Any serious empirical study of factor substitutability has to allow the data to display complementarity as well as substitutability. The standard approach reflecting this idea is a translog specification – this is also the approach used by numerous studies analyzing the relative capital-skill...

This paper compares technologies across space and time on the basis of factual and counterfactual substitution elasticities and argues that differences in estimated substitution elasticities should be decomposed into two counterfactual components. While the first component is designed to...

Der Rohstoffgehalt der Erdkruste ist endlich. Diese unumstößliche Tatsache löst in Zeiten hoher Rohstoffpreise immer wieder große Besorgnis um die derzeitige, vor allem aber um die zukünftige Rohstoffversorgung aus. Gestützt auf die Medien schüren besonders Interessengruppen derartige...

Die Benzinpreise in Deutschland sind so hoch wie nie. Während sich Verbraucher und die im Wahlkampf engagierte Politik mit Vorschlägen zu staatlichen Interventionen überschlagen, scheinen diese bei nüchterner Betrachtung jedoch nicht gerechtfertigt. So besitzt die deutsche Politik zum einen...
