Ausgelöst durch die drei säkularen Ereignisse werden die regionalen Karten in Europa neu gemischt. Der Wettbewerb unter den Standorten nimmt zu. Die Städte dürfen sich nicht mit der Ansiedlung neuer Unternehmen zufrieden geben, sondern müssen für die Betriebe auch in der Folge ein...

Das ifo Institut hat im letzten Jahr zusammen mit dem Deutschen Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung in Berlin im Auftrag des damaligen Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Arbeit, BMWA (heutiges Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Technologie, BMWT) eine Studie zu den möglichen Auswirkungen...

We empirically investigate whether the transmission of the recent crisis in euro area sovereign debt markets was due to fundamentals-based or pure contagion. To do so, we examine the behaviour of EMU sovereign bond yield spreads with respect to the German bund for a sample of both central and...

New evidence is presented on the possible existence of bi-directional causal relationships between public debt and economic growth in both central and peripheral countries of the European Economic and Monetary Union. We test for heterogeneity in the bi-directional Granger-causality across both...

This paper contributes to the literature by applying the Granger-causality approach and endogenous breakpoint test to offer an operational definition of contagion to examine European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) countries public debt behaviour. A database of yields on 10-year government...

We analyse volatility spillovers in EMU sovereign bond markets. First, we examine the unconditional patterns during the full sample (April 1999-January 2014) using a measure recently proposed by Diebold and Yılmaz (2012). Second, we make use of a dynamic analysis to evaluate net directional...
