The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic poses enormous societal challenges and may fundamentally alter social inequalities both within and between social groups. The pandemic also leads to newly emerging risk groups. The first aim of the session is to provide early evidence of how the pandemic and the governmental measures that accompanied it have altered social inequalities. The second aim of the session is to investigate the societal implications of SARS-CoV-2-related policies. I.e., to identify policies that have proven beneficial and to recommend policies that could be implemented to mitigate unintended side-effects. The session includes first evidence on (i) the socio-economic implications for employees in Germany; (ii) the self-employed; and (iii) refugees and other migrants.

150 years ago, the German Empire was founded. In this session we will discuss some key aspects of the (economic) origins of "1871" as well as several consequences for economic change. The session has two parts. In the first part, we discuss the formation of a national identity, as an important factor for nation building, the transition of Germany into a modern growth regime between 1850 and 1880, and the dynamics of growth and inequality between 1840 and 1913. In the second part, we discuss major consequences of "1871"for economic change: the political economy of Bismacks social insurance, Germany's adoption of the gold standard, and the integration of Germany into the global economy.

The econometric analysis of environmental Kuznets curves (EKCs), postulating an inverse U-shaped relationship between measures of economic development and measures of emissions, is an active and growing field. This session collects three papers that provide methodological advances for EKC analyses. All three papers consider a parametric polynomial formulation that accounts for the stochastically trending nature of GDP, i.e., all three papers consider cointegrating polynomial regressions. The first two papers consider a panel setting and develop estimation and inference techniques, the first one pooled estimators in a large cross-section and large time dimension setting and the second one a group-mean estimator in a finite cross-section dimension setting. The third paper develops tools for detecting and dating structural change, in a pure time series setting for the time being. The methods developed in all three papers are applied to similar data sets for carbon dioxide emissions.

Closing Speech
Targeted at advanced PhD students, Rüdiger Bachmann (University of Notre Dame) and Christian Bayer (Bonn University) offer a Webinar on the international econ jobmarket (ASSA&EEA). In addition to explaining the workings of the academic job market under normal times, we also try to discuss the impact of COVID19 on the upcoming job market.
The Webinar itself is structured as a Q&A session.
Moderation:
Christian Bayer (Bonn University)
