    <summary type="text">Title: Unions and collective bargaining in Sub-Saharan Africa: Some insights from quantitative studies
Authors: Jirjahn, Uwe
Abstract: This article reviews quantitative research on unions and collective bargaining in Sub-Saharan Africa. It discusses the consequences of unions for wages, inequality, economic performance and employer-employee relations. The article also highlights the role of unions in society, a role that goes beyond the economic sphere. Moreover, the article discusses evidence on how the specific situation in Sub-Saharan Africa influences unionization and collective bargaining. The informal sector, ethnic divide and globalization entail serious threats to workers' unionization. The increasing influence of China and neoliberal policy prescriptions by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are challenging factors, too.</summary>

    <summary type="text">Title: Documentation Paper – Attitude Towards and Demand for a Digital Euro: A Representative Survey in France, Germany, and Italy
Authors: Hayo, Bernd; Neuenkirch, Matthias; Walz, Manuel
Abstract: This documentation paper provides background information and basic descriptive statistics for a representative survey of the French, German, and Italian populations, focusing on attitudes towards and the demand for a digital euro conducted on our behalf by Dynata in November and December 2023. The survey is quota-based by gender, age, income, and region. To measure views on a digital euro, the survey controls for various characteristics, including the digitalisation of daily life, financial literacy, payment behaviour, attitudes towards European integration, and several socio-demographic characteristics. Additionally, three treatments are implemented. Treatment 1 highlights the differences between private and public money, Treatment 2 presents various hypothetical designs for a digital euro, and Treatment 3 introduces a digital euro holding limit</summary>

    <summary type="text">Title: Political spillovers of worker representation: With or without workplace democracy?
Authors: Jirjahn, Uwe
Abstract: A series of studies show that unions and works councils have an influence on workers' political activities and attitudes. However, at issue are the transmission channels through which worker representation impacts workers' political activities and attitudes. This article discusses from a theoretical and empirical viewpoint whether the influence of worker representation reflects increased workplace democracy. The article also discusses possible policy implications.</summary>

    <summary type="text">Title: Geldwäsche und deren Auswirkungen auf Immobilienpreise in Deutschland
Authors: Neuenkirch, Matthias; von Auer, Ludwig; El-Ghazi, Mohamad; Hoffmann, Alina; Jansen, Scarlett; Klotz, Jasna; Seidel, Thomas; Walz, Manuel
Abstract: Die vorliegende Studie untersucht das Ausmaß der Geldwäsche im deutschen Immobiliensektor und deren Auswirkungen auf die Immobilienpreise anhand von Informationen zu Verdachtsmeldungen aus dem Verpflichtetenkreis des Geldwäschegesetzes sowie öffentlich zugänglichen Informationen zu Immobilientransaktionen und Immobiliendaten. Bislang wurden steigende Immobilienpreise als einer der schädlichen Effekte der Geldwäsche vermutet. Eine evidenzbasierte Datengrundlage für diese Annahme fehlte jedoch bislang. Der negative Effekt von Geldwäsche auf die Immobilienpreise kann durch die vorliegende Studie erstmals empirisch belegt werden. Aus dem im Rahmen der Studie untersuchten Datensatz lässt sich ableiten, dass Geldwäsche zu einer Preissteigerung im Immobiliensektor führt. Die Studie erbringt somit auch (mittelbar) den Nachweis, dass Geldwäsche tatsächlich negative Folgen für den Wirtschaftskreislauf hat. Besonderer Dank gilt der Forschungsinitiative Rheinland-Pfalz für die finanzielle Förderung sowie der Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) für die Bereitstellung von Statistiken zu Geldwäscheverdachtsmeldungen im Rahmen einer Sonderauswertung.</summary>
