This paper discusses a model of vertical and horizontal product differentiation within the Dixit-Stiglitz framework of monopolistic competition. Firms compete not only in prices and horizontal attributes of their products, but also in the quality that can be controlled by R&D activities. Based upon the results of a general equilibrium model, intra-sectoral trade and the welfare implications of public intervention in terms of research promotion are considered. The analysis involves a numerical application to ten basic European industries.
Bei den Statistischen Ämtern des Bundes und der Länder und im Institut für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung der Bundesagentur für Arbeit werden zahlreiche Daten für Unternehmen bzw. Betriebe gesammelt und aufbereitet. Durch das Unternehmensregister ist bei den Statistischen Ämtern eine "Masterdatei" entstanden, die es technisch möglich macht, Unternehmensdaten aus den Beständen der genannten und weiteren Institutionen zusammenzuführen. Das Projekt KombiFiD – Kombinierte Firmendaten für Deutschland soll zeigen, dass ausgewählte Datenbestände tatsächlich über die Grenzen der jeweiligen Datenproduzenten zusammengeführt und der Wissenschaft zur Verfügung gestellt werden können, und es soll gleichzeitig demonstrieren, dass das Analysepotenzial dieser kombinierten Datensätze sehr viel höher ist als das der einzelnen Bestandteile. Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt die Konzeption dieses Projekts und das geplante Vorgehen vor.
This paper analyzes, within a regional growth model, the impact of productive governmental policy and integration on the spatial distribution of economic activity. Integration is understood as enhancing territorial cooperation between the regions, and it describes the extent to which one region may benefit from the other region’s public input, e.g. the extent to which regional road networks are connected. Both integration and the characteristics of the public input crucially affect whether agglomeration arises and if so to which extent economic activity is concentrated: As a consequence of enhanced integration, agglomeration is less likely to arise and concentration will be lower. Relative congestion reinforces agglomeration, thereby increasing equilibrium concentration. Due to the congestion externalities, the market outcome ends up in suboptimally high concentration.
Recent discussions about the evolvement of nanotechnologies criticize that the notion ‘risk’ is too abstract and an all-inclusive category. Moreover, the concept of risk is not precise enough to describe the potential issues related to the development of nanotechnologies. Instead, experts of technological development speak more about risk communication. Within the field of nanotechnologies, they even redefined this expression in February 2005 and related it to the question of the societal acceptance of nanotechnologies. Risk communication is about to gain stakeholder acceptance of policy decisions, whereas public and stakeholders are encouraged to participate actively in the communication process through public consultations, hearings, etc. Thus on the one hand, the category of risk has been pragmatically nuanced in order to better highlight the vulnerability of the communication on nanotechnologies. On the other hand, this vulnerable communication is not the result of a deficit of information. It is based on the idea of participation, where the vulnerability relies on the social groups specialized in the design, the application, and the diffusion of nanotechnologies within society. How is this participation possible, and what does it mean? We develop this question in the framework of a comparative survey on experts that are involved in the deployment of nanotechnologies in Grenoble (France) and Hamburg (Germany).
Reviewing the development of network access charges in the German electricity market since 2002 reveals significant variation. While some firms continually increased or decreased their access charges, a variety of firms exhibited discontinuous behavior with price changes in both directions. From an economic viewpoint this price setting turbulence is astonishing because grid operators are non-contestable natural monopolists, which in this time period were regulated by Negotiated Third Party Access (NTPA). Depending on the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of NTPA, expected behavior would be either regulated average cost prices or monopoly prices, but not the observed turbulence. Although in 2005 NTPA scheme was replaced by a Regulated Third Party Access (RTPA) scheme with a regulator, an analysis of the factors influencing the price setting behavior within this period offers valuable information for the new regulator and the still discussed new incentive regulation, which is expected to start in 2009. Using multivariate estimations based on firm data covering the years 2000-2005, we test the hypotheses that asymmetric influence of regulatory threat, different cost and price calculation knowledge, strategic use of structural features and the obligation to publish specific access charges have influenced the electricity network access charges in Germany.
Agro-biodiversity can provide natural insurance to risk averse farmers. We employ a conceptual ecological-economic model to analyze the choice of agrobiodiversity by risk averse farmers who have access to financial insurance. We study the implications for individually and socially optimal agro-ecosystem management and policy design when on-farm agro-biodiversity, through ecosystem processes at higher hierarchical levels, generates a positive externality on other farmers. We show that for the individual farmer natural insurance from agro-biodiversty and financial insurance are substitutes. While an improved access to financial insurance leads to lower agro-biodiversity, the e_ects on the market failure problem (due to the external benefits of on-farm agro-biodiversity) and on welfare are determined by properties of the agro-ecosystem and agro-biodiversity’s external benefits. We derive a specific condition on agro-ecosystem functioning under which, if financial insurance becomes more accessible, welfare in the absence of regulation increases or decreases.
This paper aims to determine if the contingent valuation method (CVM) can provide valid results useful in policy-making. This will be investigated by using a CV study that captures the willingness to pay (WTP) for the municipal cultural supply in Lueneburg, Germany. In contrast to previous CV studies that included a wide range of descriptive statistics, the empirical analysis of the current study focuses on multivariate analysis to explore the factors associated with the WTP. The results reflect current hypotheses in cultural economics. Thus, higher education levels and higher income are positively correlated with higher WTP. While the results indicate a highly significant impact of non-use values on the WTP for cultural goods across the different regression models, the findings for some variables differ considerably in magnitude across different regression models.
Gemäß Betriebsverfassungsgesetz müssen in Deutschland Betriebe ab einer bestimmten Größe Betriebsräte von ihrer beruflichen Tätigkeit freistellen. Anhand einer Vollerhebung aller betroffenen Betriebe wird in dieser Arbeit der Frage nachgegangen, ob die (mit Kosten verbundene) Freistellung des ersten Betriebsratsmitglieds eine bremsende Wirkung auf die Beschäftigungsdynamik von Betrieben hat. Weiterhin wird untersucht, ob die im Juli 2001 erfolgte Herabsetzung des Schwellenwerts von 300 auf 200 Arbeitnehmer zu einer Veränderung des Beschäftigungswachstums von Betrieben an diesen Schwellen geführt hat. Sowohl deskriptive als auch die ökonometrische Analysen deuten darauf hin, dass weder die alte noch die neue Freistellungsschwelle einen Einfluss auf das Beschäftigungswachstum von Betrieben hatte. Gleiches gilt für die gesetzliche Änderung des Schwellenwerts.
