Die Wirtschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts ist geprägt von einem neuen Phänomen: dem strukturellen Überschuss des privaten Sparwillens im Verhältnis zum privaten Investitionswillen. Dies gilt auch bei Prosperität und niedrigen Zinsen. Das ist einerseits vom Wunsch getrieben, im Alter über ein ausreichendes Vermögen zu verfügen. Andererseits nimmt die Nachfrage nach ...

We use unique administrative data that covers the universe of employees subject to social security and firms in Germany to address this question. We first establish some novel stylised facts in parental leave-taking  with ...

Abstract: Through social interaction in the workplace, coworkers are likely to learn from each other (knowledge spillover) and this may extend the returns to firm-provided training from trained workers onto untrained coworkers. Based on German matched-employer employee data covering the universe of employees we investigate whether unskilled workers derive long-term career benefits if they were ...

For this purpose, we combine two innovative data sets: administrative records on xenophobic crime by ...

Abstract:   The rise of dominant firms in data driven industries is often credited to their alleged data advantage. Empirical evidence lending support to this conjecture is lacking. In this paper, we show that data as an input into machine learning tasks displays features that favor the hypothesis that data is a source of market power. We study the search result quality for search keywords on ...

One such obfuscation strategy is partitioned pricing in which the price is split into a base price and add-on fees. While empirical evidence suggests that partitioned pricing impacts consumer decisions through salience effects, its consumer ...
