Abstract From the early 2000s onwards, the rise in net lending of the nonfinancial corporate sector has contributed substantially to the increase in the German current account surplus. The main driving factor behind the development in the nonfinancial corporate sector’s net lending was a rise in savings (retained earnings) while business investment was comparatively stable. To shed light on the determinants of corporate savings, this study presents results from an analysis using firm-level data from the recently developed Bundesbank database Janis. The descriptive analysis suggests that the increase in corporate savings was a widespread development across the corporate sector in Germany. In line with aggregate results, also the median firm saw an increase in profitability while dividends were subdued. Empirical results show that firms with initially higher leverage ratios increased their saving ratios more after the year 2001, providing arguments for a role of a desire to deleverage in explaining increased corporate savings. No (unanimous) evidence is found that increases in uncertainty and market power of firms affect corporate savings positively.
自21世纪初以来,非金融企业部门净贷款的增加对德国经常账户盈余的增加做出了重大贡献。非金融企业部门净贷款增长背后的主要驱动因素是储蓄(留存收益)的增加,而商业投资相对稳定。为了阐明企业储蓄的决定因素,本研究展示了一项分析的结果,该分析使用了最近开发的德国央行数据库Janis中的企业层面数据。描述性分析表明,企业储蓄的增加是德国整个企业部门的普遍发展。与总体结果一致,中位数公司的盈利能力也有所增加,而股息则有所减少。实证结果表明,最初杠杆率较高的公司在2001年后增加了更多的储蓄率,这为去杠杆化的愿望在解释公司储蓄增加方面的作用提供了论据。没有(一致的)证据表明企业不确定性和市场力量的增加对企业储蓄有积极的影响。

Abstract Several recent studies show that market concentration in the US has increased over time, with firm profits increasing in the same period. The consistency of findings from the US is contrasted by more varying results from studies of the development of market concentration in Europe. In this study, we utilise the completeness of Norwegian microdata to investigate how methodological choices and data limitations impact results with respect to the market concentration and its relationship with profitability. First, we find that concentration in Norway has decreased slightly over the last two decades. Over the same period, profitability has increased slightly for two profitability measures and been stable for the other two. Despite a difference in overall trends, at the industry level, we find a positive and statistically significant relationship between concentration and profitability for three out of four profitability measures, in line with the market power hypothesis. Investigating the effect of methodological choices and data limitations, we find that concentration trends are quite robust to exclusion of smaller companies, the incorporation of ownership structures in concentration measures and the choice of industry classification. However, the positive relationship between concentration and profitability is almost non-existent when using readily available industry classification instead of more product market-oriented industry classifications and disappears completely when we do not exclude export-oriented industries. Our study is relevant for future research, as well as for policymakers, as our results indicate that one should be careful when interpreting results from studies of market concentration that fail to handle these methodological challenges.
最近的几项研究表明,美国的市场集中度随着时间的推移而增加,同时公司的利润也在增加。与美国研究结果的一致性形成鲜明对比的是,对欧洲市场集中度发展的研究得出的结果差异更大。在本研究中,我们利用挪威微数据的完整性来调查方法选择和数据限制如何影响市场集中度及其与盈利能力的关系。首先,我们发现挪威的集中度在过去二十年中略有下降。同期,两项盈利指标的盈利能力略有上升,而其他两项则保持稳定。尽管整体趋势有所不同,但在行业层面上,我们发现集中度与盈利能力之间在四项盈利能力指标中有三项具有统计学意义的正相关关系,这与市场力量假设一致。通过研究方法选择和数据限制的影响,我们发现,在排除小公司、在集中度测量中纳入所有权结构和行业分类选择的情况下,集中度趋势相当稳健。然而,当使用现成的行业分类而不是更以产品为导向的行业分类时,集中度与盈利能力之间的正相关关系几乎不存在,当我们不排除出口导向型行业时,集中度与盈利能力之间的正相关关系完全消失。我们的研究与未来的研究以及政策制定者相关,因为我们的结果表明,在解释未能处理这些方法论挑战的市场集中度研究结果时,应该谨慎。

Abstract I introduce a new dataset for research on institutional and individual blockholders in US-listed firms. As of June 2021, the dataset contains 758,666 parsed Form 13D and 13G filings from November 1993 to May 2021, sourced from SEC EDGAR. Due to the semi-structured nature of these filings, a comparable dataset was not available for research before.

Markups and Concentration in the Context of Digitization: Evidence from German Manufacturing Industries 数字化背景下的加价与集中度:来自德国制造业的证据

Abstract Recent empirical studies suggest that there is a rising trend of market power across sectors in advanced economies. We contribute to this line of research by providing industry-specific evidence for German manufacturing industries, based on representative high-quality firm-level data from official statistics that cover firms from all size classes with more than 20 employees (2005–2013). We compare firm-specific markups and industry concentration as market power indicators that reflect a market structure and a performance perspective, respectively. Our results do not suggest an overall average increase in market power in German manufacturing, but increasing markups and an increasing concentration in many industries. We demonstrate the complementarity of the indicators, as predicted by industrial organization theory. We also evaluate the competitive impact of digitization and find no clear evidence that digital transformation and market power go hand in hand.
最近的实证研究表明,发达经济体各部门的市场力量呈上升趋势。我们通过为德国制造业提供特定行业的证据来促进这一研究,这些证据基于官方统计数据中具有代表性的高质量企业层面数据,这些数据涵盖了员工人数超过20人的各种规模的企业(2005-2013年)。我们比较了企业特定加价和行业集中度作为市场力量指标,分别反映了市场结构和绩效视角。我们的结果并不表明德国制造业的市场力量总体平均增加,但在许多行业中,加价和集中度都在增加。我们证明了指标的互补性,正如产业组织理论预测的那样。我们还评估了数字化的竞争影响,发现没有明确的证据表明数字化转型和市场力量是齐头并进的。

Markups for Consumers 消费者加价

Abstract A central motivating factor for studying price markups is their effect on consumer welfare. However, reported estimates of (firm-level) price markups in the literature often focus on industry or cross-country comparisons. These treat different industries equally rather than based on how relevant they are for consumers. We propose markup measures in which firm-level price markups are weighted according to consumption expenditures in the respective industries. Using a concordance table between consumption categories (otherwise used for the calculation of consumer price indices) and a firm’s industry classification, we report results for Germany for the years 2002 through 2016. We find that consumption-weighted price markups are higher and have increased faster than the conventionally reported revenue-weighted markups. We further show that consumption-weighted markups are highest for low-income households, highlighting the potential role of price markups as a contributing factor to changes in inequality in society.
研究加价的一个中心激励因素是加价对消费者福利的影响。然而,文献中报告的(公司层面)价格加价的估计通常集中在行业或跨国比较上。它们平等对待不同的行业,而不是基于它们与消费者的相关性。我们提出加价措施,其中企业层面的价格加价是根据各自行业的消费支出加权的。使用消费类别(否则用于计算消费者价格指数)和公司行业分类之间的一致性表,我们报告了2002年至2016年德国的结果。我们发现,消费加权价格加成比传统报告的收入加权价格加成更高,增长速度更快。我们进一步表明,低收入家庭的消费加权加价最高,突出了价格加价作为社会不平等变化的一个促成因素的潜在作用。

Abstract An original approach to spatial economic analysis is here proposed with reference to Italy. A granularity approach is applied on microdata related to a panel of firms that have been active during 2007–2017. At each firm is therefore associated a coefficient of exposure to the economic cycle of four major foreign economies: Germany, UK, USA, and China. This information is then linked to territorial level and analyzed at two geographical scales: regional and sub-regional. The autocorrelation spatial analysis carried out lead us to appreciate geography of exposure to positive or negative shocks coming from each of the four foreign economies. This geography is very different from the administrative one and can represent a tool for planning future strategies of economic investments and territorial planning.
本文以意大利为例,提出了一种新颖的空间经济分析方法。将粒度方法应用于与2007-2017年期间活跃的一组公司相关的微数据。因此,每家公司都与四个主要外国经济体(德国、英国、美国和中国)的经济周期敞口系数相关联。然后将这些信息与领土一级联系起来,并在两个地理尺度上进行分析:区域和分区域。进行的自相关空间分析使我们能够欣赏来自四个外国经济体的正面或负面冲击的地理暴露。这种地理位置与行政地理位置非常不同,可以作为规划未来经济投资战略和领土规划的工具。

The Macroeconomic Determinants of House Prices and Rents 房价和租金的宏观经济决定因素

Abstract Based on panel error correction models for a sample of up to 21 countries, this paper analyses the macroeconomic determinants of house prices and rents. In accordance with the existing literature, I find significantly positive effects of per capita income and bank lending on house prices, whereas the housing stock per capita and interest rates have negative effects. For rents, the results are somewhat more remarkable, indicating that both the housing stock and interest rates have a negative effect. While contradicting conventional economic theory, the latter finding might be explained by real estate investors exploiting their pricing power with varying degree depending on the level of real interest rates. Moreover, the estimated impact of interest rates on both house prices and rents varies with structural housing market characteristics. For instance, while interest rates have a more pronounced effect on house prices in countries with more developed mortgage markets, the same does not hold for the effect of interest rates on rents.
摘要基于21个国家的面板误差修正模型,本文分析了房价和租金的宏观经济决定因素。根据现有文献,我发现人均收入和银行贷款对房价有显著的正向影响,而人均住房存量和利率对房价有负向影响。对于租金,结果更显着,表明住房存量和利率都有负面影响。虽然与传统的经济理论相矛盾,但后一种发现可以用房地产投资者根据实际利率水平不同程度地利用其定价权来解释。此外,利率对房价和租金的估计影响因住房市场的结构性特征而异。例如,在抵押贷款市场较发达的国家,利率对房价的影响更为明显,但利率对租金的影响却并非如此。

Human Capital and Economic Growth in OECD Countries Revisited: Initial Stock versus Changes in the Stock of Human Capital Effects 人力资本与经合组织国家经济增长的再考察:人力资本效应的初始存量与存量变化

Abstract This paper investigates the effect of human capital on economic growth in OECD countries by focusing on two different channels: (1) absorption of superior technologies, and (2) augmentation of factors of production. One recent empirical study found that in isolation each channel appears insignificant, which implies that estimates that emanate by restrictive specifications that account for only a subset of these channels are likely to suffer from an omitted variable bias. Using an augmented specification (with interaction terms between the initial level of real GDP per capita and the average years of schooling), we find that OECD countries that start with a higher stock of human capital grow faster, which implies that human capital influences economic growth through the first channel only. Our results differ from previous studies (that investigated both channels), which either confirmed the simultaneous (positive or neutral) effect from both channels, or found that only the second channel had an isolated positive effect. We use a broad array of measures as proxies for human capital (six measures for educational attainment, and two measures for health status). We also account for the quality of human capital.
摘要本文从人力资本对经合组织国家经济增长的影响两个不同的渠道(1)吸收优势技术和(2)增加生产要素)进行研究。最近的一项实证研究发现,孤立地来看,每个渠道似乎都不重要,这意味着,仅考虑这些渠道的一个子集的限制性规范所产生的估计可能会受到遗漏变量偏差的影响。使用增强规范(具有初始实际人均GDP水平与平均受教育年限之间的相互作用项),我们发现具有较高人力资本存量的经合组织国家增长更快,这意味着人力资本仅通过第一个渠道影响经济增长。我们的结果不同于之前的研究(调查了两个渠道),这些研究要么证实了两个渠道同时(积极或中性)的影响,要么发现只有第二个渠道有孤立的积极影响。我们使用了一系列广泛的衡量指标作为人力资本的替代指标(6项衡量教育程度的指标和2项衡量健康状况的指标)。我们还考虑了人力资本的质量。

Optimal Price Indexes 最优价格指数
IF 1.3 4区 经济学 Q1 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2021-08-01 DOI: 10.1515/jbnst-2020-0055

Abstract We examine the notion of a price index as the solution to the problem of minimizing the distance between the index values and the vector of price ratios. To do so, the choice of a suitable distance function is of crucial importance. We use a generalized least-squares criterion for this purpose and show that the generalized quasilinear functions are the only solutions to the problem of minimizing the distance thus defined. There are numerous special cases that are obtained for specific choices of the requisite functions and weights. In particular, we show that, in addition to the well-established indexes of Laspeyres, Paasche, Marshall-Edgeworth, Walsh, and Törnqvist, the arithmetic-current-period index, the arithmetic-hybrid index, the harmonic-base-period index, and the harmonic-hybrid index can be obtained with suitably chosen distance functions. Furthermore, the logarithmic least-squares criterion is employed to obtain indexes that are based on geometric means.
摘要:我们研究了价格指数的概念,以解决指标值与价格比率向量之间的距离最小化的问题。为此,选择合适的距离函数至关重要。我们为此目的使用了广义最小二乘准则,并证明了广义拟线性函数是这样定义的距离最小化问题的唯一解。对于必要函数和权重的特定选择,有许多特殊情况。特别地,我们证明,除了Laspeyres, Paasche, Marshall-Edgeworth, Walsh和Törnqvist等已建立的指数外,还可以通过适当选择的距离函数获得算术-当前周期指数,算术-混合指数,谐波-基周期指数和谐波-混合指数。此外,采用对数最小二乘准则获得基于几何均值的指标。

Abstract The aim of the project SOEP-RV is to link data from participants in the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) survey to their individual Deutsche Rentenversicherung (German Pension Insurance) records. For all SOEP respondents who give explicit consent to record linkage, SOEP-RV creates a linked dataset that combines the comprehensive multi-topic SOEP data with detailed cross-sectional and longitudinal data on social security pension records covering the individual’s entire insurance history. This article provides an overview of the record linkage project, highlights potentials for analysis of the linked data, compares key SOEP and pension insurance variables, and suggests a re-weighting procedure that corrects for selectivity. It concludes with details on the process of obtaining the data for scientific use.
摘要SOEP-RV项目的目的是将德国社会经济小组(SOEP)调查参与者的数据与他们的个人德国养老保险记录联系起来。对于所有明确同意记录链接的SOEP受访者,SOEP-RV创建了一个链接数据集,该数据集将全面的多主题SOEP数据与涵盖个人整个保险历史的社会保障养老金记录的详细横截面和纵向数据相结合。本文概述了记录链接项目,强调了分析链接数据的潜力,比较了关键的SOEP和养老保险变量,并提出了一种校正选择性的重新加权程序。最后详细介绍了获取科学使用数据的过程。
