Electricity use as a real time indicator of the economic burden of the COVID-19-related lockdown: Evidence from Switzerland
Janzen, Benedikt; Radulescu, Doina - 2020
We employ hourly electricity load data for Switzerland as a real time indicator of the economic effects of the lockdown following the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Our findings reveal that following the drastic lockdown, overall electricity use decreased by 4 per cent, with a reduction of even 11.3 per...

Estimating a time-varying distribution-led regime
Carrillo-Maldonado, Paul; Nikiforos, Michalis - 2022
This paper estimates the distribution-led regime of the US economy for the period 1947-2019. We use a time varying parameter model, which allows for changes in the regime over time. To the best of our knowledge this is the first paper that has attempted to do this. This innovation is important,...

Identification and estimation of distributional impacts of interventions using changes in inequality measures
Firpo, Sérgio Pinheiro - 2010
This paper presents semiparametric estimators of distributional impacts of interventions (treatment) when selection to the program is based on observable characteristics. Distributional impacts of a treatment are calculated as differences in inequality measures of the potential outcomes of...
