Current energy projections often envision an expansion of nuclear capacities to decarbonize future energy systems. However, this contrasts with the historic and current status of the nuclear industry, marked by techno-economic challenges for both light-water and non-light-water reactor technologies. Regardless, projections of strong nuclear growth have persisted since the 1970s. This paper investigates ...

A shortage of affordable housing can be exacerbated by wars, natural disasters, or rising demand. In response, governments impose rent control, capping rents. This policy has been used on a large scale since World War I and has gained new popularity, with rent brakes introduced in Germany, France, Ireland, and Spain between 2015 and 2023, and with the strengthening of rent control in Austria and the ...

Introduction Most people want two or more children, but many do not realize their fertility desires. At the same time, recent studies suggest that up to 15% of parents regret having children. To investigate how fertility mismatch relates to well-being (i.e., affect balance, life satisfaction, family life satisfaction, and work satisfaction), this preregistered study used nationally representative cross-sectional ...

This paper analyses the determinants of peoples’ decision to purchase public transport season tickets. Based on the Deutschlandticket, it focuses on identifying primary customer groups, the role of public transport irregularities such as delays and cancellations, and behavioural inertia of repetitive purchase decisions. It builds on a panel dataset covering survey answers and GPS tracking data from ...

This article explains how the triadic brokering system in the European Union affects the conditions of work and pay of mobile care workers. Using original survey data gathered from Polish care workers in Germany, the authors found that workers earn less money the more hours they work. Based on qualitative interviews with care workers and representatives of labor market intermediaries, they argue that ...

A central assumption for identifying structural shocks in vector autoregressive (VAR) models via heteroskedasticity is the time-invariance of the impact effects of the shocks. It is shown how that assumption can be tested when long-run restrictions based on the cointegration structure of the variables are available for identifying structural shocks. The importance of performing such tests is illustrated ...

Competition authorities increasingly rely on economic screening tools to identify markets where firms deviate from competitive norms. Traditional screening methods assume that collusion occurs through secret agreements. However, recent research highlights that firms can use public announcements to coordinate decisions, thereby reducing competition while avoiding detection.We propose a novel approach ...

Nuclear fusion is envisioned for near-term energy generation deployment, with projected timelines for commercial deployment of fusion expected for the 2030s. Previous research has been limited to either economic or technological maturity assessments of the sector. To address this gap, we design a novel framework that evaluates fusion projects across the most common reactor types and derives the trajectories ...

Objectives: This study examines unintended consequences (UIC) of public health and social measures (PHSM) in camps and camp-like settings and assesses the pathways through which these UIC arise. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and conceptual analysis of UIC from PHSM aimed at preventing SARS-CoV-2 spread in these settings. PHSM were classified using the WHO taxonomy and the CONSEQUENT framework ...
