Das italienische Bankensystem ist bislang recht gut durch die Coronakrise gekommen. Dazu haben umfangreiche staatliche Hilfsmaßnahmen ebenso beigetragen wie Vorkrisenreformen mit Blick auf Altlasten aus der Euro-Schuldenkrise. Dazu zählen der Abbau notleidender Kredite und der Aufbau von...

Der Mangel an qualifizierten Arbeitskräften lähmt die deutsche Wirtschaft. Besonders betroffen sind Berufe in den Bereichen Sozialarbeit, Erziehung und Pflege. Zudem fehlt viel Personal im Handwerk und bei IT-Experten. Auffällig ist, dass die Berufe mit dem größten Fachkräftemangel ein...

The study estimates the impact of COVID-19 on the labour market outcomes of major industrial sectors in Toronto, the largest urban centre in Canada. Using various economic data, we classify the sectors as distressed, stable, and those requiring ongoing monitoring. Furthermore, we estimate the...

This study clarifies how risks spread across economic sectors and indicates the sectors that are the most affected to help investors with asset allocation and to support them in risk management. Although the Japanese stock market is one of the relatively large global stock markets, no studies...

We propose a new empirical framework that jointly decomposes the conditional variance of economic time series into a common and a sector-specific uncertainty component. We apply our framework to a large dataset of disaggregated industrial production series for the US economy. Our results...

This paper examines how the Covid-19 pandemic affected European trade patterns. Specifically, dynamic panel data models are estimated to assess the effects on exports and imports of various sectors and products (selected on the basis of their trading volume or strategic importance) of the...

The study examines the spillover between Twitter Uncertainty Indexes (TUI) and 10 US sectors. Our methodology is twofold: a time-varying parameter vector autoregression (TVP-VAR) to explore the dynamic connectedness among sectoral returns and a regression, mainly ordinary least squares (OLS) and...

This study examines sectoral productivity differences in Ireland and Northern Ireland and attempts to understand these by identifying the key determinants of productivity in both economies within a causal framework. While some existing studies have compared Northern Ireland's productivity to...

In this paper we propose a novel sectoral taxonomy integrating three different attributes of sectors, namely i) the strategic dimension reflected into their belonging to different classes of the Pavitt taxonomy, ii) the capacity to create jobs both internally and externally with respect to their...

It is unclear how sectoral growth in the agriculture, industrial, and service sectors affects inflation, and the topic is also quite rare. Accordingly, the researchers in this paper examine the long- and short-term effects of agriculture, service, and industry sectors on inflation rates. In...

We give an overview of the "German model" of industrial relations. We organize our review by focusing on the two pillars of the model: sectoral collective bargaining and firm-level codetermination. Relative to the United States, Germany outsources collective bargaining to the sectoral level,...

Using micro-level data from the period 2001-2018, we document the increased digitalisation of the Danish economy and analyse the effect of digitalisation on sectoral and firm performance measured by sales. We introduce two concepts to measure digitalisation. We approximate the degree to which...

This paper evaluates whether the relative concentration of funding for small, research-oriented firms in a small number of high-tech industries is related to the differences across industries in the level of appropriability or capital constraints facing small firms. To do so, we exploit a novel...

This paper assesses the quantitative importance of including sectoral heterogeneity in computing the gains from trade. Our framework draws from Caliendo and Parro (2015) and has sectoral heterogeneity along five dimensions, including the elasticity of trade to trade costs. We estimate the...

We investigate whether a market-clearing model of the labor market is consistent with the cyclical upgrading of labor: workers tend to move to higher paying industries in expansions and to lower paying industries in contractions. By applying Roy's (1951) model of self-selection to industry...

Big G typically refers to aggregate government spending on a homogeneous good. In this paper, we open up this construct by analyzing the entire universe of procurement contracts of the US government and establish five facts. First, government spending is granular, that is, it is concentrated in...
