Economic effects of transportation infrastructure quantity and quality : a study of German counties

Gaus, Dennis; Link, Heike - 2020

In this paper, we analyze the impact of transportation infrastructure quantity and quality on regional economic … infrastructure both locally and supra-regionally. We furthermore provide evidence for the claim that insufficient maintenance and low … infrastructure conditions significantly slow economic growth through a negative correlation between GDP and the quality grade of …

Local and spatial cointegration in the wage curve : a spatial panel analysis for German regions

Kosfeld, Reinhold; Dreger, Christian - 2015

The wage curve introduced by Blanchflower and Oswald (1990, 1994) postulates a negative correlation between wages and unemployment. Empirical results focus on particular theoretical channels establishing the relationship. Panel models mostly draw on unionized bargaining or the efficiency wage...

Way off: the effect of minimum distance regulation on the deployment and cost of wind power

Stede, Jan Patrick; Blauert, Marc; May, Nils - 2021

With the expansion of onshore wind power, countries increasingly consider the introduction of minimum distance regulations between wind turbines to nearby residential areas, to increase public acceptance. In 2014, the German federal state of Bavaria introduced a minimum distance regulation that...

Towards an East German wage curve : NUTS boundaries, labour market regions and unemployment spillovers

Kosfeld, Reinhold; Dreger, Christian - 2017

The relevance of spatial effects in the wage curve can be rationalized by the model of monopsonistic competition in regional labour markets. However, distortions in extracting the regional unemployment effects arise in standard regional (i.e. NUTS) classifications as they fail to adequately...

Agglomeration economies and firm TFP : different effects across industries

Gornig, Martin; Schiersch, Alexander - 2019

This paper analyzes the effect of agglomeration economies on firms’ total factor productivity. We propose the use of a control function approach to overcome the econometric issue inherent to the two-stage approach commonly used in the literature. Estimations are conducted separately for four...

Way off: the effect of minimum distance regulation on the deployment of wind power

Stede, Jan; May, Nils - 2020

Several countries and regions have introduced mandatory minimum distances of wind turbines to nearby residential areas, in order to increase public acceptance of wind power. Germany’s largest federal state Bavaria introduced such separation distances of ten times the height of new wind...

Where is the consumer center of St. Peterburg?

Cholodilin, Konstantin Arkadʹevič; Krylova, Irina; … - 2017

In an urban economy, the distribution of people and real estate prices depends on the location of the central business district of a city. As distance from the city center increases, both prices and population density diminish, for travel costs increase in terms of time and money. As...

Mitigation of methane emissions : a rapid and cost-effective response to climate change

Kemfert, Claudia; Schill, Wolf-Peter - 2009

Methane is a major anthropogenic greenhouse gas, second only to carbon dioxide (CO2) in its impact on climate change. Methane (CH4) has a high global warming potential that is 25 times as large as the one of CO2 on a 100 year time horizon according to the latest IPCC report. Thus, CH4...

How does fuel taxation impact new car purchases? : an evaluation using French consumer-level data

Givord, Pauline; Grislain-Letrémy, Céline; Naegele, Helene - 2014

This study evaluates the impact of fuel prices on new car purchases, using exhaustive individual-level data of monthly registration of new private cars in France from 2003 to 2007. Detailed information on the car holder enables us to account for heterogeneous preferences across purchasers. We...

Policy evaluation of waste pricing programs using heterogeneous causal effect estimation

Valente, Marica - 2021

Using machine learning methods in a quasi-experimental setting, I study the heterogeneous effects of introducing waste prices - unit prices on household unsorted waste disposal - on waste demands and social welfare. First, using a unique panel of Italian municipalities with large variation in...
