Evaluating the Labor-Market Effects of Compulsory Military Service - A Regression-Discontinuity Approach
Bauer, Thomas K.; Bender, Stefan; Paloyo, Alfredo R.; … - 2009
We identify the causal effect of compulsory military service on conscripts' subsequent labor-market outcomes by exploiting the regression-discontinuity design of the military draft in Germany during the 1950s. Unbiased estimates of military service on lifetime earnings, wages, and employment are...

Equity and the willingness to pay for green electricity in Germany
Andor, Mark Andreas; Frondel, Manuel; Sommer, Stephan - 2018
The production of electricity on the basis of renewable energy technologies is a classic example of an impure public good. It is often discriminatively financed by industrial and household consumers, such as in Germany, where the energy-intensive sector benefits from a far-reaching exemption...

Self-enforcing Norms and the Efficient Non-cooperative Organization of Clans
Konrad, Kai A.; Leininger, Wolfgang - 2007
We study how norms can solve distributional conflict inside a clan and the efficient coordination of collective action in a conflict with an external enemy.We characterize a fully non-cooperative equilibrium in a finite game in which a self-enforcing norm coordinates the members on efficient...

Consequentiality, elicitation formats, and the willingness-to-pay for green electricity: Evidence from Germany
Andor, Mark Andreas; Frondel, Manuel; Horvath, Marco - 2020
Based on hypothetical responses originating from a large-scale survey among about 6,000 German households, this study investigates the discrepancy in willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates for green electricity across single-binary-choice and open-ended valuation formats. Recognizing that...

Coalition formation with optimal transfers when players are heterogeneous and inequality averse
Rogna, Marco; Vogt, Carla - 2020
Obtaining significant levels of cooperation in public good and environmental games, under the assumption of players being purely selfish, is usually prevented by the problem of freeriding. Coalitions, in fact, generally fail to be internally stable and this cause a serious underprovision of the...
