Are Fiscal Consolidation Episodes Helpful for Public Sector Efficiency?
Afonso, António; Alves, José - 2022
We assess the consequences of fiscal consolidation episodes on public sector efficiency (scores) for 35 OECD countries for the 2007-2020 period. We find that fiscal consolidations improve public sector efficiency and results are robust across efficiency models. Moreover, peripheral euro-area...

Climate Damages in Convergence-Consistent Growth Projections
Harding, Anthony; Moreno-Cruz, Juan; Quaas, Martin F.; … - 2023
Projections of climate change damages based on climate-econometric estimates suggest that, without mitigation, global warming could reduce average global incomes by over 20% towards the end of the century (Burke et al., 2015). This figure significantly surpasses climate damages in Integrated...

Inequality and the Environment : The Economics of a Two-Headed Hydra
Drupp, Moritz A.; Kornek, Ulrike; Meya, Jasper; Sager, Lutz - 2021

Why are Pollution Damages Lower in Developed Countries? Insights from High-Income, High-Particulate Matter Hong Kong
Colmer, Jonathan; Liu, Siying; Lin, Dajun; Shimshack, Jay - 2021
Conventional wisdom suggests that marginal damages from particulate matter pollution are high in less-developed countries because they are highly polluted. Using administrative data on the universe of births and deaths, we explore birthweight and mortality effects of gestational particulate...

The information content of capacity utilisation rates for output gap estimates
Graff, Michael; Sturm, Jan-Egbert - 2010
From a theoretical perspective, the output gap is probably the most comprehensive and convincing concept to describe the cyclical position of an economy. Unfortunately, for practical purposes, the concept depends on the determination of potential output, which is an inherently unobservable...

In this paper, we re-examine the productivity question by estimating factor-specific productivities from the individual …-augmenting technological differences. In particular, the factor-productivity adjustment works well for developed members of the OECD. Further …
