Revisiting the link between growth and federalism : a Bayesian model averaging approach

Asatryan, Zareh; Feld, Lars P. - 2013

Following the ambiguous results in the literature aimed at understanding the empirical link between fiscal federalism and economic growth, this paper revisits the question using a Bayesian Model Averaging approach. The analysis suggests that the failure to appropriately account for model...

Incentive regulation : evidence from German electricity networks

Hellwig, Michael; Schober, Dominik; Cabral, Luís M. B. - 2018

We propose a difference-in-differences (DiD) approach to estimate the impact of incentives on cost reduction. We show theoretically, and estimate empirically, that German electricity distribution system operators (DSOs) incur higher costs when subject to a lower-powered regulation mechanism. The...

Incentive regulation : evidence from German electricity networks

Hellwig, Michael; Schober, Dominik; Cabral, Luís M. B. - 2019 - This version: January 29, 2019

We propose a difference-in-differences (DiD) approach to estimate the impact of incentives on cost reduction. We show theoretically, and estimate empirically, that German electricity distribution system operators (DSOs) pile up more costs in the year used to determine future prices when subject...

Refinancing under yardstick regulation with investment cycles : the case of long-lived electricity network assets

Schober, Dominik; Weber, Christoph - 2015

In the context of yardstick regulation with long-lived assets, the influence of heterogeneous investment cycles on the ability to recover capital is found to be important. The application of efficient firm standards based on historic (straight-line) depreciation given heterogeneous investment...

The European electronic communications code : a critical appraisal with a focus on incentivizing investment in next generation broadband networks

Briglauer, Wolfgang; Cambini, Carlo; Fetzer, Thomas; … - 2017

In September 2016, the European Commission (EC) published its proposal for a directive establishing the European Electronic Communications Code (EECC) - with one key aim being the provision of sufficient incentives for infrastructure investments into high-speed communication networks. Based on a...

Speeding up the internet : regulation and investment in European fiber optic infrastructure

Briglauer, Wolfgang; Cambini, Carlo; Grajek, Michał - 2017

In this paper we study how the coexistence of access regulations for legacy (copper)and fiber networks shapes the incentives to invest in network infrastructure. To this end, we develop a theoretical model explaining investment incentives by incumbent telecom operators and heterogeneous entrants...

Go for gigabit? : first evidence on economic benefits of (ultra-)fast broadband technologies in Europe

Briglauer, Wolfgang; Gugler, Klaus - 2018

The literature on the effects of telecommunications infrastructure investments find positive macroeconomic effects, however, it is severely constrained because it could hitherto only analyze investment up to "basic" broadband but not up to the newer generations of "fast" and "ultra-fast"...

Facility- and service-based competition and investment in fixed broadband networks : lessons from a decade of access regulations in the European Union member states

Briglauer, Wolfgang; Gugler, Klaus; Haxhimusa, Adhurim - 2015

2003 to 2012. We examine the impact of service- and facility-based competition on firm-level investment as well as the … estimation techniques which allows us to account for various sources of endogeneity. We find that facility-based competition … decisions are strategic complements. Moreover, we find that intermodal competition in terms of fixed-mobile substitution exerts …
