Stratégie optimale de stockage de déchets radioactifs à vie longue sous contrainte de capacité
Villeneuve, Bertrand - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2013
The paper models a program of high‐activity nuclear‐waste management. The physics of cooling incites to store hot waste for a while to spare scarce disposal volume: indeed, colder parcels may be put in tighter conditions. The optimal unconstrained duration of storage is characterized....

Employment changes in environmentally innovative firms
Rennings, Klaus; Ziegler, Andreas; Zwick, Thomas - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2001
This paper analyses the determinants of employment reactions induced by environmental innovations. On the basis of the parameter estimates of the Multinomial Logit and of several Multinomial Probit Models, we show that we have to distinguish between the factors that have an impact on employment...

The own-wage elasticity of labor demand: A meta-regression analysis
Lichter, Andreas; Peichl, Andreas; Siegloch, Sebastian - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
Firms' labor demand responses to wage changes are of key interest in empirical research and policy analysis. However …, despite extensive research, estimates of labor demand elasticities remain subject to considerable heterogeneity. In this paper …, we conduct a comprehensive meta-regression analysis to re-assess the empirical literature on labor demand elasticities …
