Die gegenwärtigen Kontroversen zu den Auswirkungen eines Energieembargos gegen Russland, ausgelöst durch Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine, haben den Fokus auf die Verringerung der Abhängigkeit von fossilen Energieträgern und eine Neuordnung der Energieversorgung gelegt....

Recent innovations in digital financial technologies (FinTech) have called into question the role of FinTech in financial development. This study examines FinTech's direct and conditional effects on financial development using data from emerging and developing economies. Three measures of...

This paper provides an assessment of the potential economic impacts of the Vietnam-Korea free trade agreement on Vietnam, by using general equilibrium modeling. The results show that Vietnam-Korea FTA will increase aggregate welfare for both countries in the long run. The most important gains...

This paper presents a general model of a competitive market with consumption externalities, and establishes the existence of equilibrium in the model, under assumptions comparable to those in classical models. The model allows production and indivisible goods. Examples illustrate the generality...

Die Interpretation des Zinssatzes als Preis ist problematisch. Im Gegensatz zum Preis ist der Zinssatz kein Austauschverhältnis. Modelle, in denen der Zinssatz mit einem Preis für die Nutzung von Kapital identifiziert werden kann, sind sehr speziell. In allgemeineren Modellen sind Zinssatz und...

Two perspectives on the analysis of economic growth have developed within the input-output framework. On the one hand, Leontief proposed a dynamic model, where investment supplies the necessary capital stock needed to produce future output. On the other hand, Structural Decomposition Analysis...

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction of the insolvency rate to the various shocks in the economies of Romania and Spain through a Structural Vector Autoregressive model. Departing from quarterly data for 2008-2016, it was found that the future values of the insolvency rate...

This paper offers a resolution to an extensively studied question in theoretical economics: which measure spaces are suitable for modeling many economic agents? We propose the condition of “nowhere equivalence” to characterize those measure spaces that can be effectively used to model the...

We provide a geometric test of whether a general equilibrium incomplete markets (GEI) economy has Hart points---points at which the rank of the securities payoff matrix drops. Condition (H) says that, at each nonterminal node, there is an affine set (of appropriate dimension) that intersects all...
