DIW Discussion Papers 2146 / 2025
We replicate a study by Känzig (American Economic Review, 111 (2021), 1092-1125), who employs structural vector autoregressive techniques to examine the impact of changes in oil supply expectations on the price of oil and other macroeconomic aggregates. Känzig identifies an oil supply news shock by constructing a proxy from OPEC announcements about their production plans. As this proxy is a controversial ...

Cluster-Seminar Öffentliche Finanzen und Lebenslagen

I estimate how sibling spillovers differ for girls and boys with older brothers or sisters in migrant and native families, using a regression discontinuity design on high-quality administrative data. Exploiting exogenous variation in older siblings’ achievement...

SOEP Brown Bag Seminar
This paper examines the long-term impact of childhood exposure to aggregate shocks on intertemporal decision-making. Drawing on survey data from 80,000 individuals in 76 countries and exploiting within-country, cross-cohort variation in exposure to natural and man-made disasters, I show that such shocks during childhood significantly reduce patience in adulthood. The effects are concentrated...
