The well-being costs of energy poverty : the role of affective channels

Asane-Otoo, Emmanuel; Asare, Abigail O. - 2026

This paper examines the impact of energy poverty on subjective well-being in Germany using longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) over the period 2010-2023. Exploiting within-individual variation, we estimate fixed-effects models using objective, subjective, and composite...

Beyond GDP and life expectancy : welfare comparisons across the Atlantic

Da Costa, Shaun - 2026 - Version 2

Prior studies assessing welfare across countries have utilised measures that combine country-level outcomes in income and life expectancy. However, this perspective remains blind to the fact that two countries may have the same life expectancy and/or average income but very different underlying...

Moving beyond Time Poverty : Measuring Women’s and Men’s Time-Use Agency

Daum, Thomas; Kilic, Talip; Koolwal, Gayatri; Seymour, Greg - 2026

Economic research on time use has traditionally focused on the total time individuals spend across different activities. However, less is known about time-use agency, or the ability to make strategic choices on allocating one’s time. This paper presents the findings from a novel,...

On the (mis)use of composite indices : with applications in political economy

Millimet, Daniel L.; Paloyo, Alfredo R. - 2026

Empirical researchers often replace latent constructs with composite indices, treating this as a neutral data-processing step. We prove this is a consequential identification choice. Our (near) impossibility theorem demonstrates that no linear index can guarantee consistent estimates of all...

Recent work in economics has developed survey-based measures of economic preferences that are "experimentally" or "behaviorally validated." We scrutinize this approach focusing on the Global Preference Survey (Falk et al., 2018, 2023). Replicating their behavioral validation on almost 2,000...

How do macroprudential measures affect mortgage lending standards? : evidence from the ECB's Bank Lending Survey

Using information from the ECB's Bank Lending Survey, we examine how the implementation of borrower-based macroprudential measures (BBMs) between 2009-Q1 and 2023-Q3 affected mortgage lending standards in a sample of 15 euro area countries. We find that banks generally tightened credit standards...
