Women's fertility and employment decisions under two political systems : comparing East and West Germany before reunification

Bredtmann, Julia; Kluve, Jochen; Schaffner, Sandra - 2009

Over the last decades fertility rates have decreased in most developed countries, while female labour force participation has increased strongly over the same time period. To shed light on the relationship between women's fertility and employment decisions, we analyse their transitions to the...

Photovoltaics and the solar rebound : evidence for Germany

Frondel, Manuel; Kaestner, Kathrin; Sommer, Stephan; … - 2022

Recent research suggests that households increase their electricity consumption in the aftermath of installing photovoltaic (PV) panels, a behavioral change commonly referred to as the solar rebound. Drawing on panel data originating from the German Residential Energy Consumption Survey (GRECS),...

Asymmetry - resurrecting the roots

Frondel, Manuel; Schmidt, Christoph M.; Vance, Colin - 2013

This note attempts to reconcile a range of primary methods for dealing with price asymmetry, such as the approaches proposed by Tweeten and Quance (1969), Wolffram (1971) and Houk(1977). Using Wolffram’s stylized example, we first illustrate that the notion of asymmetry can be captured in a...

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...

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...

On interaction effects : the case of heckit and two-part models

Frondel, Manuel; Vance, Colin - 2012

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