We present the first panel estimates of the productivity effects of the unique German institution of parity, board-level co-determination. Although our data span two severe recessions when labour hoarding costs of co-determination are probably highest, and the panel is too short to capture the...

Green industrial policy is normally conceived as measures to foster the development of new green sectors. This chapter explores the ways in which such sectors can be fostered by disrupting existing polluting sectors. It explores several case studies of this dynamic in action, including fossil...

This research focuses on the behavior of not-for-profit enterprises. In particular, using a familiar model of cost-reducing Ramp;D with spillovers, we examine strategic interactions between labor-managed firms in a duopoly. Research spillovers have not been previously considered in the context...

This article uses a vintage capital theoretical framework to investigate how technological innovations and remanufacturing can affect national and green accounting differently, and how green (Pigouvian) taxes can promote remanufacturing and improve social welfare, in agreement with circular...

Planet Earth, with its plethora of natural (im)balances, has a venerable age of 4.54 billion years; the (industrial) imprint placed by the human species on it, considered to be not negligible, counts of just little over two centuries; while the digital/IT&C/virtual existence of man, in what we...

We develop a dynamic general equilibrium integrated assessment model that incorporates costs due to new technology adoption in renewable energy as well as externalities associated with carbon emissions and renewable technology spillovers. We use world economy data to calibrate our model and...
