This study examines how student aid eligibility influences application decisions to higher education using administrative data from France. We study the impact of a change in income thresholds for aid eligibility. We find that aid eligibility did not have a uniform effect on students’ applications but varied by gender and academic performance. Highperforming male students shifted their First-Ranked ...

This paper focuses on its implications for market entry.

A study conducted within the SOEP Innovation Sample (SOEP-IS) by Christoph Schmidt-Petri, Daniel Labarca Pinto, and Carsten Schröder with 2,295 respondents confirms that people are much more likely to attribute intentionality to harmful side effects than to beneficial ones.
The findings replicate a classic result from experimental philosophy using representative population data and highlight the potential ...

The economics of crime literature dates back primarily to Becker’s (1968) economic model of crime, which put forward a theory of rational individual decision making to explain when individuals commit crime and the optimal level of crime in society. In the early-mid 1990s, an empirical literature took off – largely taking advantage of aggregate data and panel data methods – to test the economic...

This paper examines the factors that influence the persistence of inflation following energy price shocks. Although the current oil price shock is economically significant, it is less likely to generate persistent inflationary pressures than the energy crisis of 2022– 23, as European gas markets remain relatively stable. Nevertheless, elevated geopolitical uncertainty and households’ recent inflation ...

Heating-expenditure profiles over a residential spell vary systematically with aggregate gas price environments. Using 30 years of German SOEP panel data with 16,055 residential spells among renter households, this paper estimates a negative cross-derivative of log heating and hot-water expenditures per square meter with respect to residence duration and the log gas price index (δ = -0.0045, ...

This paper highlights an underexplored margin of heterogeneity that shapes resilience to disruptions in global shipping - the differential reliance of countries and sectors on specific categories of vessels. We combine US bills of lading records with ship registry and AIS-based port call data to document new stylized facts on vessel deployment, including switching patterns across ships, country specialization ...

The European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has the dual objective of preventing carbon leakage and encouraging adoption of low-carbon tech-nologies abroad. Yet, pursuing both objectives with the same mechanism results in incomplete carbon leakage protection unless global carbon prices converge. As the current geopolitical situation makes rapid convergence seem unlikely, an extension of ...

We study sign asymmetry in the effect of conventional monetary policy on key real macroeconomic variables in the euro area, using monthly data ranging from 2002 until 2022. We make use of local projections with state-dependence coming from the sign of the monetary policy shock, employing shocks identified using high-frequency identification. Our baseline findings suggest that there are asymmetries ...
