Benchmarking the future: a dynamic, multi-regional, multi-sectoral trade model for the analysis of climate policies

Klepper, Gernot; Springer, Katrin - 2000

For analyzing the impact of climate change and of international climate policies on the international division of labor and on regional welfare the use of a disaggregated multi–sectoral, multi–regional dynamic computable general equilibrium model is appropriate. This paper discusses the...

The social costs of health-related early retirement in Germany: Evidence from the German Socio-economic panel

Hostenkamp, Gisela; Stolpe, Michael - 2008

This study investigates the role of stratification of health and income in the social cost of healthrelated early retirement, as evidenced in the German Socio-economic Panel (GSOEP). We interpret early retirement as a mechanism to limit work-related declines in health that allows poorer and less...

Evaluating search and matching models using experimental data

Lise, Jeremy; Seitz, Shannon; Smith, Jeffrey A. - 2005

This paper introduces an innovative test of search and matching models using the exogenous variation available in experimental data. We take an off-the-shelf Pissarides matching model and calibrate it to data on the control group from a randomized social experiment. We then simulate a program...

Escaping the unemployment trap: The case of East Germany

Merkl, Christian; Snower, Dennis J. - 2008

This paper addresses the question of why prolonged regional unemployment differentials tend to persist even after their proximate causes have been reversed (e.g., after wages in the highunemployment regions have fallen relative to those in the low-unemployment regions). We suggest that the...

Think again: Higher elasticity of substitution increases economic resilience

Dumas, P.; Hallegatte, S. - 2009

This paper shows that, counter-intuitively, a higher elasticity of substitution in model production function can lead to reduced economic resilience and larger vulnerability to shocks in production factor prices. This result is due to the fact that assuming a higher elasticity of substitution...

A comparison of calibration methods and proficiency estimators for creating IRT vertical scales

Kim, Jungnam - 2007

The main purpose of this study was to construct different vertical scales based on various combinations of calibration … scales that result: grade-to-grade growth, grade-to-grade variability, and the separation of grade distributions. Calibration … methods investigated were concurrent calibration, separate calibration, and fixed a, b, and c item parameters for common items …

Nonparametric estimation of Levy processes with a view towards mathematical finance

Figueroa-Lopez, Jose Enrique - 2004

Model selection methods and nonparametric estimation of Levy densities are presented. The estimation relies on the properties of Levy processes for small time spans, on the nature of the jumps of the process, and on methods of estimation for spatial Poisson processes. Given a linear space S of...

Ethnic Inequality and Economic Growth: Evidence from Harmonized Satellite Data

Gründler, Klaus; Link, Andreas - 2024

Inequality between ethnic groups has been shown to be negatively related to GDP, but research on its eﬀect on contemporary economic growth is limited by the availability of comparable data. We compile a novel and comprehensive dataset of harmonized Gini indices on ethnic inequality for...
