Although development intervention programs can have far-reaching impacts beyond their stated objective, there have been few careful studies of unintended outcomes of such programs. This study assesses the role of Ethiopia’s Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) on household size and dependency...

Previous studies on the relationship between government debt and economic growth have produced very diverse findings. This study examines the relationship between public debt and economic growth in developing countries using a quantile regression approach with fixed effects and bootstrapping on...

This study analyses the intricate connection between tourism and economic growth, emphasising significant gaps in existing literature. The study utilises a comprehensive framework encompassing tourism-led economic growth (TLEG) and economy-driven tourism growth (EDTG), highlighting the...

Das Leibniz-Zentrum für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW) erhebt seit 1993 jährlich die Innovationsaktivitäten der deutschen Wirtschaft. Die Erhebung findet im Auftrag des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) statt und wird in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Fraunhofer Institut...

Purpose The goal is to investigate the relationship between financial performance and environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators and disclosures for a sample of Latin American firms. Design/methodology/approach Dynamic panel data regressions are used to analyze a sample of 114...

This paper aims to understand the health effects of energy poverty in Germany using SOEP panel data from 2010 to 2020. Linear probability models and fixed effects ordered logit models reveal a consistently negative relationship of three expenditures based energy poverty indicators with general...

We empirically investigate the economic impact of natural disasters on food prices and production. We address the key issues of data aggregation and counterfactual biases. Our data set consists of regional information on prices and production for fourteen food products in Peru. This granularity...

We propose an observation-driven dynamic common factor model for missing value imputation in high-dimensional panel data. The model exploits both serial and cross-sectional information in the data and can easily cope with time-variation in conditional means and variances, as well as with either...

The volatility of exchange rates is considered to be an important measure of a country's economic vulnerability and has a direct or indirect causal relationship with a large number of macroeconomic variables. The aim of this study is to analyze the macroeconomic variables in the economic...

Sample R is a refreshment sample of the SOEP-Core. We apply a stratified two-stage sampling design to draw a sample of anchor persons from the population register. We oversample former lignite mining regions (brown coal) all over Germany as well as the younger part of the general population aged...

Modern economies are progressively acknowledging the need to assess environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) elements to identify possible risks and possibilities. The financial sector, exerting significant influence over the economy, is essential for sustaining economic stability...

Economic growth and development are key to societal well-being, yet emerging economies in Central Asia and the Caucasus face challenges such as labor market inefficiencies, uneven capital distribution, and weak institutions. This study examines the impact of education, institutional quality,...

This paper analyzes how interaction effects can be consistently estimated under economically plausible assumptions in linear panel models with a fixed Tdimension. We advocate for a correlated interaction term estimator (CITE) and show that it is consistent under conditions that are not...
