Um die Potenziale der Mikrosimulation als ein Instrument zur Analyse der zukünftigen Versorgungslagen im Elementarbereich und zur Planung entsprechender (politischer) Interventionen zu untersuchen, wurde am Beispiel der Stadt Trier eine Mikrosimulationsstudie durchgeführt. Die Datenbasis...

Although international sanctions are a widely used instrument of coercion, their economic effects are still not well-understood. This study uses a novel dataset and an event study approach to evaluate the economic consequences of international sanctions, thereby visualizing pre-treatment and...

We estimate a logit mixture vector autoregressive model describing monetary policy transmission in the euro area over the period 2003Q1-2019Q4 with a special emphasis on credit conditions. With the help of this model, monetary policy transmission can be described as mixture of two states (e.g.,...

This study introduces the urbanicity index of employment. Unlike traditional measures of urbanization (e.g., urbanization rate), the urbanicity index is distance-based and accounts for the scale aspect as well as the concentration aspect of urbanization. The concentration aspect can be...
