Aufgrund der Klimaschutzverpflichtungen Deutschlands erscheint der Ausstieg aus der Braunkohle mittelfristig unausweichlich. Bereits in der kurzen Frist dürfte es zu einem deutlichen Kapazitätsrückgang kommen. Über 10 000 Arbeitsplätze sind allein in Ostdeutschland betroffen. In der Branche...

Since the mid-1990s value added has grown faster in the Swedish business sector than in the business sector of most other OECD countries. We investigate the association between ICT and R&D capital and value added in the Swedish non-farm business sector. By estimating neoclassical production...

This paper aims to provide a frame of mind to understand the link between structural change and regional unemployment, and, based on it, to survey the most recent literature. An overly optimistic view on the ability of the adjustment mechanism to generate convergence in local unemployment rates...

This paper examines the interdependence between imperfect competition and emis-sions trading in a two-sector (clean and dirty) economy. We compare the welfare implica-tions of an absolute cap-and-trade scheme (permit trading) with a relative intensity-basedscheme (credit trading). We nd...

Bridging the gap between the literatures on industrial change and human capital externalities we investigate the complementarity between aggregate regional education and job turnover. On the level of regional industries in Germany we find strong evidence for such complementarity. Thus, regional...

?The economic crisis has changed the order of priorities of economic policy in developed economies. Growth enhancing polices have become a top priority and industrial policy has taken center stage among them in countries where it was not explicitly considered in the past. Many industrialized...

This paper examines the interdependence between imperfect competition and emissions trading. We particularly analyze the long run equilibrium in a two-sector (‘clean’ and ‘dirty’) model with Cournot competition among firms who face a fixed cost of production. The clean sector is defined...

The ‘long decade of disarmament’ between the mid-1980s and the late 1990s provides ample evidence of the effects of a substantial defense downturn. The chapter starts out with a brief discussion of various concepts of conversion, focusing on a resource-reuse perspective. This is followed by...
