While inequality of opportunity (IOp) in earnings is well studied, the literature on IOp in individual net wealth is scarce to non-existent. This is problematic because both theoretical and empirical evidence show that the position in the wealth and income distribution can significantly diverge. We measure ex-ante IOp in net wealth for Germany using data from the Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Ex-ante ...

DIW Weekly Report 45 / 2024

Calculations based on data from the energy service provider ista show average price increases were the highest in the German state of Rhineland- Palatinate, and the lowest in Hamburg. Owing to these price hikes and ongoing energy-saving efforts, the ...

Seminar
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...

Cluster-Seminar Öffentliche Finanzen und Lebenslagen
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...

Refereed essays Web of Science
We examine how competition affects VAT pass-through in isolated oligopolistic markets as defined by the Greek islands. Using daily gasoline prices and a difference-in-differences methodology, we investigate how changes in VAT rates are passed through to consumers in islands with different market structure. We show that pass-through increases with competition, going from 50% in monopoly to around 80% ...
