A macroeconomic model for the evaluation of labor market reforms
Krebs, Tom; Scheffel, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010
of labor market reform on unemployment, growth, and welfare. The model has a large number of risk-averse households who … households experienced significant welfare gains, whereas the long-term unemployed have lost in welfare terms. The effects of the … 2006-reform are qualitatively similar, but quantitatively much smaller. We also show that the social welfare maximizing …

Catching the rebound: Economy-wide implications of an efficiency shock in the provision of transport services by households
Koesler, Simon - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013
We investigate the rebound effect of a 10% energy cefficiency improvement in the provision of private transport services by German households. In the process, we take into account that household behaviour may be influenced by habits, build on a detailed representation of the provision of private...

Beyond national economy-wide rebound effects: An applied general equilibrium analysis incorporating international spillover effects
Koesler, Simon; Swales, Kim; Turner, Karen - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2014
This paper proposes that the national focus of energy 'rebound' studies should be extended to an international context in the presence of supra-national agreements such as EU 20-20-20. The potential for energy efficiency improvements in one nation to impact energy use in others means that...

Industrial ecology in policy making: What is achievable and what is not?
Pothen, Frank - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010
A diverse set of tools has been developed in Industrial Ecology to tackle the problems caused by human economic activity. These instruments include Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Material Flow Analysis (MFA). Especially LCA is now increasingly used in policy making. Design and Evaluation of...

The ZEW combined microsimulation-CGE model: innovative tool for applied policy analysis
Clauss, Markus; Schubert, Stefanie - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009
This contribution describes the linkage of microsimulation models and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models using two already established models called "STSM" and "PACE-L" used by the Centre for European Economic Research. This state of the art research method for applied policy analysis...

Heterogeneous labour markets in a microsimulation-AGE model: application to welfare reform in Germany
Boeters, Stefan; Feil, Michael - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2009
Labour market reforms that are designed to stimulate labour supply at the lower end of the wage distribution can never be precisely restricted to affect only the target group. Spillovers to and feedback from other segments of the labour market are unavoidable and may counteract the direct...
