This paper studies empirically the relationship between trade policy and individual income risk faced by workers. The analysis proceeds in three steps. First, longitudinal data on workers are used to estimate time-varying individual income risk parameters in various manufacturing sectors. The...

This paper develops a framework for the quantitative analysis of individual income dynamics, mobility and welfare. Individual income is assumed to follow a stochastic process with two (unobserved) components, an i.i.d. component representing measurement error or transitory income shocks and an...

In this paper, we empirically assess the causal relationship between trade and individual income risk and study the role that human capital plays in this relationship using a rich, worker-level, longitudinal data set from Germany spanning from 1976 to 2012. Our estimates suggest substantial...

This policy report studies the effects of a sudden stop of natural gas imports from Russia on the German economy. The analysis focuses on the supply-side effects that arise when a gas shortage affects production in the gas-intensive manufacturing sectors, with a corresponding production...

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Auswirkungen eines sofortigen Lieferstopps russischen Erdgases auf die gesamtwirtschaftliche Produktion in Deutschland. Dieser Lieferstopp kann entweder die Folge eines Importembargos der Europäischen Union oder einer Entscheidung Russlands (Exportembargo)...

This paper considers a class of growth models with idiosyncratic human capital risk and private information about individual effort choices (moral hazard). Households are infinitely-lived and have preferences that allow for a time-additive expected utility representation with a one-period...

This article summarises the results of a study on the Germany energy crisis and the need for an extension and modificationsof the electricity price break. The study shows that the energy crisis led to a short-run output loss comparable to the output losses as-sociated with the COVID-19 crisis in...

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Wachstumseffekte öffentlicher Investitionen in die sozial-ökologische Transformation von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Die Analyse zeigt, dass eine drastische Ausweitung der öffentlichen Klima- und Sozialinvestitionen in Deutschland einen Wirtschaftsboom...
