The European Union's goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 requires a major reduction in natural gas use for residential heating. However, gas grid equipment, amortized over 45 years in most countries, risks becoming stranded assets. The literature suggests that regulatory shocks could justify...

We study the causal effect of country-specific democratic regime change on bilateral trade flows, extending structural gravity empirics to 'heterogeneous gravity' estimated at the country-pair level. Our difference-in-differences implementation accounts for selection into regime change,...

In 1975, a federal court ordered the desegregation of public schools in Jefferson County, KY. In order to approximately equalize the share of minorities across schools, students were assigned to a busing schedule that depended on the first letter of their last name. We use the resulting...

In response to the challenges posed by an increasingly decentralized energy system characterized by a high penetration of renewable energy sources, grid operators are experiencing heightened pressure to effectively manage grid congestion. Concurrently, both the European Union as well as the...

A doktori disszertáció fókuszát a jelenléti tudományos szövetségi konferenciák résztvevői szempontú vizsgálata jelentette, különös tekintettel a turisztikai desztináció szerepére a konferenciaválasztási döntésben. A kutatás aktualitását a Covid-19-pandémia utáni...

Research on the family spillover effects of health shocks, which has focused mainly on labor market outcomes, has yielded inconclusive results, with limited insight into long-term consequences or underlying mechanisms. We analyze the short- and long-term impacts of cancer on the unaffected...

The financial sustainability of the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan (SOFAZ) is entering a critical phase, shaped by both domestic and international economic shifts. With Donald Trump’s return to power in the United States, significant changes in domestic and foreign policy are reshaping global...

In the African Sahel region, arable land is being increasingly threatened by the implications of climate change. Agroforestry offers opportunities to adapt to these challenges by enhancing ecological resilience and food production through intensification and/or diversification by integrating...

Most analyses of the economic relationship between two countries focus on bilateral trade relations and resource flows. The approach here is different, in that it aims to identify the relative weight of selected partners and their capacity to influence the productive structure in Brazil. Two...

We use the geometric representation of factor models to represent the factor loading structure by sets corresponding to unit-specific non-zero loadings. We formulate global and local, rotational identification conditions based on set conditions. We propose two algorithms to efficiently evaluate...
