On the heterogeneous trade and welfare effects of GATT/WTO membership

Felbermayr, Gabriel; Larch, Mario; Yalçin, Erdal; … - 2020

We build on the latest developments in the structural gravity literature to quantify the partial and general equilibrium effects of GATT/WTO membership on trade and welfare. Using an extensive database covering manufacturing trade for 186 countries over the period 1980-2016, we find that the...

Can degrowth overcome the leakage problem of unilateral climate policy?

Larch, Mario; Löning, Markus; Wanner, Joschka - 2017

Unilateral climate policy suffers from carbon leakage, i.e. the (partial) offset of the initial emission reduction by increases in other countries. Different than most typically discussed climate policies, degrowth not only aims at reducing the fossil fuel use in an economy, but rather at a...

Computers and student learning : bivariate and multivariate evidence on the availability and use of computers at home and at school

Fuchs, Thomas (contributor); Woessmann, Ludger (contributor) - 2004

We estimate the relationship between students ̕educational achievement and the availability and use of computers at home and at school in the international student-level PISA database. Bivariate analyses show a positive correlation between student achievement and the availability of computers...

The effect heterogeneity of central exams : evidence from TIMSS, TIMSS-Repeat and PISA

Woessmann, Ludger (contributor) - 2004

This paper uses extensive student-level micro databases of three international student achievement tests to estimate heterogeneity in the effect of external exit exams on student performance along three dimensions. First, quantile regressions show that the effect tends to increase with student...

Education policy and equality of opportunity

Schütz, Gabriela (contributor); … - 2005

We provide a measure of equality of educational opportunity in 54 countries, estimated as the effect of family background on student performance in two international TIMSS tests. We then show how organizational features of the education system affect equality of educational opportunity. Our...
