Die Diskussion dieser Variablen soll zun{\"a}chst im Rahmen eines Standardmodells der Stadt{\"o}konomie erfolgen. Dabei zeigt sich ein eindeutiges Ergebnis: Jene Haushalte, f{\"u}r die die Freizeit einen hohen Nutzen stiftet, siedeln sich am Stadtzentrum an. Danach wenden wir uns der Empirie zu. Am Beispiel Potsdams soll das tats{\"a}chliche Siedlungsverhalten der Haushalte aufgezeigt werden. Der Vergleich der Modellergebnisse mit den empirischen Befunden verdeutlicht zum einen, daß die Modelle vermutlich wesentliche Einflußgr{\"o}ßen, die das Siedlungsverhalten bestimmen, nicht erfassen. Zum anderen zeigen die empirischen Ergebnisse die große Bedeutung der singul{\"a}ren, einer allgemeinen Theorie prinzipiell nicht zug{\"a}nglichen Einfl{\"u}sse auf die Zusammensetzung und Verteilung der Wohnbev{\"o}lkerung.}, language = {de} } @techreport{Eickhof2003, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Eickhof, Norbert}, title = {Freiwillige Selbstverpflichtungen aus wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Sicht}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14004}, year = {2003}, abstract = {Inhalt 1 Gegenstand der Untersuchung 2 SV aus wirtschaftstheoretischer Sicht:(neoklassische) Umwelt{\"o}konomik 3 SV aus wirtschaftspolitischer Sicht:(ordoliberale) ordnungspolitische Aspekte 4 SV aus empirischer Sicht 5 Realit{\"a}tsbezogene Probleme und L{\"o}sungsans{\"a}tze 6 Realit{\"a}tsn{\"a}here Analyse der Effektivit{\"a}t, Effizienz undWettbewerbskonformit{\"a}t von SV 7 Realit{\"a}tsn{\"a}here Analyse der ordnungspolitischen Aspekte 8 Kriterien erfolgreicher SV 9 Aktuelle Problematik: SV versus Emissionsrechtehandel}, language = {de} } @techreport{Strecker1999, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Strecker, Daniel}, title = {Forschungs- und Technologiepolitik im Standortwettbewerb}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-13576}, year = {1999}, abstract = {Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.

This paper analyzes whether the three aspects involving innovative activity - R\&D; innovative output; and productivity - hold for knowledge intensive services. Combining the models of Crepon et al. (1998) and of Ackerberg et al. (2015), allows for causal interpretation of the relationship between innovation output and labor productivity. We find that knowledge intensive services benefit from innovation activities in the sense that these activities causally increase their labor productivity.

It is thus a crucial factor for entrepreneurs when pursuing and exploiting their business opportunities and to realize potential economic gains and benefits. Using rich data on a representative sample of German business founders, we investigate the determinants of entrepreneurial persistence. Next to observed survival we also construct a hybrid persistence measure capturing also the motivational dimension of persistence. We analyze the influence of individual-level (human capital and personality) and business-related characteristics on both measures as well as their relative importance. We find that the two indicators emphasize different aspects of persistence. For the survival indicator, the predictive power is concentrated in business characteristics and human capital, while for hybrid persistence, the dominant factors are business characteristics and personality. Finally, we show that results are heterogeneous across subgroups. In particular, formerly-unemployed founders do not differ in survival chances, but they are more likely to lack a high psychological commitment to their business ventures.}, language = {en} } @techreport{KellnerAmbergBergmannetal.2022, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Kellner, Maximilian and Amberg, Maximilian and Bergmann, Tobias and Roolfs, Christina and Kalkuhl, Matthias}, title = {Entlastungspakete f{\"u}r Energiepreisanstiege}, publisher = {Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) gGmbH}, address = {Berlin}, doi = {10.5281/zenodo.6617130}, pages = {23}, year = {2022}, language = {de} } @techreport{Sanner2001, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Sanner, Helge}, title = {Endogenous unemployment insurance and regionalisation}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-13761}, year = {2001}, abstract = {Our analysis is concerned with the impact of a regionalisation of unemployment insurance (UI) on workers' preferences, on firms' profits, and on effciency.

We develop a relatively general model of heterogenous firms' location choice in discrete space. The main force towards an agglomerated structure is the reduction of transaction costs for consumers if firms are located closely, whilst competition and transport costs work towards a more disperse structure. We then assess the importance of the initial conditions by simulating and comparing the resulting distribution of firms for identical economic parameters but varying initial settings. If the equilibrium distributions of firms are similar we conclude that economic forces have prevailed, while differences in the resulting distributions indicate that 'history' is more important. The (dis)similarity of distributions of firms is calculated by means of a measure, which exhibits a number of desirable features.}, language = {en} } @techreport{Holzer2004, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Holzer, Verena Le{\"i}la}, title = {Ecological objectives and the energy sector}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14054}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Table of contents 1 Introduction 2 Ecological regulation and cost effectiveness 2.1 Climate policy 2.2 Promotion of renewable energies 3 Ecological regulation and security of supply 3.1 Climate policy 3.2 Promotion of renewable energies 4 The German Renewable Energies Act (EEG) 4.1 Objectives 4.2 Design and mechanisms 5 The European emissions trading system (EETS) 5.1 Objectives 5.2 Framework 6 The EEG and the EETS: trade off between ecological objectivesand cost effectiveness, innovation and security of supply? 6.1 EEG 6.2 EETS 6.3 Comparison between the approaches of the EEG and the EETS 7 Conclusions and outlook}, language = {en} } @techreport{Holzer2004, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Holzer, Verena Le{\"i}la}, title = {Does the german renewable energies act fulfil sustainable development objectives?}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-14189}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Table of contens 1 Introduction 2 The concept of sustainability 2.1 Ecological sustainability 2.2 Social sustainability 2.3 Economic sustainability 2.4 The sustainability strategy of the german government 3 Effects of energy use on the enviromment 4 Requirements of the SSGG for energy policy 4.1 Ecological implications of thr SSGG 4.2 Social and economic requirements of the SSGG 5 The German Renewable Energies Act 5.1 Objectives 5.2 Design and mechanisms 5.3 Fees-in tariffs 6 Does the EEG meet the sustainability requirements of the SSGG? 6.1 Management rules 6.2 Social sustainability 6.3 Economic sustainability 6.4 Development tendencis 7 Possible amendments for more sustainability 7.1 Changing the promotional system 7.2 A European regulation}, language = {en} }
