      abstract = {Previous research has found that subjective well-being (SWB) is lower for individuals classified as being in poverty. We extend the poverty-SWB literature by focusing on aggregate poverty. Using panel data for 39,239 individuals living in Germany from 2005–2013, we show that peoples SWB is nega- tively correlated with the regional (state-level) poverty ratio while controlling for individual poverty status and poverty intensity. This suggests that poverty is a public bad. The negative relationship between aggregate poverty and SWB is more salient in the upper segments of the income distribution and is robust to controlling for the rate of unemployment and per capita GDP. The character of pov- erty as a public bad suggests that poverty alleviation is a matter not only of distributive justice, but of allocative efficiency.},

Economics often pictures this phenomenon as a case of signalling: individuals engage in the volunteer programming of open-source software (OSS) as a labour-market signal resulting in a wage premium. Yet, this explanation could so far not be empirically tested. This article fills this gap by estimating an upper-bound composite wage premium of voluntary OSS contributions and by separating the potential signalling effect of OSS engagement from other effects. Although some 70% of OSS contributors believe that OSS involvement benefits their careers, we find no actual labour-market premium for OSS engagement. The presence of other motives, such as fun of play or altruism, renders OSS contributions too noisy to function as a signal.},

However, numerous molecular genetic studies have shown that novelty-seeking bearing individuals are prone to certain psychological “disadvantages” such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), leading to occupational and educational difficulties in modern societies. Using a recent compilation of DRD4 exon III allele frequencies – a particular gene variant that population geneticists have found to be sometimes associated with the human phenotype of novelty-seeking behavior – this paper advances a new country-level measure on the prevalence of novelty-seeking traits for a large number of countries worldwide. The results suggest a stable non-monotonic inverted U-shaped relationship between the country-level DRD4 exon III allele frequency measure and economic development. This finding is suggestive of the potential “benefits” and “costs” of novelty-seeking traits for the aggregate economy.},

While it finds strong and statistically significant relationships between health and indicators of the intensity and duration of consumption, these relationships vanish when OF consumption is instrumented by respondents’ assessment of the necessity of renewable energy. Since the instrument satisfies usual validity standards, these findings suggest that the OF-health relationship may be spurious due to common unobserved factors, in particular a health-oriented lifestyle.},

We find that energy prices have statistically and economically significant effects on subjective well-being. The effect sizes are smaller than but comparable to the effects of important personal factors of well-being. Effects above average are found in individuals from the lowest income quartile. In addition, effects are strongest at times when required energy expenditures can be expected to be high. The empirical results are consistent with the prediction that greater fuel poverty implies a greater effect of energy prices on well-being.

A capital good’s service can thus be measured directly by the energy consumed in production. We show important empirical advantages of this approximation over traditional measures. The empirical application reveals that this approach avoids a number of conceptual problems of the latter. Furthermore, this measure captures the utilization of the capital stock more accurately as it is more sensitive to fluctuations in economic activity. With a growth accounting exercise, it is shown that the differences between the new and the traditional measures are important for empirical work. Using the new measure yields significantly different results. Especially in times of global recession it provides higher and more feasible total factor productivity growth rates.},

Our dataset comprises annual production/harvested area data for sugar, ethanol and five other staple commodities ranging from 1981 to 2009 for 24 Brazilian states. Our results indicate that rising ethanol production exerts statistically significant positive impacts on sugarcane; negative impacts on rice, beans and soybeans acreage but no statistically significant effect on the areas for corn and manioc. The negative impacts on commodities' acreage have implications for the associated prices. Ceteris paribus, rising ethanol production puts some upward pressure on the prices for rice, beans and soybeans. However, the economic implication of these direct land use effects is attenuated due to the moderate scale of any effect.},

      abstract = {Despite the transnational character of the Great Depression of the years 1929-33, there are few works in the inter-war literature that deal in depth with the propagation of business cycles across national borders and systemic risks of depression in the world economy. Two notable exceptions are Hans Neisser’s monograph on Some International Aspects of the Business Cycle (1936) and chapter 12 in Gottfried Haberler’s Prosperity and Depression (1937), which carries the heading “International Aspects of Business Cycles”. Both works differ substantially from each other and from the modern way of thinking about international business cycles in Open Economy Macroeconomics. This paper argues that Neisser’s and Haberler’s approaches provide more straightforward routes to capturing some of the transnational aspects of the recent Great Recession (of 2008/09) than the modern standard approach. At the first stage, the two older approaches are presented and compared with each other. At the second stage, they are contrasted with the current state of open-economy macroeconomics, as represented by Uribe & Schmitt-Grohé (2014), a textbook in the making that puts international macro in a business cycle framework. Since Haberler’s account accentuates the role of transport costs, imperfections of capital markets and monetary policies, it can be used as a catalogue of criteria for checking what modern attempts to connect international trade, international finance and economic growth have got (back) in sight. More importantly, both Haberler’s and Neisser’s approach also serve to identify what has been lost out of sight.},

      abstract = {Germany’s net exports and macroeconomic policy stance are controversial issues in current debates about the Eurozone debt crisis. This paper shows that both are characteristics of what has been described in a variety of political economy literatures as the German socio-economic model. We argue that the model has evolved in three stages, from the economic miracle of the post-war era through the era of “Germany Inc.” and Bundesbank hegemony to the present transnationalization of German industries and finance. The three stages of the German model – or Models D, mark I-III – correspond closely to the exchange rate regimes of Bretton Woods, the European Monetary System and European Monetary Union (EMU). We describe them in three analogous settings that specify their different working conditions under the respective exchange-rate regime, following a chronology of success, dynamic instability and transformation. We point out that, while the German economy has under-gone substantial changes, there are two different mindsets of model thinking in Germany that have been remarkably persistent in public debate. We refer to these two mindsets as ordoliberalism and neo-mercantilism. Ordoliberalism is the normative mindset of policy speakers and academic economists, whereas neo-mercantilism is the practical mindset of policymakers and business leaders. We discuss the differences and complementary uses of these modes of German model thinking and draw attention to their flaws and inadequacies at the present stage of European integration and transnationalization of the German economy.},

      abstract = {Opinions about the Swedish economist Gustav Cassel (1866–1945) have varied over time. Before the First World War, he made himself known as a progressive liberal who advocated social reform and trade unions as means to increase labour productivity and economic growth. In the 1920s, he was considered to be “the most influential leader of our science” (Schumpeter 1954: 1154). He advised the League of Nations and national governments on monetary policy issues, and attracted worldwide attention as a lecturer and writer of textbooks, pamphlets and articles. In the wake of the Great Depression, Cassel fell out of favour with public opinion, due to his opposition to the “new economics” of the Stockholm School, Keynes and other advocates of fiscal activism. His image shifted from that of a skilful popularizer of complex theory and “pragmatic truths” to that of a conceited vulgarizer, if not plagiarizer of Walras. In the 1980s, Cassel was reappraised as a “pioneer” of growth theory, monetary targeting, the notion of revealed preferences, and other concepts. Since then, many of these claims have been disputed or downsized. Life Karl Gustav Cassel was born into a merchant family in Stockholm in 1866. After taking a doctoral degree in mathematics in 1895, Cassel turned to studies in economics. In 1898 and 1899 he went to Germany to attend lectures of Gustav Schmoller, Adolph Wagner and other representatives of the historical school and Kathedersozialisten (socialists of the chair). On visits to England in 1901 and 1902 he made the acquaintance...},

The issue is important because many countries have started reconsidering their energy policies, and the externalities from electricity generation play a major role in the benefit–cost analysis of relevant options. This paper reviews the literature on electricity-related externalities. It starts by discussing their nature and the methods employed in valuing them. It finds that appraisals of electricity externalities are complicated because of heterogeneity of both the externalities themselves and the methods applied in measuring them. The paper reviews valuation studies of the externalities from fossil fuel, nuclear and renewable sources, and it discusses the relevance of their findings for the siting of plants and the electricity mix. It concludes by pointing out gaps in our knowledge about electricity externalities that deserve to be addressed in future research.},

Applying the index to the period 1990-2009, we find that macroeconomic performance has improved in OECD overall and in the majority of countries, and that there has been a convergence of performance within the OECD. We then present evidence that OECD countries’ performance, as measured, is positively related to institutional change towards more trade openness and better institutional quality. We argue that both increased openness and improved institutional quality are correlates of economic and political integration and conclude that international integration has enhanced SWB by improving OECD countries’ national macroeconomic performance.},

The relative contributions of the three macroe- conomic variables to individuals’ life satisfaction are used to assess how each country performed on balance during the crisis. This approach follows a recent trend of using subjective well-being data for monitoring economic performance and for policy appraisal. We find that in the countries most strongly affected by the crisis, the effects on an average citizen’s well-being may be of a similar magnitude as the effects of the most serious personal life events. The main driver of these effects is the drop in GDP, whose impact is aggravated by the increase of unemployment. Though the inflation rate went down in several of the countries, the effect was too weak to significantly reduce the negative effect of the changes in GDP and unemployment. The results show that GDP fluctuations are important drivers of subjective well-being.},

This paper uses correlation and regression analysis of survey data from a student sample (N = 144) to explore how reports of happiness and life satisfaction are related to measures of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA). Major findings are the following: (1) PA and NA levels jointly predict happiness better than they predict life satisfaction. (2) PA levels predict happiness better than do NA levels. (3) NA levels predict life satisfaction better than do PA levels. (4) The PA items that predict happiness include those that predict life satisfaction (but not vice versa). (5) The NA items that predict happiness are distinct from those that predict life satisfaction. The study contributes to the literature by characterizing reported happiness and life satisfaction in terms of the specific positive and negative affects involved, thus clarifying their respective affective state content. Finding (4) is consistent with the mediator model of affective and cognitive well-being, according to which people in part directly rely on the affective component to judge life satisfaction. Given the nature and size of our sample, the results are indicative, and the study should inspire future research that strives to validate our findings in different contexts.},

This relationship differs with regard to different types of energy. ICT is negatively related to the demand for non-electric energy, but is not associated with a significant change in the demand for electric energy. Quantitatively, the effect of ICT on energy demand is greater than that on labor demand.

We find that the incentive structure that arises in an incomplete information framework may lead to a more positive assessment of unilateral action than in papers that neglect private information. First, we find that a unilateral commitment to emission reductions that is made before contract negotiations always reduces aggregate emissions, in contrast to the results in the seminal contribution by Hoel. Second, we show that the principal often has an interest to unilaterally reduce emissions below the level to which she would be obliged under the standard contract solution. Hence we provide an economic rationale for overcompliance.

It uses a dynamic structural vector autoregressive model to estimate the related structural impulse response functions. The estimates suggest that wind power shocks have a more prolonged negative effect on spot prices than solar power shocks. Significant autocorrelations of wind power for larger lags indicate these results. The total negative merit order effect of a solar power shock is larger when using a reasonable model specification. One reason might be that solar power shocks coincide with demand peaks. However, results regarding the relation of the effects of wind and solar should be dealt with carefully because these results do not hold for all specifications. Past static estimates show differences in the total average negative merit order effects. These estimates might be overstated if wind and solar power dynamics are transferred to the merit order effects. },

      abstract = {It is frequently argued that credit rating agencies (CRAs) have acted procyclically in their rating of sovereign debt in the European Monetary Union (EMU). They are believed to have under-rated sovereign risk in the early years of EMU, when integrated financial markets provided easier access to liquidity, and to have contributed to the recent Eurozone debt crisis by over-rating the lack of (individual) monetary sovereignty that EMU entails for its member states. Yet, there is little direct evidence for this so far. While CRAs are quite explicit about their risk assessments concerning public debt that is denominated in foreign currency, the same cannot be said about their treatment of sovereign debt issued in the currency of a monetary union. We examine the major CRAs’ methodologies for rating sovereign debt and test their ratings for a monetary union bonus in good times and a malus, akin to the 'original sin' problem of emerging market countries, in bad times. Using a newly compiled dataset of quarterly sovereign bond ratings from 1990 until 2012, we find some evidence that EMU countries received a rating bonus on euro-denominated debt before the global financial crisis and a large penalty after 2007.},

      abstract = {Modern data collections create vast opportunities for detecting useful hidden relationships. Also, increasingly, they fuel data privacy concerns. A trade-off between privacy protection and data usefulness is by now widely acknowledged. Real world data classification tasks, as for example credit scoring applications have to deal with such data security limitations by finding a way to effectively incorporate privacy preserving procedures. To this end we propose as a first stage to use a microaggregation procedure in order to anonymize data over personal credit client feature information. In a second stage we examine the performance of support vector machines (SVM) on such anonymized data. SVM are powerful and robust machine learning methods, having superior credit scoring classification performance when applied to original, non-anonymized data. We first partition the original credit scoring data set and construct anonymized data representatives, which are then used for credit client behavior forecasting models constructed by SVM and other comparable learning methods. The validation procedure for such models is adapted to the two-stage modeling approach. In order to assess the loss owing to data anonymization, the different classification models are evaluated against models that are trained on the original data.},

Subsidizing TT leads to the adoption of better abatement technologies in the South, thereby reducing the international permit price. This is beneficial for the North as long as it is a permit buyer; hence it chooses to subsidize TT. By contrast, the permit selling South suffers from the lower permit price and its welfare usually deteriorates, despite receiving subsidies. We also consider how TT affects countries' non-cooperative choices of permit endowments and nd that it tends to reduce overall emissions. Finally, a simple numerical simulation model illustrates some results and explores some further comparative statics.},

We introduce a climate cooperation model with endogenous R&D investments where countries protect their international competitiveness via border carbon adjustments (BCA). \{BCA\} raises the scope for cooperation and leads to a non-trivial relation between countries? prior R&D investments and participation in the coalition. We find that early investments in R&D render free-riding more attractive. Therefore, with delayed cooperation on emission abatement and ex-ante R&D investments, the outcome is often characterized by high participation but inefficiently low technology investments and abatement.},

While inflation aversion decreases with income and increases with the education level, unemployment aversion is independent of income and decreases with the level of education. In spite of income and education dependence, aversion towards inflation is less than aversion towards unemployment not just on average but at all levels of income and education. This suggests that issues of social incidence are not a dominant concern for macroeconomic policy making on anti-inflation and anti-unemployment policies.},

In this paper, we use both weekly national and daily city-specific (Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne) data to investigate the extent to which retail fuel prices in Germany adjust to changes in the international crude oil price. At the national level with weekly prices, we find positive asymmetries for both gasoline and diesel within the period 2003–2007, reflecting that retail prices react more swiftly to crude oil price increases than decreases. In contrast, for 2009–2013, we observe symmetric adjustment and negative asymmetry for retail diesel and gasoline prices, respectively. The city level analysis supports our findings in the latter time period. Thus, regulatory measures aimed at the retail fuel market over recent years seem to have been effective, and, contrary to consumers' perception, we find no evidence for excessive market power or collusion. },

      abstract = {The sustainable supply of energy is high on the agenda of many European countries. One of the pertinent issues, the future role of nuclear power, has gained increasing attention after the nuclear disaster at Fukushima, Japan. As a contribution to preference elicitation, we test whether the relationship between subjective well-being (SWB) of European citizens and the supply of nuclear power has changed after the Fukushima nuclear accident of March 11, 2011. Survey data for about 124,000 individuals in 23 European countries reveal that while European citizens' SWB was statistically unrelated to the share of nuclear power before the Fukushima disaster, it was negatively related to the nuclear share after the disaster. Taking the relationship between SWB and the nuclear share as an indicator of preference, this suggests the existence of an induced preference change.},

The estimated relationships are taken to represent preference relationships over attributes of electricity supply systems (costs, safety, environmental friendliness, etc.). Controlling for a variety of individual and macro-level factors, we find that individuals’ SWB varies systematically and significantly with differences in the electricity mix across countries and across time. Among other results, we find that a greater share of solar & wind power relative to nuclear power and electricity from coal and oil is associated with greater SWB at all levels of income and that the implied preference for solar & wind power over nuclear power has risen drastically after the Fukushima nuclear accident.},

This paper provides an extensive empirical analysis shedding light on the various sources through which ethnic diversity and polarization affects economic growth indirectly. It advances and empirically establishes the hypothesis that ethnic diversity has a strong direct negative impact on economic growth, whereas ethnic polarization has non-negligible indirect economic effects through the specified channel variables.},

Ihr Zeithorizont reicht von der Stadtentwicklungstheorie Giovanni Boteros im 16. Jahrhundert bis zur »Neuen Ökonomischen Geographie« alias »geographischen Ökonomik« der Gegenwart. In mehreren Beiträgen wird aufgezeigt, wie man mit Hilfe des historischen Fundus an ökonomischen Theorien Städte und Landschaften lesen kann. Eine gleichmäßig flächendeckende Behandlung der Geschichte der Raumwirtschaftslehre soll der Band allerdings nicht leisten. Er enthält vielmehr zwei Schwerpunkte, die sicherlich auch für kundige Leser Neues enthalten. Der erste ist eine Gesamtschau auf Thünens raumwirtschaftliches Gleichgewichtsmodell, die reichhaltige und tiefgründige Überlegungen aus Thünens unveröffentlichten Manuskripten einbezieht. Der zweite Schwerpunkt ist die historische Darstellung und analytische Betrachtung der Raumforschung deutscher Wirtschaftswissenschaftler während und nach der NS-Zeit. Darin wird unter anderem deutlich, wie eng etliche Ökonomen – von denen einige später in der Bundesrepublik Ansehen genossen – während des Krieges unter dem Leitbegriff »Raumordnung« in die Planung der Umsiedlung und Vernichtung von Juden und anderen Ortsansässigen in den eroberten Gebieten im Osten eingebunden waren.},

A chapter is devoted to each of the major developments in the history of the discipline, before a concluding chapter in which the authors draw together some of the key strands and comment on some major works and textbooks in the history of economic ideas. They also reflect on the changes in economic thinking within the general context of the philosophy of science. This new edition continues to offer the clear and concise coverage of the main schools of thought and paradigm shifts in the field that has become the volume’s trademark. The book has been thoroughly updated throughout in order to reflect changes in the landscape of the field. Details on key thinkers, and aspects of the story such as the evolution of scholarship on growth and development, have been added or expanded, whilst not compromising on the book’s concise approach. Key updates include: Biographical- and bibliographical information is brought up to date throughout the text North American economists John Kenneth Galbraith and Kenneth Ewart Boulding make their first appearance in this edition Information on developments in institutional economics, addressing in particular the works of 2009 Nobel prize winner Elinor Ostrom). This book has become well known for its innovative coverage of the economic thinking of mainland Europe, whilst also addressing Anglo-American trends. It provides a short and highly readable overview of the evolution of economic thought, usable in courses where the history of economic thought constitutes only a small part or required background reading. It continues to be an extremely useful, much needed text for all introductory economics courses in the field.},

      abstract = {The New Neoclassical Synthesis (NNS) provides the established macroeconomic foundation for monetary policy. The Great Recession has, however, unveiled a number of unresolved issues. Prominent scholars have stressed the connections of the NNS with the founders of macroeconomic thought, Wicksell and Keynes. Our main contention is that the NNS fails to consider, and learn from, the hallmark of Wicksell's and Keynes's approaches to business cycles, namely investment–saving imbalances (ISI). Systematic studies of macroeconomic instability, and notably the Great Recession, give prominence to this phenomenon. Drawing on Wicksell's and Keynes's insights, this paper provides a framework to deal with ISI and monetary policy according to modern theoretical standards and techniques (e.g. agents seek to optimize intertemporally and markets clear). Section 2 of the paper clarifies some basic theoretical issues underlying the NNS vis-à-vis Wicksell and Keynes. Section 3 presents a dynamic model whereby it is possible to assess some basic issues concerning the macroeconomics of ISI that are at variance with the NNS. Section 4 shows how system stabilization can be achieved by means of a ‘Wicksellian’ interest-rate rule, which, however, displays dynamic features and conditions that differ from the current NNS consensus. Central banks may thus learn that ISI deserve careful symptom monitoring, and that they require greater attention to the dynamic stability of choices of policy reaction functions.},

The motivating example is that of an international climate agreement given private information about the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for emissions abatement. Due to multilateral externalities the principal uses her own emissions besides subsidies to incentivize the agent and to assure his participation. Optimal contracts equalize marginal abatement costs and, thus, can be implemented by a system of competitive permit trading. Moreover, optimal contracts can include a boundary part (i.e., the endogenous, type dependent participation constraint is binding), which is not a copy of the outside option of no contract. Compared to this outside option, a contract can increase emissions of the principal for types with a low WTP, and reduce her payoff for high types. Subsidies can be constant or even decreasing in emission reductions, and turn negative so that the agent reduces emissions and pays the principal.},
