Dynamic hospital competition under rationing by waiting times

Sá, Luís; Siciliani, Luigi; Straume, Odd Rune - 2019

We develop a dynamic model of hospital competition where (i) waiting times increase if demand exceeds supply; (ii …) patients choose a hospital based in part on waiting times; and (iii) hospitals incur waiting time penalties. We show that … to higher waiting times. These results are robust to different game-theoretic solution concepts, designs of the hospital …

Monetary policy in the presence of supply constraints : evidence from German firm-level data

Balleer, Almut; Nöller, Marvin - 2023

Using firm-level survey data from Germany, this paper asks how do supply constraints propagate monetary policy shocks? To answer this question, we first offer a general discussion on the measurement of supply constraints. We show that capacity utilization, a widely accepted measure of...

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...

Downtown curbside parking capacity

Arnott, Richard; Inci, Eren; Rowse, John G. - 2013

In downtown areas, what proportion of curbside should be allocated to parking? In contrast to most previous work on the economics of parking, this paper focuses on optimal curbside parking capacity in both first-best (where pricing is efficient) and second-best (where pricing is inefficient)...

Unoberserved components models for quarterly German GDP

Flaig, Gebhard - 2002

In this paper, an Unobserved Components Model is employed to decompose German real GDP into the trend, cycle and seasonal components and the working day effect. The most important findings are: 1) The growth rate of potential output declined from 4.2 per cent in the sixties to 1.4 per cent at...

Estimating the output gap using business survey data : a bivariate structural time series model for the German economy

Flaig, Gebhard; Ploetscher, Claudia - 2000

This paper deals with the estimation of the output gap. We use uni- and bivariate unobserved components models in order to decompose the observed German GDP-series into trend, cycle and seasonal components. The results show that using the ifo business assessment variable as an indicator for the...

Deep dynamics

Gottfries, Nils; Mickelsson, Glenn; Stadin, Karolina - 2021

How do firms adjust their output, inventories, employment and capital in response to demandsideshocks? To understand this, we estimate a reduced-form model using firm-level panel dataand we construct a theoretical model that can match the estimated impulse-response functions.A combination of...
