Stranded Assets in der Kohleexportindustrie?

Eine Fallstudie des Galilee Basin in Australien Kohleexporteure sind mit eine zunehmend unsicheren Nachfrageentwicklung konfrontiert, die das Risiko des Wertverlustes ihrer Anlagen birgt. Trotz internationaler Klimaschutzbemühungen werden aber weiterhin Projekte wie Carmichael im australischen Galilee Basin entwickelt. Im Seminar stellen wir jüngste Forschungsergebnisse mit dem COALMOD...

Stranded Investments in the Coal Export Industry?

The Case of the Australian Galilee Basin Thermal coal exporters face increasing uncertainty about future coal demand and the risk of asset stranding is increasing. Nevertheless, new export-oriented coal mine projects like the Carmichael project in the Australian Galilee Basin are still brought forward. In this seminar, we discuss research results with the COALMOD-World model with Australian...

R&D Spillovers through RJV Cooperation

We investigate how R&D spillovers propagate across firms linked through Research Joint Ventures (RJVs). Building on the framework developed by Bloom et al. (2013) which considers the opposing effects of knowledge spillovers and product market rivalry, we extend the model to account for RJV cooperation. Since the firm’s decision to join a RJV is endogenous, we build a model of RJV participation. The ...

Inequality over the Business Cycle: The Role of Distributive Shocks

This paper examines how wealth and income inequality dynamics are related to fluctuations in the functional income distribution over the business cycle. In a panel estimation for OECD countries between 1970 and 2016, although inequality is, on average countercyclical and significantly associated with the capital share, one-third of the countries display a pro- or noncyclical relationship. To analyze ...

Stimulating Housing Policy and Housing Tenure Choice: Evidence from the G7 Countries

Housing affordability is a hotly debated issue on global scale. A lack of affordable housing of decent quality is a chronic problem in urban areas. Governments try to alleviate it by stimulating homeownership among middle-income households and providing social housing for the low-income households. Such policies are very costly. Thus, this study aims to assess at least tentatively the effectiveness ...

The Effect of Social Comparison on Debt Taking: Experimental Evidence

A number of studies show that there is a link between social comparison and high levels of household debt. However, the exact mechanisms behind this link are not yet well understood. In this paper, we disentangle two mechanisms by performing a lab experiment designed to study the effects of social image concerns and peer information on consumption choices financed through debt taking. We find that ...

Wird China der erste Dominostein sein?

Dieser Beitrag erschien im Handelsblatt. Die Volksrepublik hat trotz einiger Stärken das Potenzial, die nächste Weltfinanzkrise auszulösen, warnt Marcel Fratzscher. Selten war die wirtschaftliche Zukunft so schwer vorherzusehen wie in der Corona-Krise. Zu viele Unwägbarkeiten und mangelnde Erfahrung im Umgang mit Pandemien erleichtern es Politik und Wissenschaft nicht gerade, die Risiken in ihrer ...

Facebook Shadow Profiles

Data is often at the core of digital products and services, especially when related to online advertising. This has made data protection and privacy a major policy concern. When surfing the web, consumers leave digital traces that can be used to build user profiles and infer preferences. We quantify the extent to which Facebook can track web behavior outside of their own platform. The network of engagement ...
