    Looking for Jobs with Good Pay and Good Working Conditions

    In perfectly competitive labour markets, there is a market for non-material job amenities in which workers' willingness to pay for these goods implies that workers accept compensating wage differentials, such that jobs with better working conditions should have lower wages. In labour market characterised by frictions, workers' wages typically depend also on firm productivity. However many job...

    Is There a Bubble in the Chinese Housing Market?

    For many analysts, the Chinese economy is spurred by a bubble in the housing market, probably driven by the fiscal stimulus package and massive credit expansion, with pos-sible adverse effects to the real economy. To get insights into the size of the bubble, the house price evolution is investigated by panel cointegration techniques. Evidence is based on a dataset for 35 major cities....

    Regional Patterns of Intangible Capital, Agglomeration Effects and Localised Spillovers in Germany

    We use a large micro-dataset to assess the importance of intangible capital - organisation, R&D and ICT capital - for the economic performance of establishments and regions in Germany. In 2003 self-produced intangible capital accounted for more than one fifth of the total capital stock of estab-lishments. More than half of the intangible capital is R&D capital. This high proportion is mainly due...

    Do Regions with Entrepreneurial Neighbors Perform Better? A Spatial Econometric Approach for German Regions

    We use a neoclassical production function to analyze the effects of knowledge spillovers via entrepreneurship on economic performance of 337 German districts. To take the spatial dependence structure of the data into account, we estimate a spatial Durbin model. We highlight the importance of the choice of the appropriate weight matrix. We find positive knowledge spillover effects via...

    The Strategic Use of Private Quality Standards in Food Supply Chains

    This paper highlights the strategic role that private quality standards play in food supply chains. Considering two symmetric retailers that are exclusively supplied by a finite number of producers and endogenizing the producers' delivery choice, we show that there exist two asymmetric equilibria in the retailers' quality requirements. The asymmetry is driven by both the retailers.incentive to...

    Speculative Partnership Dissolution with Auctions

    The literature on partnership dissolution generally takes the dissolution decision as given and examines whether dissolution is efficient, i.e., whether the asset is allocated to the partner with the highest valuation. A well-known result is that k + 1-price auctions dissolve a partnership efficiently when the share structure is sufficiently close to equal. In this paper, we endogenize the...

    Too Rich to Do the Dirty Work? Job Quality, Search and Wealth

    This paper uses panel data on jobs and windfalls to investigate the impact of wealth on job choices in a framework of multidimensional jobs. In a labour market characterised by informational frictions, windfalls (lottery wins, inheritance...) are expected to affect job durations differentially depending on job quality (here measured by subjective job satisfaction). The impact of unanticipated...

    Long-Run Consequences of Natural Disasters: Evidence from Tangshan

    Exploiting Tangshan 1976 - the deadliest earthquake in the 20th century - as a source of exogenous variation, we estimate the long-run effect of a historical shock on contemporary socio-economic outcomes. Cohorts born after the earthquake were not only larger, but exhibit lower school completion rates, particularly among the female today. Despite lower schooling levels, there is no evidence for...

    Stop Smoking, Your Paycheck Will Thank You! Wage Effects from Smoking Cessation

    A growing body of literature has investigated the wage penalty attached to smoking. Little research, in contrast, has been done on the wage effects of smoking cessation. Using survey panel data from Germany, we study the relative earnings of smokers and former smokers over an extended period of time. We control for selection into smoking by imposing smoking initiation as the common initial...

    Personal Bankruptcy Law, Wealth and Entrepreneurship: Theory and Evidence from the Introduction of a "Fresh Start"

    A personal bankruptcy law that allows for a "fresh start" after bankruptcy reduces the individual risk involved in entrepreneurial activity. On the other hand, as risk shifts to creditors who recover less of their credit after a debtor's bankruptcy, lenders may charge higher interest rates or ration credit supply, which can hamper entrepreneurship. Both aspects of a more forgiving personal...

    Extending the Empirical Basis for Wealth Inequality Research Using Statistical Matching of Administrative and Survey Data

    Social security entitlements are a substantial source of wealth that grows in importance over the individual's lifecycle. Despite its quantitative relevance, social security wealth has been thus far omitted from wealth inequality analyses. In Germany, it is the lack of adequate micro data that accounts for this shortcoming. The two main contributions of this paper are: First, to elaborate a...
