Pandemic-Ready Data: Linking the Socio-Economic Panel with Administrative Health Records

The COVID-19 pandemic exposed significant weaknesses in Germany’s ability to generate timely, equity-sensitive evidence at the household level. While national surveillance systems produced daily counts of confirmed cases, hospitalisations, and deaths, they offered little insight into the social and economic conditions shaping the spread and impact of the virus.

The Early Bird Gets the Germs? The Impact of Early Daycare Attendance on Children’s Health

In recent decades, the share of very young children in daycare has significantly increased in many OECD countries, including Germany. Despite the critical role of child health in development and later life success, the impact of early daycare attendance on health has received little attention in the economic literature.

Split Between Accelerationists, Pivoters, and the Unwavering: CEE Energy Policy Responses to Russia’s 2022 Invasion

Dynamic Networks of Social Contact, Social Desire, and Affect Across Time Scales

Fuel Taxation and Environmental Externalities: Evidence from the World’s Largest Environmental Tax Reform

Webinar: Industrial decarbonisation in a fragmented world: an effective carbon price with a ‘climate contribution'

Many debates highlight that EU ETS and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) fail to adequately address exports, resource shuffling and the value chain. These issues are now of particular concern, because (i) the fragmented global climate policy landscape risks further delays in global carbon pricing and (ii) the vulnerability of domestic industries has increased due to energy price shocks and...
