For spatial data with a sufficiently long time dimension, the concept of global cointegration has been recently included in the econometrics research agenda. Global cointegration arises when non-stationary time series are cointegrated both within and between spatial units. In this paper, we...

While the gig economy has been growing rapidly, evidence on its implications for the labor force remains sparse. This paper shows that gig work can buffer income losses arising from unemployment shocks. Matching a large sample of administrative employment data with information on platform entry,...

This paper examines the factors determining variations in spatial rates of overeducation. A quantile regression model has been implemented on a sample of region-yearly data drawn from the EU Survey on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and several institutional and macroeconomic features...

We address the impact of education upon wage inequality by drawing on evidence from fifteen European countries, during a period ranging between 1980 and 1995. We focus on within-educational-levels wage inequality by estimating quantile regressions of Mincer equations and analysing the...

This paper assesses the potential of "workplace training" with reference to German Apprenticeship. When occupational matching is important, we derive conditions under which firms provide "optimal" training packages. Since the German system broadly meets these conditions, we evaluate the...

This paper assesses the role of distance in professional team sports, taking the example of football (soccer). We argue that a team’s performance in terms of scored and conceded goals decreases with the distance to the foreign playing venue. To test this hypothesis empirically, we investigate...

Deutschland wird von Teilen der Wissenschaft, der Politik und in der Öffentlichkeit Investitionsschwäche attestiert. Doch tatsächlich trifft dies nicht auf alle Bereiche der Investitionsentwicklung in Deutschland zu. Die Autoren arbeiten unterschiedliche Trends auf verschiedenen staatlichen...
