We propose an approach to measuring the misallocation of production in a market that compares actual industry cost curves to undistorted (counterfactual) supply curves. As compared to traditional, TFPR-based, misallocation measures, this approach leverages cost data, such that results are...

Die Durchführung technischer Produktänderungen wird für Automobilzulieferer zu einem zentralen Erfolgsfaktor. Für die Preisfestsetzung ist es dabei essentiell, dass frühzeitig alle mit dem Projekt verbundenen Kosten bekannt sind. Für die Prognose indirekter Änderungskosten existieren...

Anhand vorhandener Daten der Gebäude von Baden-Württemberg werden die Potenziale zur Stromerzeugung auf Gebäudedächern mittels Photovoltaik ermittelt. In Kosten- Potenzial-Kurven werden sie dann mit den entsprechenden Stromgestehungskosten aufgetragen. Dies erfolgt zunächst für das Jahr...

Petrochemicals play a vital role in the economy. The products of the industry are the building blocks in many industries including polymers, synthetic rubber, synthetic fibres, fibre intermediates and basic chemicals. The industry uses a variety of hydrocarbon feedstock such as different cuts of...

This paper studies how increases in energy input costs for production are split between consumers and producers via changes in product prices (i.e., pass-through). We show that in markets characterized by imperfect competition, marginal cost pass-through, a demand elasticity, and a price-cost...

Die deutsche Bundesregierung hat das Ziel ausgegeben, bis zum Jahr 2020 einen Bestand von einer Million Elektrofahrzeugen in der deutschen Fahrzeugflotte zu erreichen. Bis zum Jahr 2030 soll der Bestand bis auf sechs Millionen Elektrofahrzeuge ansteigen. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird im Rahmen...

Recent theoretical research shows that exporters are more productive than nonexporters. We show that this result holds almost trivially for the case of constant marginal cost of production, as mainly assumed in the literature, but it may not hold true if the marginal cost is not constant. Our...

We propose a new methodology for estimating the demand and cost functions of differentiated products models when demand and cost data are available. The method deals with the endogeneity of prices to demand shocks and the endogeneity of outputs to cost shocks, but does not require instruments...

The article studies practical aspects of internal production cost control organization in meat production. Purpose of the study is to give recommendations as to set-up of efficient internal cost control in view of organization- and process-related features of meat production. Authors made...

We study a sequential screening problem where the agent produces an object consisting of multiple items and has a multidimensional type that he learns over time. Depending on the strength of complementarity/substitutability of the items, the optimal allocation features a different pattern of...
