnisses der Geschäftsmodell- und Wirkungsforschung. Somit werden Führungskräfte der beruflichen Rehabilitation, aber auch Studierende der Sozialen Arbeit und der Sozialwirtschaft angesprochen.

Abstract

Abstract: Limited-profit housing plays a significant role in Austria’s housing market. Around a quarter of all households live in homes owned or managed by a limited-profit housing association (LPHA). These associations are characterised by a distinct business model, based on the premise of cost-recovery and revolving funds. By deviating both from the logic of for-profit housing and from public housing, LPHAs occupy a distinct ‘Third Sector’ role in Austria’s housing market. This paper describes the key mechanisms and principles of limited-profit housing, including how they are financed, how rents are set, what components are included in price calculations and how they use revolving funds to finance future affordable housing construction. The paper also elaborates the impact of the limited-profit business model on rent levels and draws on a recent study to demonstrate their wider economic impacts.

Abstract

En 2015, le poids économique direct de la culture, c’est-à-dire la valeur ajoutée de l’ensemble des branches culturelles, est de 43 milliards d’euros. La part de la culture dans l’ensemble de l’économie (2,2 %) est en baisse et représente la valeur minimale de ce poids en vingt ans. À titre de comparaison, la branche hébergement et restauration réalise une valeur ajoutée de 55 milliards d’euros en 2015. Par rapport à 2008, la croissance des branches culturelles est nulle, ce qui s’explique par les différentes crises structurelles touchant l’architecture (- 2,3 % par an depuis 2008), la presse et le livre (respectivement - 2,1 % et - 1,7 % par an) ainsi que les agences de publicité (- 1,5 % par an). À l’inverse, certains secteurs sont en pleine croissance, notamment l’audiovisuel (+ 1,7 % par an) et le patrimoine (+ 2,8 % par an). L’audiovisuel et le spectacle vivant restent les deux premières branches culturelles en termes de poids économique et représentent, ensemble, 44 % de la valeur ajoutée des branches culturelles. Conséquence de cette croissance en berne, l’emploi culturel continue de baisser (- 3,6 % par rapport à 2014) et passe sous les 600 000 emplois. Depuis 2011, les branches culturelles ont perdu 80 000 emplois. In 2015, the direct economic impact of culture, i.e. the total value-added of all areas of culture, amounted to some 43 billion euros. The proportional value of culture within the economy as a whole fell to 2.2%, the lowest it has been for twenty years. For the purposes of comparison, the value-added of the hotel and catering industry was worth 55 billion euros in 2015. Compared with 2008, there has been zero growth across all areas of culture, which is due to the various ongoing economic crises affecting the sectors of architecture (down 2.3% year-on-year since 2008), press and book publishing (down 2.1% and 1.7% respectively, year-on-year) and advertising agencies (down 1.5% year-on-year). Conversely, sectors such as audiovisual (up 1.7%…
