In conventional proxy VAR analysis, the shocks of interest are identified by external instruments. This is typically accomplished by considering the covariance of the instruments and the reducedform residuals. Alternatively, the instruments may be internalized by augmenting the VAR process by the instruments or proxies. These alternative identification methods are compared and it is shown that the ...
Die Bundesregierung hat sich auf Entlastungen bei den hohen Sprit- und Energiepreisen geeinigt. Zu den geplanten Maßnahmen eine Einschätzung von Marcel Fratzscher, Präsident des Deutschen Instituts für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin):
FAIRness of research data, meaning that data are managed according to the principles of being Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable, has become a ubiquitous requirement in research data policies as well as in general guidelines for research data management. Meeting this requirement largely depends on the availability of rich and standardized DDI metadata—based on the Data Documentation ...
This paper analyses determinants of pass-through for Germany’s 2022 temporary fuel discount at its implementation and subsequent termination. Based on a unique dataset of fuel station characteristics and prices, we employ a two-stage Regression Discontinuity in Time (RDiT) methodology to estimate spatial passthrough variation. Our findings indicate that horizontal and vertical market structures exert ...
