Quasi-experimental methods in empirical regional science and policy analysis : is there a scope for application?
Mitze, Timo; Paloyo, Alfredo R.; Alecke, Björn - 2012
revolution has yet to fully propagate to the field of regional science. We examine the scope for application of the matching … the matching approach is very appealing due to its methodological rigor and didactical clarity, we faced difficulties in … structural characteristics. Thus, results have to be interpreted with some caution. The matching approach nevertheless can be of …

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...

Future pain at the diesel pump? : potential effects of the European Commission's energy taxation proposal
Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2011
The Energy Tax Directive recently proposed by the European Commission envisages to tax fuels based on their energy content. By raising prices for diesel to a level higher than that of petrol, this proposal would eliminate the price advantage currently enjoyed by diesel in most EU Member States....

Re-identifying the rebound : what about asymmetry?
Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2011
Rebound effects measure the behaviorally induced offset in the reduction of energy consumption following efficiency improvements. Using panel estimation methods and household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2009, this study identifies the rebound effect in private...

High-impact minimum wages and heterogeneous regions
Vom Berge, Philipp; Frings, Hanna; Paloyo, Alfredo R. - 2013
We estimate the effects on wage and employment growth rates of the introduction and subsequent increases of a substantial minimum wage in the main construction industry of Germany. Using a regional dataset constructed from individual employment histories, we exploit the spatial dimension and...

Compulsory military service in Gemany revisited
Paloyo, Alfredo R. - 2010
This paper estimates the causal impact of compulsory military service on men in Germany using social security and pension administrative data for the cohort of individuals born in the period 1932–1942. Due to the combination of laws restricting conscription only to men born on or after July 1,...

Heterogeneity in the rebound effect further evidence for Germany
Frondel, Manuel; Ritter, Nolan; Vance, Colin - 2010
Rebound effects measure the behaviorally induced off set in the reduction of energy consumption following efficiency improvements. Using both panel estimation and quantile-regression methods on household travel diary data collected in Germany between 1997 and 2009, this study investigates the...
