Capital/labor substitution, capital deepening, and FDI

Antony, Jürgen - 2007

Empirical studies show that the elasticity of substitution between capital and labor is larger than one in developed countries but smaller in developing countries. This paper develops a production function which allows for this structure in the elasticity of substitution. The case of a falling...

A dual elasticity of substitution production function with an application to cross country inequality

Antony, Jürgen - 2007

This paper develops a production function which two separate elasticities of substitution between two input factors. One of these elasticities is obtained if the factor intensity equals a particular baseline value. The second part of the paper gives an economic application and shows the...

The economics of regional demarcation in banking

Raab, Simone; Welzel, Peter - 2010

Cooperation among savings and cooperative banks was criticized by the European Commission because of potentially anti-competitive effects. In an industrial economics model of banks taking deposits and giving loans we look at regional demarcation as one of such cooperative practices. There are...

A further note on a new class of solutions to dynamic programming problems arising in economic growth

Antony, Jürgen; Maußner, Alfred - 2008

This note extends the finding of Benhabib and Rusticchini (1994) who provide a class of SDGE models, whose solution is characterized by a constant savings rate. We show that this class of models may be interpreted as a standard representative agent SDGE model with costly adjustment of capital...

Market dynamics, dynamic resource management and environmental policy in the context of (strong) sustainability

Klarl, Torben - 2010

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between market dynamics, dynamic resource management and environmental policy. In contrast to static market entry games, this paper draws attention to the effects of market dynamics on resource dynamics et vice versa, because (1) we show that...

Regulation, credit risk transfer, and bank lending

Pausch, Thilo; Welzel, Peter - 2011

behavior and risk sensitivity of a risk-neutral bank. The bank is exposed to credit risk and may use credit default swaps (CDS …) for hedging purposes. Regulation is found to induce the risk-neutral bank to behave in a more risk-sensitive way: Compared … trading is found to interact with the former effect when regulation accepts CDS as an instrument to mitigate credit risk …
