CO2 Abatement from Renewable Energy Injections in the German Electricity Sector

web.mit.edu –

The overlapping impact of the Emission Trading System (ETS) and renewable energy (RE) deployment targets creates a classic case of interaction effects. Whereas the price interaction is widely recognized and has been thoroughly discussed, the effect of an overlapping instrument on the abatement attributable to an instrument has gained little attention. This paper estimates the actual reduction in demand for European Union Allowances that has occurred due to RE deployment focusing on the German more...

Al valor la competitividad en la homologación de los salarios manufactureros de los países europeos (total de costos de compensación por hora) para trabajadores de línea de producción (LP) en paridades de poder compra (PPCs), con salarios equivalentes de EUA, la mayoría de los países perdieron terreno en 2009 en relación con su posición en 2007.

TABLE T4*: 1975–2009 REAL-WAGE GAPS FOR EUROPEAN ECONOMIES, IN PURCHASING POWER PARITY (PPP) TERMS, FOR PRODUCTION-LINE MANUFACTURING WORKERS. *(The pivot table used for all PPP real-wage gap analysis)

jussemper.org –

In assessing the competitiveness in the equalisation of European countries’ manufacturing wages (total hourly compensation costs) for production line (PL) workers –in purchasing power parity (PPP) terms– with equivalent U.S. wages, most countries lost ground in 2009 relative to their 2007 position. Only Switzerland was able to increase its advantage while Italy and Austria were able to sustain it. Most Euro countries lost some ground, despite a small currency revaluation, for nominal wages grew more...

Fighting Youth Unemployment

ftp.iza.org –

A substantial number of young unemployed participate in active labor market programs (ALMP) in Germany each year. While the aims of these programs are clear – a fast reintegration into employment or enrollment in further education – a comprehensive analysis of their effectiveness has yet to be conducted. The authors fill this gap using administrative data on youth unemployment entries in 2002 and analyze the short- and long-term impacts for a variety of different programs. The results indicate more...

Youth unemployment in Spain: causes and solutions

bbvaresearch.com –

Youth unemployment in Spain is a persistent phenomenon that has worsened during the current crisis. And at the levels now being registered (46.1% in 2Q11), the measures to fight it can be delayed no longer. The evidence presented in this document indicates that there are serious shortcomings in Spain's education system and labor market, which explain the country's relatively high level of youth unemployment. The former include early school leaving and the imbalance between job supply and demand more...

Taxing Childcare

ftp.iza.org –

Previous studies report a wide range of estimates for how female labor supply responds to childcare prices. This paper sheds new light on this question using a reform that raised the prices of public daycare. Parents respond by reducing public daycare and increasing childcare at home. Parents also reduce informal childcare indicating that public daycare and informal childcare are complements. Female labor force participation declines and the response is strongest for single parents and more...

International Trade and Collective Bargaining Outcomes

cesifo-group.de –

In theoretical trade models with variable markups and collective wage bargaining, export exposure may reduce the exporter wage premium. In this paper, the authors test this prediction using linked German employer-employee data from 1996 to 2007. To separate the rent-sharing mechanism from assortative matching, they exploit individual worker information to construct profitability measures that are free of skill composition. It is found that rent-sharing is less pronounced in more export more...
