On 13 May, the successful soft launch of a new Forum4Mica thread on the Geolinking Service SoRa took place in an online event with 100 invited participants. The Geolinking Service SoRa enables spatial analysis of social science survey data and contributes to socio-spatial research. It provides prepared geodata sets and linkage methods.
Der Geolinking Service SoRa ermöglicht die räumliche Auswertung von sozialwissenschaftlichen Umfragedaten und leistet einen Beitrag zur sozialräumlichen Forschung. Er bietet vorbereitete Geodatensätze und Verknüpfungsmethoden an. So können u.a. Geodaten des IÖR-Monitor verknüpft werden, um eine Analyse des Wohnumfeldes (auch zu Aspekten wie Erreichbarkeit oder Dichte) durchzuführen. Weiterhin wird ...
The Geolinking Service SoRa enables spatial analysis of social science survey data and supports socio-spatial research. Pre-defined geospatial datasets and linking methods will be offered, e.g. spatial indicators from the IOER-Monitor to analyses the living environment (including aspects of accessibility, or density). Furthermore, geocoding (based on BKG Geocoder) is offered to transfer address lists ...

In structural vector autoregressive analysis, it has become quite popular to identify some structural shocks of interest by external instruments or proxies. This study points out a variety of areas where such proxies have been used and sketches the way the proxies have been constructed. It reviews identification and estimation methods that have been considered in this context. Moreover, it points out ...

They are among five fellows and will work on their paper "News-driven fluctuations and monetary policy transmission" during their fellowship. The Lamfalussy Fellowship program was launched in ...
Coping with prolonged periods of low availability of wind and solar power, also referred to as variable renewable energy droughts or “Dunkelflaute”, emerges as a key challenge for realizing decarbonized energy systems based on renewable energy. Here we investigate the role of long-duration electricity storage and geographical balancing through transmission in dealing with such events in Europe, combining ...
