The virtuous cycle between skills and technology

Becker, Sascha O.; Dustmann, Christian; Ku, Hyejin - 2026

We examine the long-term labor market impact of the steam engine, an early general-purpose technology, by linking newly digitized 19th-century records from Prussia to modern German labor market data (1975-2019). Regions with a higher concentration of steam engines per worker in 1875 exhibit...

From chalkboards to steam engines : early adoption of compulsory schooling, innovation, and industrialization

Cinnirella, Francesco; Harka, Elona - 2025

Empirical evidence on the historical role of Compulsory Schooling Laws (CSL) for the spread of mass education is mixed at best. This is also due to the difficulty of identifying exogenous variation in the application of CSL. We exploit an almost unique feature of a CSL in 1877 Italy which was...

Optimizing the use of limited amounts of hydrogen in existing combined heat and power plants

Wiegner, J. F.; Sürken, N.; Neuhäuser, R.; Gibescu, G.; … - 2025

Combined cycle (CC) plants are expected to play an important role in balancing generation of heat and electricity from non-dispatchable renewable energy sources. In this work, we study different retrofit options for using hydrogen in CC plants to reduce the plant's CO2 emissions. These options...
