Christian Krekel Dissertation.Pdf Paris School of Economics { Ecole´ des Hautes Etudes´ en Sciences Sociales Evaluating the Non-Monetary Impacts of Major Events, Infrastructure, and Institutions submitted by Christian Krekel, MSc in Economics for obtaining the degree of PhD in Economics London, June 23, 2017 Acknowledgments First, and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Claudia Senik: I benefited a lot from her advice and support, and she has considerably shaped my academic interests, aspirations, and achievements. She has also made my transfer to the Paris School of Economics possible, and in doing so, has considerably shaped my professional path. I cannot thank her enough. I would like to give a special thanks to Andrew Clark, who was very supportive in this transfer, and who was always there for good advice. Clearly, without him, my later transfer to the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics would not have been possible either. In this respect, I also have to thank Gert Wagner for his support, and for always giving me the freedom to pursue my own path. I am similarly thankful to Helmut Luetkepohl. It is hard to describe in words how valuable Nicolas Ziebarth's input over the years was: he was always there when I had questions (there was no e-mail left unanswered, and most of them were answered within 24 hours), and he has been a great mentor, in many ways. I would also like to thank Paul Dolan and Georgios Kavetsos, who I enjoyed working with very much, and who made my research stay in the Department of Social Policy at the London School of Economics possible. The Paris School of Economics, London School of Economics, and German Institute for Economic Research provided excellent research environments. The research infrastructure department German Socio-Economic Panel at the latter was particularly stimulating, and I am indebted to its director, Juergen Schupp, for his support over the years. A big thanks goes to Stephen Gibbons and Katrin Rehdanz, who were so kind to be my external examiners. During my thesis, I made a lot of new acquaintances, many of whom have become friends, especially colleagues from the 2011 cohort in the Graduate Center at the German Institute for Economic Research. Here, I would like to mention in particular Sarah Dahmann and Ste- fan Seifert. I would also like to thank my co-authors who worked with me on the different chapters of this dissertation (Jan Goebel, Jens Kolbe, Dimitris Mavridis, Robert Metcalfe, Ste- fan Szymanski, Tim Tiefenbach, Henry Wuestemann, Alexander Zerrahn), friends who gave valuable input (Daniel Kemptner, Christopher Wratil), as well as participants in seminars and i ii conferences who gave valuable comments and suggestions. Last, but not least, I dedicate this dissertation to my parents, Herta Wagner-Krekel and Klaus Dieter Krekel, who always supported me (not least logistically during my many moves), and who were always there when I needed them. Thank you, and apologies to all the people I forgot to mention explicitly. iii Table of Contents List of Tables viii List of Figures xiv List of Abbreviations xvii 0 Introduction 1 0.1 Preliminary Remarks . .1 0.2 A Walk Through the Chapters . .3 0.3 Brief Overview . 11 1 The Fukushima Daiichi Meltdown 15 1.1 Introduction . 16 1.2 Literature Review . 19 1.3 Data . 22 1.4 Empirical Model and Identification . 26 1.5 Results . 32 1.6 Discussion and Conclusion . 60 1.7 Appendix . 63 1.8 Online Appendix . 67 2 Urban Land Use 85 2.1 Introduction . 86 2.2 Data . 89 2.3 Empirical Model . 95 2.4 Results . 98 2.5 Policy Implications . 111 iv TABLE OF CONTENTS v 2.6 Discussion . 113 2.7 Online Appendix . 116 3 Wind Turbines 125 3.1 Introduction . 126 3.2 Literature Review . 128 3.3 Data . 130 3.4 Empirical Model . 132 3.5 Results . 139 3.6 Discussion . 154 3.7 Conclusion . 156 3.8 Online Appendix . 158 4 The Olympic Games 193 4.1 Introduction . 194 4.2 Data . 197 4.3 Empirical Strategy . 200 4.4 Baseline Results . 203 4.5 Robustness . 210 4.6 Heterogeneity . 215 4.7 Legacy . 219 4.8 Conclusion . 219 4.9 Appendix: Descriptive Statistics . 224 4.10 Appendix: Attrition . 230 4.11 Appendix: Additional Figures . 234 5 Instructional Time 237 5.1 Introduction . 238 5.2 Data . 243 5.3 Empirical Strategy . 248 5.4 Results . 256 5.5 Discussion and Policy Implications . 279 5.6 Online Appendix . 283 6 Conclusion 301 6.1 Preliminary Remarks . 301 vi TABLE OF CONTENTS 6.2 Wrap Up . 301 Bibliography 309 vii List of Tables 0.1 Overview . 12 1.1 Effects of the Meltdown and the Permanent Shutdown on Environmental Con- cerns in Germany . 39 1.2 Effects on Alternative Well-Being Measures in Germany . 40 1.3 Effects on Risk Aversion in Germany . 41 1.4 Effects on Environmental Concerns by Distance to Reactors in Germany . 42 1.5 Effects on Risk Aversion by Distance to Reactors in Germany . 43 1.6 Effects on Life Satisfaction by Distance to Reactors in Germany . 44 1.7 Effects on Environmental Concerns by Sociodemographics in Germany . 48 1.8 Effects on Political Outcomes in Germany . 49 1.9 Effects of the Meltdown on Well-Being, Political Outcomes, and Environmental Concerns in Switzerland . 52 1.10 Effects of the Meltdown on Well-Being and Political Outcomes in the UK . 53 1.11 Comparison of Meltdown and (Placebo) Policy Effects Between Fukushima and Chernobyl . 58 1.12 Descriptive Statistics { Germany (SOEP) . 63 1.13 Descriptive Statistics { Switzerland (SHP) . 65 1.14 Descriptive Statistics { UK (Understanding Society) . 66 1.15 Balancing Properties between Treatment and Control Group, 2010{2011, Germany 68 1.16 Balancing Properties between Treatment and Control Group, 2009{2012, Switzer- land ........................................... 69 1.17 Balancing Properties Between Treatment and Control Group, 2010{2012, UK . 70 1.18 Determinants of Environmental Concerns . 71 1.19 Effects on Environmental Concerns in Germany (Robustness Checks I) . 72 1.20 Effects on Environmental Concerns in Germany (Robustness Checks II) . 73 viii LIST OF TABLES ix 1.21 Effects on Environmental Concerns in Germany (Robustness Checks III) . 74 1.22 Placebo Dates and Placebo Concerns in Germany . 75 1.23 Placebo Policy Dates in Germany . 76 1.24 Effects on Risk Aversion in Germany . 77 1.25 Effects on Environmental Concerns in Germany in a Pure RD Design . 78 1.26 Effects on Life Satisfaction in Germany (Richter et al.

  • Long Term Regional Disparities [PDF, 53
    BASIC STRUCTURES IN EUROPE AND GERMANY – LONG TERM REGIONAL DISPARITIES Professor Lothar EICHHORN Statistical Office of Lower Saxony, Germany Summary A. The Statistical Office of Lower Saxony has, since 1998, been calculating, on an annual basis, poverty and wealth rates in the Bundesland of Lower Saxony on the basis of the microcensus, whereby net equivalent incomes are calculated using graded income data for various types of household. The threshold values for poverty and wealth have, since 1998, been 50% and 200% respectively of the net equivalent income. However, there has always been a need for more detailed regional data, as Lower Saxony (a NUTS I region) covers a very varied territory, ranging from dynamically growing areas in the west to areas with shrinking economies in the south and east. There are very wealthy areas, mainly around the big cities, and – at least by German standards – rather poor ones. For this reason, the last calculation, for 2004, was also carried out for the 11 regional conversion strata in the Land microcensus – these are larger regions or combinations of several smaller NUTS III regions. The question arose as to which average to use for calculating the poverty threshold. The average income in Germany, in Lower Saxony or in the region in question? This is important, since there are considerable regional income disparities, as the following table shows. In the table, the poverty rate is calculated on the basis of the relevant regional ("regional concept") or national ("national concept") average income. Ostfriesland Lower Saxony Germany Net equivalent 1032 € 1145 € 1150 € income 2004 Poverty rate 12.7 % 14.5 % 14.5 % "regional concept" Poverty rate "national 19.0 % 14.7 % 14.5 % concept" If the poverty rate in Ostfriesland is calculated using the regional average, it is the lowest in Lower Saxony, but if it is calculated on the basis of the German average income, it is the highest in Lower Saxony.

  • Inference Under Superspreading: Determinants of SARS-Cov-2 Transmission in Germany
    Inference under Superspreading: Determinants of SARS-CoV-2 Transmission in Germany Patrick Schmidt University of Zurich E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Superspreading complicates the study of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. I propose a model for aggregated case data that accounts for superspreading and improves statistical inference. In a Bayesian framework, the model is estimated on German data featuring over 60,000 cases with date of symptom onset and age group. Several factors were associated with a strong reduction in transmission: public awareness rising, testing and tracing, information on local incidence, and high temperature. Immunity after infection, school and restaurant closures, stay-at-home orders, and mandatory face covering were associated with a smaller reduction in transmission. The data suggests that public distancing rules increased trans- mission in young adults. Information on local incidence was associated with a reduction in transmission of up to 44% (95%-CI: [40%, 48%]), which suggests a prominent role of be- havioral adaptations to local risk of infection. Testing and tracing reduced transmission by 15% (95%-CI: [9%,20%]), where the effect was strongest among the elderly. Extrapolating weather effects, I estimate that transmission increases by 53% (95%-CI: [43%, 64%]) in colder seasons. arXiv:2011.04002v1 [stat.AP] 8 Nov 2020 1 Introduction At the point of writing this article, the world records a million deaths associated with Covid-19 and over 30 million people have tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Societies around the world have responded with unprecedented policy interventions and changes in behavior. The reduction of transmission has arisen as a dominant strategy to prevent direct harm from the newly emerged virus.

  • The Spatial and Temporal Diffusion of Agricultural Land Prices
    The Spatial and Temporal Diffusion of Agricultural Land Prices M. Ritter; X. Yang; M. Odening Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Agricultural Economics, Germany Corresponding author email: [email protected] Abstract: In the last decade, many parts of the world experienced severe increases in agricultural land prices. This price surge, however, did not take place evenly in space and time. To better understand the spatial and temporal behavior of land prices, we employ a price diffusion model that combines features of market integration models and spatial econometric models. An application of this model to farmland prices in Germany shows that prices on a county-level are cointegrated. Apart from convergence towards a long- run equilibrium, we find that price transmission also proceeds through short-term adjustments caused by neighboring regions. Acknowledegment: Financial support from the China Scholarship Council (CSC NO.201406990006) and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) through Research Unit 2569 “Agricultural Land Markets – Efficiency and Regulation” is gratefully acknowledged. The authors also thank Oberer Gutachterausschuss für Grundstückswerte in Niedersachsen (P. Ache) for providing the data used in the analysis.

Archaeological Studies in Southern Germany Abstract: The formation of villages and the introduction of systematic three-field crop rotation transformed the landscape of western central Europe in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. These processes have often been seen as an important progress of the medieval agriculture. This paper examines these developments from the per- spective of human ecology. There is some evidence to suggest a connection between village formation and the transformation of the cultural landscape in the High Middle Ages on the one hand and the Black Death in the late Middle Ages on the other. Recent archeological data suggests that these changes to the cultural landscape were in fact major factors in or preconditions for the fourteenth-century crisis.

  • RP325 Cohn Marion R.Pdf
    The Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People Jerusalem (CAHJP) PRIVATE COLLECTION MARION R. COHN – P 325 Xeroxed registers of birth, marriage and death Marion Rene Cohn was born in 1925 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and raised in Germany and Romania until she immigrated to Israel (then Palestine) in 1940 and since then resided in Tel Aviv. She was among the very few women who have served with Royal British Air Forces and then the Israeli newly established Air Forces. For many years she was the editor of the Hasade magazine until she retired at the age of 60. Since then and for more than 30 years she has dedicated her life to the research of German Jews covering a period of three centuries, hundreds of locations, thousands of family trees and tens of thousands of individuals.
