A further examination of the export-led growth hypothesis
Dreger, Christian; Herzer, Dierk - 2011
This paper challenges the common view that exports generally contribute more to GDP growth than a pure change in export volume, as the export-led growth hypothesis predicts. Applying panel cointegration techniques to a production function with non-export GDP as the dependent variable, we find...

Lockdowns and the US unemployment crisis
Dreger, Christian; Gros, Daniel - 2021
We analyse the short-term impact of social distancing measures on the US labour market, using a panel threshold model with high frequency (weekly) data on unemployment across US states. We find that changes in the restrictiveness of mandated social distancing, as measured by the Oxford...

Does Euro Area Membership Affect the Relation between GDP Growth and Public Debt?
Dreger, Christian - 2012
We analyse the relationship between the debt to GDP ratio and real per capita GDP growth for the euro area members by distinguishing between periods of sustainable and non-sustainable debt. Thresholds are theory-based and depend on the macroeconomic framework. If the interest rate exceeds...

European Regional Convergence in a Human Capital Augmented Solow Model
Eckey, Hans-Friedrich; Dreger, Christian; Türck, Matthias - 2006
In this paper, the process of productivity convergence is investigated for the enlarged European Union using regional … control for spatial effects. All specifications confirm the presence of convergence with an annual speed between 3 and 3 … in the speed of convergence across the regions, where a higher speed is striking in particular in France and the UK …

Economic convergence and rent-seeking in Iran
Dreger, Christian; Rahmani, Teymur; Eckey, Hans-Friedrich - 2007
The neoclassical growth model predicts convergence of productivity or per capita output levels across regions. If … participation in the labor force is constant, convergence of per capita income is implied. We investigate this hypothesis for the … support absolute ß-convergence across Iran's provinces and provide some evidence on the adverse effect of rent seeking on …
