R&D and Firm Performance in a Transition Economy
Czarnitzki, Dirk; Kraft, Kornelius - 2006
We estimate the effects of R&D on firms' credit ratings and on financial distress. The main purpose is the comparison of firms in Western Germany and Eastern Germany as a transitional economy. Innovative activity has a positive impact on firm value proxied by ratings in Western Germany, but a...

United, yet apart? : a note on persistent labour market differences between Western and Eastern Germany
Schnabel, Claus - 2015
Comparing aggregate statistics and surveying selected empirical studies, this paper shows that the characteristics and results of labour markets in eastern and western Germany have become quite similar in some respects but still differ markedly in others even 25 years after unification. Whereas...

Intra-sectoral structural change and aggregate productivity development: a robust stochastic nonparametric frontier function approach
Krüger, Jens J. - 2008
This paper investigates the sources of total factor productivity growth in the German manufacturing sector, 1981-1998. Decomposition formulae for aggregate productivity growth are used to identify the effects of structural change and entry-exit on aggregate productivity growth. Documented is a...

Climate Protection Potentials of Digitalized Production Processes : Microeconometric Evidence?
Axenbeck, Janna; Niebel, Thomas - 2022
Although information and communication technologies (ICT) consume energy themselves, they are considered to have the potential to reduce overall energy intensity within economic sectors. While previous empirical evidence is based on aggregated data, this is the first large-scale empirical study...

TFP convergence in German states since reunification : evidence and explanations
Burda, Michael C.; Severgnini, Battista - 2015
A quarter-century after reunification, labor productivity in eastern Germany continues to lag systematically behind the West. Denison-Hall-Jones point-in-time estimates point to large gaps in total factor productivity as the proximate cause, and auxiliary measurements which do not rely on...
