robust empirical evidence that population aging depresses real estate prices and rents. Using millions of individual real … have been up to 12% higher, if the population age distribution had been the same as in 2008. We show that population aging … demand for living space and live-cycle dissaving are driving our results. We predict that population aging will continue to …

EU structural funds and regional income convergence : a sobering experience

Breidenbach, Philipp; Mitze, Timo; Schmidt, Christoph M. - 2016

The European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) are the prime instrument of EU regional policy. European policy makers place considerable hope into their growth stimulating funding measures to overcome current economic stagnation. Consequently, there is a strong need for credible evidence...

Risk perception of climate change : empirical evidence for Germany

Frondel, Manuel; Simora, Michael; Sommer, Stephan - 2017

The perception of risks associated with climate change appears to be a key factor for the support of climate policy measures. Using a generalized ordered logit approach and drawing on a unique data set originating from two surveys conducted in 2012 and 2014, each among more than 6,000 German...

Heterogeneity in residential electricity consumption : a quantile regression approach

Frondel, Manuel; Sommer, Stephan; Vance, Colin - 2017

Drawing on the most recent wave of the German Residential Energy Survey (GRECS), this paper estimates the contribution of individual appliances to household electricity consumption. Moving beyond the standard focus of estimating mean effects, we combine the conditional demand approach with...

Switching on electricity demand response : evidence for German households

Frondel, Manuel; Kussel, Gerhard - 2018

Empirical evidence on households' awareness of electricity prices and potentially divergent demand responses to price changes conditional on price knowledge is scant. Using panel data originating from Germany’s Residential Energy Consumption Survey (GRECS), we fill this void by employing an...

Heterogeneity in the price response of residential electricity demand : a dynamic approach for Germany

Frondel, Manuel; Kussel, Gerhard; Sommer, Stephan - 2018

To provide the basis for evaluating the effectiveness of price policies, this paper contributes to the literature by estimating the heterogeneity in the response of residential electricity demand to price increases across household types. Drawing on household panel data from the German...

Economic integration and growth at the margin : a space-time incremental impact analysis

Mitze, Timo; Breidenbach, Philipp - 2018

We use the case of EU enlargement in 2004 to investigate the impact of economic integration on regional income growth. Being particularly interested in studying the effects ‘at the margin’, we track the relative performance of regions adjacent to both sides of the integration border...

On marginal and interaction effects : the case of Heckit and Two-Part Models

Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2009

Interaction effects capture the impact of one explanatory variable x1 on the marginal effect of another explanatory variable x2. To explore interaction effects, so-called interaction terms x1x2 are typically included in estimation specifications. While in linear models the effect of a marginal...

Being focused : when the purpose of inference matters for model selection

Behl, Peter; Dette, Holger; Frondel, Manuel; Tauchmann, … - 2011

In contrast to conventional model selection criteria, the Focused Information Criterion (FIC) allows for purpose-specific choice of models. This accommodates the idea that one kind of model might be highly appropriate for inferences on a particular parameter, but not for another. Ever since its...
