Materialmangel bleibt auch 2022 Hauptproblem der Bauwirtschaft : Interview mit Laura Pagenhardt

Subjective Age and Attitudes toward Own Aging across Two Decades of Historical Time

A large body of empirical evidence has accumulated showing that the experience of old age is “younger,” more “agentic,” and “happier” than ever before. However, it is not yet known whether historical improvements in well-being, control beliefs, cognitive functioning, and other outcomes generalize to individuals’ views on their own aging process. To examine historical changes in such views on aging, ...

Coal Transitions - Part 1: A Systematic Map and Review of Case Study Learnings from Regional, National, and Local Coal Phase-Out Experiences

A rapid coal phase-out is needed to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, but is hindered by serious challenges ranging from vested interests to the risks of social disruption. To understand how to organize a global coal phase-out, it is crucial to go beyond cost-effective climate mitigation scenarios and learn from the experience of previous coal transitions. Despite the relevance of the topic, evidence ...

Bundeswirtschaftsminister Robert Habeck hat heute seine „Eröffnungsbilanz“ für den Klimaschutz vorgestellt. Es folgt eine Einordnung von Claudia Kemfert, Leiterin der Abteilung Energie, Verkehr, Umwelt am Deutschen Institut für Wirtschaftsforschung (DIW Berlin):

Comparison of Local Projection Estimators for Proxy Vector Autoregressions

Different local projection (LP) estimators for structural impulse responses of proxy vector autoregressions are reviewed and compared algebraically and with respect to their small sample suitability for inference. Conditions for numerical equivalence and similarities of some estimators are provided. Two generalized least squares (GLS) projection estimators are found to be more accurate than the other ...

On the Economics of Storage for Electricity: Current State and Future Market Design Prospects

Since the early beginnings of the electricity system, storage has been of high relevance for balancing supply and demand. Through expanded electricity production by variable renewable technologies such as wind and photovoltaics, the discussion about new options for storage technologies is emerging. In addition, the electricity markets were subject to remarkable alterations. Some developments which ...

Coase and Cap-and-Trade: Evidence on the Independence Property from the European Carbon Market

I examine the Coasean independence property in a large multinational cap-and-trade scheme for greenhouse gas emissions, the EU Emissions Trading System. I analyze whether emissions of power producers are independent from allowance allocations by leveraging a change in allocation policy for a difference-in-differences strategy. The evidence suggests that the independence property holds overall and for ...

Preiseffekte für Neubau- und Bestandsleistungen: Eine gemeinsame Studie von DIW Econ, DIW Berlin und Heinze GmbH im Auftrag des Bundesinstituts für Bau-, Stadt- und Raumforschung (BBSR)

Hohe Preise für Kupfer, Lithium, Nickel und Kobalt könnten Energiewende ausbremsen

Studie am DIW Berlin geht Frage nach, wie sich die Energiewende auf die Preise bestimmter Metalle auswirken könnte – Preise dürften in Szenario auf historische Niveaus klettern – Energiewende würde sich verteuern und verzögern - Global koordinierte Klimapolitik könnte gegensteuern und Planungssicherheit für Metallproduzenten schaffen Die Energiewende kann ...
