Gasteiger, Emanuel; Prettner, Klaus - 2017
We analyze the long-run growth effects of automation in the standard overlap- ping generations framework. We show that, in contrast to other neoclassical models of capital accumulation, automation does not promote growth but induces economic stagnation. The reason is that automation suppresses...

Wealth, consumption, and energy-efficiency investments
Britto, Anthony; Dehler-Holland, Joris; Fichtner, Wolf - 2022
We revisit optimal investment in energy-efficiency, presenting a decision framework built around the agent's wealth and wealth dynamic. An investment rule in the form of a trigger is derived such that the agent invests the first time the energy-carrier price crosses this threshold from below....

Britto, Anthony; Kraft, Emil; Dehler-Holland, Joris - 2022
We examine the relationship between the choice of steelmaking technology and energy prices in Germany using data beginning 1970. The analysis indicates that technology choice began to cointegrate with comparative energy prices in the early 90s. The short and long-run effects of energy prices are...

Skill mismatch and the costs of job displacement
Neffke, Frank; Nedelkoska, Ljubica; Wiederhold, Simon - Leibniz-Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung Halle - 2023
When workers are displaced from their jobs in mass layoffs or firm closures, they experience lasting adverse labor market consequences. We study how these consequences vary with the amount of skill mismatch that workers experience when returning to the labor market. Using novel measures of skill...
