Howitzvej 13, meeting room 5th floor:
Does workforce diversity boost export?
Speaker: Dario Pozzoli, Ph.D, post-doctoral researcher, Aarhus School of Business, Department of Economics
We analyze how labor diversity affects a firm's internationalization process. The composition of the labor force matters along two dimensions for the export behavior of firms. First, labor diversity may raise firm productivity and thus the export propensity. Secondly, it may increase the managerial and organizational ability of the firm, because it faces the challenge of diversity management, and thereby reduces the firm's fixed cost of exporting.

2 February 2010, 13.00 - 14.30

Solbjerg plads 3 - room SPs13 Velux:
Do attitudes towards immigrants matter?
Speaker: Associate Professor Birthe Larsen, Department of Economics, CBS.
Birthe Larsen presents research on the consequences of negative attitudes towards immigrants' welfare based on regional variation in negative attitudes towards immigrants to Sweden.
For example, the data show that a well educated immigrant from a non-developed country who lives in a municipality with strong negative attitudes earns less than what she would earn if she lived in a municipality where natives are more positive. This effect is interpreted as evidence of labour market discrimination.
The welfare effect of negative attitudes is then estimated, through their wages and local amenities, for immigrants with different levels of skills and origin.

:
Powerful dichotomies: Inclusion and exclusion in the information society
Associate Professor Ester Barinaga, Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy.
Technological development is frequently presented as the answer to many contemporary social problems. Poverty, lack of democracy, failing integration, unemployment, all may be dealt with the adequate technological means. In this kind of analysis inequality is often phrased in terms of a digital divide.
The solution to inequality is thus given: invest in developing high-tech regions. And yet, looking at well known high-tech regions, such as Silicon Valley in the US or Kista in the north of Stockholm, we see that these regions reproduce and reinforce socio-economic inequality.
This lecture aims at unveiling the practices of high-tech regions that contribute to perpetuate inequality.
