Fusionen von Gemeinden und Landkreisen im Rahmen von Gebiets- und Strukturreformen werden regelmäßig mit der Möglichkeit von Ausgabensenkungen, Effizienzsteigerungen oder einer Professionalisierung der Verwaltung begründet. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Überblick über die aktuellen...

Die Wohnsitzauflage soll die nachhaltige Integration anerkannter Flüchtlinge fördern. Aus ökonomischer Sicht scheint sie hierfür jedoch wenig geeignet. Frühere Erfahrungen zeigen, dass eine Festschreibung des Wohnortes die Wahrscheinlichkeit, eine Arbeitsstelle zu finden, reduziert. Der so...

In a dynamic general equilibrium model we study the interplay between gradual and structural change in the transition to a low-carbon energy industry. We focus on the welfare-theoretic consequences of diverging social and private rates of time preference and a time-to-build feature in capital...

This paper presents a Schumpeterian quality-ladder model incorporating the impact of new General Purpose Technologies (GPTs). GPTs are breakthrough technologies with a wide range of applications, opening up new innovational complementarities. In contrast to most existing models which focus on...

We examine banking competition when deposit or loan contracts contingent on macroeconomic shocks become feasible. We show that the risk allocation is efficient, provided that banks are not bailed out. In this case, banks may shift part of the risk to depositors. The private sector insures the...

We present a Schumpterian model of endogenous growth with General Purpose Technologies (GPTs) that captures two important historical stylized facts: First, from the beginning of mankind until today GPTs are arriving at an increasing frequency and, second, all GPTs heavily depended on previous...

The paper investigates the long-run consequences of a phase-out of nuclear energy for the Swiss economy. We apply the CITE model, a CGE model with fully endogenous growth, and complement it with a bottom-up model. We find that the nuclear phase-out can be achieved at relatively low costs, even...

Climate physics predicts that the intensity of natural disasters will increase in the future due to climate change. One of the biggest challenges for economic modeling is the inherent uncertainty of climate events, which crucially affects consumption, investment, and abatement decisions. We...

The use of climate information in economic activities, typically provided by climate services, may serve as a possible adaptation strategy to changing climate conditions. The present paper analyzes the value of climate services aimed at improving agricultural productivity through a reduction in...
