Public investment in hospitals in Germany has been insufficient for decades, making it difficultto finance digitization. Due to dual financing, hospitals could alternatively use their own profitsto pay for digitization efforts. This raises the question of whether there is a relationship...

Hospital digitalization is to reduce costs, increase efficiency and productivity, and to improve quality of care. However, the literature lacks clarity on the meaning of "hospital digitalization," how to measure it, and what quality it might affect. We use data from the DigitalRadar project from...

Drawing on a data set containing 371,082 observations on new and used cars from 2008, this study employs a hedonic model to estimate the determinants of prices in the primary and secondary car markets in Germany. We are specifically interested in identifying those vehicle attributes that are...
