  Gross Output Production Function Estimation

  The paper presented in this PRICE Seminar develops a novel method to estimate production functions. Earlier papers rely on special assumptions about the functional form of production functions. The [...] performance and test their approach on empirical data from Chilean and Colombian manufacturing industries.

  Refereed Journal - Reversing fortunes of German regions, 1926–2019: Boon and bane of early industrialization?

  This paper shows that nineteenth-century industrialization is an essential determinant of the pronounced changes in economic prosperity across German regions over the last 100 years. Using novel data on [...] that early industrialization created a lopsided economic structure dominated by large firms, which reduced adaptive capacity and local innovation. The (time-varying) effect of industrialization explains [...] 1926 and 2019. Exploiting plausibly exogenous variation in access to coal, we show that early industrialization led to a massive decline in the per capita income rank after World War II, as it turned from

  Exploring Global Embodied Emissions of Digital Technologies Using Input-Output Data Accounting for Total Digital Demand

  classical Leontief approach by considering digital demand in other industries, they show that the joint climate impact of these industries in 2021 is 2.1 Gt CO2e (4.1 % of global greenhouse gas emissions) [...] The paper presented in this ZEW Research Seminar leverages input-output analysis using FIGARO data to firstly shed comprehensive light on the embodied climate impact of digital technologies between

  How Do Think Tanks Work?

  advising, but always try to keep a foot in science. That’s why it’s often researchers who write the papers. But their primary goal is to influence policy rather than conduct research. In Germany, research [...] includes us all and is represented by a multitude of voices. I think it’s absolutely acceptable if an industry raises concerns and states that a measure hurts its members. This is lobbyism and frowned upon,

  The Death and Life of Great British Cities

  The paper presented in this Mannheim Applied Seminar studies how cities’ industrial structure shapes their life and death. The authors‘ analysis exploits the large heterogeneity in the early composition [...] the causal impact of cities’ population and industrial specialization on their later dynamics. They find that cities specializing in a small number of industries decline in the long run. The authors develop [...] explaining the distribution of economic activity across industries and cities. Intertemporally, the model can disentangle the role of aggregate industry dynamics from city-specific externalities. They find

  ZEW Discussion Paper - Industry-Science-Interaction in Innovation: The Role of Transfer Channels and Policy Support

  We investigate the effects of different channels of industry-science collaboration on new product sales at the firm-level and whether government subsidies for collaboration make a difference. We distinguish [...] Innovation Survey and a conditional difference-in-differences methodology, we find a positive effect of industry-science collaboration on product innovation success only for joint R&D, but not for the other

  Industrial and Trade Policy in Supply Chains The Case of Rare Earth Elements

  Industrial policies, traditionally aimed at boosting the competitiveness of protected sectors, can inadvertently drive productivity growth in downstream sectors abroad. The paper presented in this [...] and the green transformation. To measure the importance of rare earth inputs across manufacturing industries, the authors construct an input-output table that incorporates individual rare earth elements as [...] develop a trade model with directed technical change that explains these findings, showing that industrial policy can shift the direction of innovation and drive growth in downstream sectors abroad when
