Frau Zehetner war seit 2012 für den Satz der Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft verantwortlich. Sie war mit ihren hohen handwerklichen Ansprüchen die Garantin für ein gelungenes Layout unserer Zeitschrift. Sie hat uns mit ihrer Schnelligkeit und Flexibilität aus vielen terminlichen und grafischen Problemen geholfen. Mit viel Geduld hat sie jede neue Generation von Redakteur:innen über die Bedeutung von Laufweiten, Durchschüssen, Bogengrößen und anderen Geheimnissen der Setzer:innenkunst aufgeklärt. Bis zum Schluss hat sie ihre Arbeit mit großer Leidenschaft erledigt und wir werden ihre offene und freundliche Art sehr vermissen. Obwohl uns ihre schwere Erkrankung bekannt war, ist ihr Tod dennoch eine überraschende und traurige Nachricht. Unsere Anteilnahme gilt ihrer Familie, Freund:innen und Bekannten.","PeriodicalId":81609,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch fur Geschichte von Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Lateinamerikas","volume":"73 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135951586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Austria: Policies dealing with the inflation crisis","authors":"Sepp Zuckerstätter, Lukas Kafenda, Mattias Muckenhuber, Reinhold Russinger","doi":"10.59288/wug484.167","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.59288/wug484.167","url":null,"abstract":"Inflation in Austria started to rise from mid-2021 during recovery from the Corona crisis. The Russian invasion in Ukraine and the heavy increases in energy prices made things worse and brought inflation to over 10%. The government did not enter into direct formal negotiations with social partners but subsequent anti-inflation packages met many demands made by the social partners. The attempt to influence wage negotiations via a tax exemption for one-off payments failed as they were not widely used in collective agreements. One-off payments are not suitable to compensate for permanent real wage losses. Current wage negotiations are tougher than usual, requiring long negotiation rounds including the thread of industrial action. The policy of unions to base their demand on past inflation allows for a substantial delay in nominal wage increases. The government has not yet included more direct measures to fight high inflation, like direct price controls, changes to the design of markets, or reforms of the automatic housing rent indexation. The wage setting system in Austria is still working but it will remain difficult to reach agreements, especially as a substantial part of the real wage losses has to be recovered over the coming years. A stronger use of regulatory measures and direct public involvement in the energy, housing and potentially the food price sector might be required if the current energy supply crisis and the transformation to a low carbon economy should be managed successfully in the future.","PeriodicalId":81609,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch fur Geschichte von Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Lateinamerikas","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135951594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been amplified by the functioning of energy markets, especially electricity, and price increases have spread progressively to other sectors. As a result, the forecast average inflation in 2022 is 8.5%, similar to the Eurozone average. Until August 2022, Spain had a year-on-year inflation rate above this average, but the trend has changed: in October, inflation fell by 3.4 pp in Spain, while it had risen by 1.6 pp in the monetary union. Spain was the economy with the second lowest inflation. The authorities have adopted significant measures to reduce inflation, especially in energy (capping gas in the electricity market, limiting the gas price for consumers in the regulated tariff, lowering indirect taxes, or discounts for vulnerable households) and public transport and housing rents. Other measures include transfers to the most affected households and economic sectors to offset the effects of inflation. Despite this, weak nominal wage growth and the pass-through by firms of higher costs to their prices (maintaining or increasing profit margins) are leading to an unequal distribution of the effects of inflation, which wage earners mainly bear. Changing this situation should be the focus of economic policy from now on.","PeriodicalId":81609,"journal":{"name":"Jahrbuch fur Geschichte von Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Lateinamerikas","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135951581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
