This paper investigates the robustness of CGE models with respect to the elasticities of substitution in demand between domestically produced goods and foreign goods – the so-called Armington elasticities. The Armington-type modeling of trade is still one of the most extensively used...

The study estimates the housing supply elasticity and the impact of geographic constraints in Germany from 2008 … elasticity of 0.22 and a units elasticity of 0.25. The study also reveals that geographical constraints partially affect the … housing supply elasticity across districts. Notably, high development intensity decreases the elasticity, while the …

We study the role of heterogeneous preferences at the spousal level and that of spousal mutual insurance against wage shocks for couples’ labor supply in a time-use model. We estimate the model for couples in the German Time-Use Survey with Bayesian techniques and generate gender-specific...

This paper empirically assesses the relative role of health plan prices, service quality and optional benefits in the … prices for almost all German health plans. Mixed logit models incorporate a total of 1,700 health plan choices with more than … 50 choice sets for each individual. The findings suggest that, compared to prices, health plan service quality and …
