Sectoral Differences in Wage Freezes and Wage Cuts : Evidence from a New Firm Survey
Bonin, Holger; Radowski, Daniel - 2008
The paper provides evidence concerning incidence and sources of nominal wage rigidity in services and manufacturing, using a new and large employer survey on wage and price setting behaviour for Germany. We observe that wage freezes are more frequent in services than in manufacturing, whereas...

Energy Use Patterns in German Manufacturing Since 2003
von Graevenitz, Kathrine - 2020
The manufacturing sector accounts for a substantial share of German GDP, employment and carbon emissions. Therefore, the manufacturing sector's energy use and carbon emissions are of crucial importance for reaching Germany's climate goals. In this paper, we analyse energy use patterns in German...

Drivers of Energy Efficiency in German Manufacturing : A Firm-Level Stochastic Frontier Analysis
Lutz, Benjamin Johannes - 2017
Increasing energy efficiency is one of the main goals in current German energy and climate policies. We study the determinants of energy efficiency in the German manufacturing sector based on official firm-level production census data. By means of a stochastic frontier analysis, we estimate the...

Exports and Productivity Growth - First Evidence from a Continuous Treatment Approach
Fryges, Helmut; Wagner, Joachim - 2008
A recent survey of 54 micro-econometric studies reveals that exporting firms are more productive than non-exporters. On the other hand, previous empirical studies show that exporting does not necessarily improve productivity. One possible reason for this result is that most previous studies are...

What Drives Carbon Emissions in German Manufacturing : Scale, Technique or Composition?
Rottner, Elisa; von Graevenitz, Kathrine - 2021
Carbon emissions from German manufacturing have increased over the past decade, while carbon intensity (emissions per Euro of gross output) has declined only slightly. We decompose changes in emissions between 2005 and 2017 into scale, composition (changes in the mix of goods produced) and...

To a limited degree R&D cooperations can help to overcome … the difficulties in using spillovers for drastic innovations. Furthermore, our estimates provide evidence that a firm …
