Explaining the low labor productivity in East Germany: a spatial analysis

Izem, Rima; Fuchs-Schündeln, Nicola - 2007

This paper presents a spatial analysis of unemployment rates in Germany. The goal of this analysis is to explain the stubbornly low labor productivity and high unemployment rates in Eastern Germany. We build a model of commuting to distinguish between worker and job characteristics as the main...

The effect of feed-in tariffs on the production cost and the landscape externalities of wind power generation in West Saxony, Germany

Drechsler, Martin; Meyerhoff, Jürgen; Ohl, Cornelia - In: Energy Policy 48 (2012) C, pp. 730-736

Although wind power is currently the most efficient source of renewable energy, the cost of wind electricity still exceeds the market price. Subsidies in the form of feed-in tariffs (FIT) have been introduced in many countries to support the expansion of wind power. These tariffs are highly...
