With the advent of big data in economics machine learning algorithms become more and more appealing to economists. Despite some attempts of establishing artificial neural networks in in the early 1990s, only little is known about their ability of estimating causal effects in policy evaluation....

This paper studies the effect of carbon leakage on the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) using satellite nighttime light data. I show that nighttime lighting is an important variable for estimating carbon dioxide emissions that is superior to other existing indicators and covers all countries in...

We study whether the spatial distribution of natural resources across different ethnic groups within countries impede spatial inequality, national economic performance, and the incidence of armed conflict. By providing a theoretical rent-seeking model and analysing a set of geocoded data for...

Der Autoverkehr ist in vielen Städten zu einer hohen Belastung geworden: Lärm, überfüllte Innenstädte, Staus, Feinstaub- und Stickoxidemissionen sorgen für massive negative externe Effekte und haben eine heftige und kontroverse Diskussion um die Zukunft der Mobilität angeregt. Fahrverbote...

Wachstum und sektoraler Wandel allein haben in näherer Zukunft wahrscheinlich keinen dämpfenden Effekt auf die globalen Treibhausgasemissionen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung zeigt, dass Carbon Leakage ein Phänomen ist, welches auch im Kontext der Umwelt-Kuznets-Kurve relevant ist. Werden...

Existing studies on Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) only focus on costs and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) reduction that arise at the power plant and geological storage. These studies do not consider additional expenses and emissions at the input and output pathways. Consequently, we use a simulation...

Christian Leßmann und Arne Steinkraus, Technische Universität Braunschweig, zeigen, dass die Technologie des CCS durch das gezielte Abscheiden von Kohlendioxid aus Kraftwerksabgasen und die anschließende unterirdische Speicherung desselben, trotz hoher Kosten, dazu beitragen kann, die...
