DIW-Präsident Marcel Fratzscher kommentiert die heutige Sitzung des EZB-Rats wie folgt:
We consider the problem of regression with selectively observed covariates in a nonparametric framework. Our approach relies on instrumental variables that explain variation in the latent covariates but have no direct effect on selection. The regression function of interest is shown to be a weighted version of observed conditional expectation where the weighting function is a fraction of selection ...

The sheer amount and extent of the support economic lifelines makes a rushed termination of policies potentially subject to dire cliff effects. Avoiding these cliff effects requires a combination of decisive and long-lasting fiscal stimuli with an ...
Europäischer Green Deal bietet Chancen für Investitionen in emissionsintensive Grundstoffindustrie - Klarer politischer Rahmen muss sicherstellen, dass Investitionen auch wirtschaftlich sind und angestoßen werden – Einführung von CO2-Differenzverträgen und Reform des EU-Emissionshandels unerlässlich Die klimaneutrale Transformation der Industrie gelingt nur, wenn ...
Die Europäische Kommission steht vor der Herausforderung und Chance, den Green Deal umzusetzen und dabei gleichzeitig die Erholung der Wirtschaft infolge der Corona-Krise einzuleiten.

For the European Union to realise its ambition of carbon neutrality, emissions from basic material production need to be reduced through low-carbon production processes, material efficiency and substitution, as well as enhanced recycling. Different reform options for the EU ETS are discussed that ensure a consistent carbon price incentive for all these mitigation options, while avoiding the risk of ...

This investigation makes use of rich, longitudinal, nationally representative German data to assess whether there is evidence for such a syndrome. Furthermore, ...
