Training, Mobility, and Wages: Specific Versus General Human Capital

Garloff, Alfred; Kuckulenz, Anja - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2005

This paper considers training, mobility decisions and wages together to test for the specificity of human capital … contained in continuing training courses. We empirically analyse the relationship between training, mobility and wages in two … ways. First, we examine the correlation between training and mobility. In a second step, we consider wage effects of …

What drives WTP for energy efficiency when moving? Evidence from a Germany-wide household survey

Kesternich, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010

The political discussion on energy efficiency is focusing more and more on the building sector due to its susceptibility to potential market failures like the negative external pollution effects of CO2 emission. Using a discrete choice approach, this paper aims at deriving factors which increase...

Do environmental benefits matter? A choice experiment among house owners in Germany

Achtnicht, Martin - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2010

Residential buildings strongly contribute to global CO2 emissions due to the high energy demand for electricity and heating, particularly in industrialised countries. Within the EU, decentralised heat generation is of particular relevance for future climate policy, as its emissions are not...

ICT and the demand for energy: Evidence from OECD countries

Rexhaeuser, Sascha; Schulte, Patrick; Welsch, Heinz - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

This paper analyzes the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT) and energy demand. We construct a comprehensive cross-country cross-industry panel data set covering 13 years, 10 OECD countries, and 27 industries. Using up to 2889 country-industry observations, we find...

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...

Energy efficiency and industrial output: The case of the iron and steel industry

Flues, Florens; Rübbelke, Dirk; Vögele, Stefan - Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) - 2013

The iron and steel industry is one of the most carbon emitting and energy consuming sectors in Europe. At the same time this sector is of high economic importance for the European Union. Therefore, while public environmental and energy policies target this sector, there is political concern that...
