Medienbasierter Index zeigt: Epidemien bringen in der Regel dauerhafte wirtschaftliche Einbußen mit sich

Die Verbreitung des Corona-Virus trifft die Wirtschaft weltweit hart. Wie hart genau, ist jedoch schwer vorherzusehen. Prognosen über den Verlauf und die wirtschaftlichen Folgen von Epidemien sind auch deshalb sehr unsicher, weil es an entsprechenden Modellen für die Dynamik von Epidemien mangelt. Ein nachrichtenbasierter Epidemieindex, der Medienberichte für den Zeitraum von Januar 1990 bis Februar ...

Leibniz-Evaluierung: SOEP mit „exzellent“ bewertet

Der Senat der Leibniz-Gemeinschaft bescheinigt der forschungsbasierten Infrastruktureinrichtung Sozio-oekonomisches Panel (SOEP) am Deutschen Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin) insgesamt eine „exzellente“ Leistung. Mit dem Sozio-oekonomischen Panel (SOEP) werde am Institut eine weltweit herausragende und im höchsten Maße anerkannte Forschungsdateninfrastruktur ...

Neues SOEP-Forschungsprojekt: Was sind die sozialen Folgen der Corona-Pandemie?

Welche wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Folgen hat die Corona-Pandemie aktuell und zukünftig für die Menschen in Deutschland? Dieser Frage gehen SOEP-Forschende gemeinsam mit WissenschaftlerInnen der Universität Bielefeld, des Robert-Koch-Instituts (RKI), der Charité Berlin und des Wissenschaftszentrums Berlin im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts „Sozio-oekonomische Faktoren und ...

Airbnb and Rents: Evidence from Berlin

This is an online seminar using Webex. You will receive the login data with the invitation to the talk. Abstract:   Cities worldwide have regulated the peer-to-peer short-term rental market claiming that those markets remove apartments from the long-term housing market, causing an increase in rents. However, at the time many of these policies were passed, empirical evidence for or...

Physician effects in antibiotic prescribing: Evidence from physician exits

This is an online seminar using Webex. You will receive the login data with the invitation to the talk. Abstract:   Antibiotic resistance is a severe problem within our current health systems. One of the main strategies to combat the rise of antibiotic resistance is to improve individual physicians' antibiotic prescribing practices. However, this strategy requires that differences in...

Determinants and effects of mergers and acquisitions: Evidence from drug projects in the diabetes market

This is an online seminar using Webex. You will receive the login data with the invitation to the talk. Abstract:   There is an ongoing debate both in academia and in policy circles about the effects of takeovers of small, young firms by large incumbents in innovative industries. Many argue that such takeovers are anticompetitive and harm innovation by killing off nascent competition....

Using Text Mining for Information Retrieval Purposes (of merger control cases)

This is an online seminar using Webex. You will receive the login data with the invitation to the talk. Charlotte will summarize the methodology of textmining for information retrieval, different techniques, advantages and disadvantages. Primarily, she will be discussing the textmining procedure she undertook to develop and verify a database about the merger level characteristics and Commission...

Bayesian Inference for Structural Vector Autoregressions Identified by Markov-Switching Heteroskedasticity

In this study, Bayesian inference is developed for structural vector autoregressive models in which the structural parameters are identified via Markov-switching heteroskedasticity. In such a model, restrictions that are just-identifying in the homoskedastic case, become over-identifying and can be tested. A set of parametric restrictions is derived under which the structural matrix is globally or ...

Constructing Joint Confidence Bands for Impulse Response Functions of VAR Models: A Review

Methods for constructing joint confidence bands for impulse response functions which are commonly used in vector autoregressive analysis are reviewed. While considering separate intervals for each horizon individually still seems to be the most common approach, a substantial number of methods have been proposed for making joint inferences about the complete impulse response paths up to a given horizon. ...
