In this seminar, a paper is presented that develops a framework for the representation of material flows in competitive equilibrium. Material balances track material flows which adjust endogenously to economic transactions. Negative environmental effects of resource extraction and waste deposition are assumed and it is shown that taxing resource extraction restores efficiency. Taxing waste only...
We combine theoretical and numerical analysis to derive optimal combinations of output-based allocation of emissions allowances and consumption taxes, where ‘optimal’ means from a global or regional welfare perspective. A key analytical finding is that output-based allocation of emissions allowances and consumption taxes are complements rather than substitutes. A key numerical finding is that the...

Disruptions of labor market trajectories have lasting effects on later economic success. Displacement due to forced labor conscription is a disruption that remains understudied despite its continued prevalence in contemporary contexts. I investigate the consequences of exposure to forced labor conscription for individuals' long-term labor market outcomes. I exploit the fact that cohorts of Dutch...

Sollten Politik, Unternehmen und Gewerkschaften nicht alles daransetzen, existierende Strukturen und Arbeitsplätze zu erhalten? Die Antwort auf diese Frage ist entscheidend, ob Deutschland auch in 20 Jahren ...

Thus, understanding the process from depression symptoms to diagnosis is crucial. Aims: This study aims to disentangle (1) risk factors for depression symptoms from (2) facilitators and barriers to receiving a diagnosis after experiencing depression symptoms. ...
