In the first CFM-Traction Workshop, preliminary results on the scale of savings that CCfDs could achieve and a first estimate of the amount of public funding required for CCfDs in Germany were discussed, in addition to design options for CCfDs. Furthermore, estimated distributional effects of CO2 pricing along the value chain were discussed. In this second workshop, follow-up analysis on these...

DIW Weekly Report 37 / 2021
Recently, the coronavirus pandemic has caused economic developments in major economies to drift apart: While infection rates were declining and production was experiencing strong growth in places such as Europe and the United States in the second quarter of 2021, emerging economies were experiencing strict economic restrictions due to high case numbers. In some of these countries, the economy declined. ...

DIW Weekly Report 37 / 2021
The German economy is taking longer than expected to overcome the pandemic: It is likely to increase by only 2.1 percent in 2021 and capacities remain markedly underutilized. In addition, global supply bottlenecks are affecting German industry, resulting in stalled domestic production despite high demand. Following a profitable summer due to low case numbers and progress in the vaccination campaign, ...

SOEPpapers 1146 / 2021
This paper analyses the relationship between locus of control (LOC) and the demand for supplementary health insurance. Drawing on longitudinal data from Germany, we find robust evidence that individuals having an internal LOC are more likely to take up supplementary private health insurance (SUPP). The increase in the probability to have a SUPP due to one standard deviation increase in the measure ...

SOEPpapers 1143 / 2021
Usually, it is expected that income increases life satisfaction. In recent years tough, research emerged that shows how subjective well-being, including satisfaction, influences objective measures, as for example income. This would then require explicit identification strategies for estimating effects of income on life satisfaction. I address this issue using German SOEP data and Lewbel’s (2012) method, ...

Climate Friendly Materials Platform
This webinar brought together experts, industry representatives, and policymakers to discuss how the carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) can play its part in the Fit for 55 (F55) package and unlock climate-friendly investments at EU scale. In particular, it offered a space to discuss an alternative design option for the CBAM, often referred to as the excise option (option 6 in the...
