    <description>Title: Family firms and their role in the fall of the labor share and the rise of corporate saving in germany
Authors: Behringer, Jan; van Treeck, Till; Victor, Vincent
Abstract: This paper investigates the role of family firms in the fall of the labor share and rise in corporate saving in Germany from 1993 to 2019. Combining a new Family Ownership and Governance (FOG) database with financial data, we analyze 929 publicly listed firms. Our findings show that firm-level labor share declines are widespread in Germany, contrasting with findings from the U.S. that link this trend to a few fast-growing superstar firms. Family firms, particularly in manufacturing, experienced sharper decreases in the labor share and stronger increases in corporate saving compared to non-family firms. The level of family involvement in Germany's two-tier board system (management and supervisory board) further affects these outcomes. Despite paying lower wages, we find no evidence that family firms provide greater employment stability. Our results challenge global generalizations about the drivers of the labor share and corporate saving, while emphasizing the macroeconomic relevance of family firms, especially in Germany's corporate sector.</description>

    <description>Title: Passing the partisan filter: Political narratives, partisan bias and opinions on public finances
Authors: Jürgens, Ekaterina; Gechert, Sebastian
Abstract: This paper investigates whether political partisanship and political narratives affect voters' opinions about public finances. In a novel survey experiment, we test the causal effect of pro-consolidation and pro-public investment narratives used in German general election campaigns on participants' opinions on public debt and how to deal with budget deficits. We do not find a relevant average treatment effect of these narratives. However, they partly interact with political party preferences, which are a dominant covariate for opinions on public finances. We interpret our findings as a conjunction of narrative economics theory and the partisan bias literature, by which only emotionally charged narratives pass the partisan filter.</description>

    <description>Title: Cost perceptions and the support for carbon pricing
Authors: Behringer, Jan; Endres, Lukas; Korsinnek, Maike
Abstract: We examine how perceptions about the costs of carbon pricing affect policy acceptance. Using a representative sample of the German population, we conduct experiments that provide randomly selected respondents with personalized information about their costs at the current carbon price or a higher future price. Participants tend to overestimate their current costs and increase their carbon price acceptance when receiving cost information. In contrast, respondents underestimate future costs and reduce their support once they learn about actual costs. This underscores the importance of personalized information in fostering current support for carbon pricing, while cautioning against potential backlash as prices rise.</description>

    <description>Title: Historische Preissteigerungen in Deutschland, niedrige Inflation in der Schweiz: Die Rolle von Regulierung
Authors: Dullien, Sebastian; Gallusser, David; Tober, Silke
Abstract: Als Folge der massiven Preisschocks 2021 und 2022 schnellte die HVPI-Rate in Deutschland teilweise auf über 11 %, überschritt in der Schweiz aber nur kurzzeitig 3 %. Entscheidend war, dass die Energiepreise in der Spitze in Deutschland 5,3 Prozentpunkte zur Inflation beitrugen (Oktober 2022) verglichen mit 1,5 Prozentpunkten in der Schweiz (Juni 2022) und weitgefasste Nahrungsmittel 3,1 Prozentpunkte verglichen mit 0,8 Prozentpunkten (März 2023). Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Rolle struktureller Unterschiede beim Durchwirken der internationalen Preisschocks auf die inländische Inflation. Von Bedeutung sind dabei erstens regulatorische Unterschiede und der ausgeprägte Protektionismus des Agrarsektors in der Schweiz. Ein zweiter Faktor sind unterschiedliche Warenkorbstrukturen. Eingriffe des Staates in die Preisbildung sowie Veränderungen indirekter Steuern und Abgaben begründen drittens, warum die Inflationsunterschiede nicht noch ausgeprägter ausfielen und warum die Strompreise in der Schweiz trotz der Bedeutung der Wasserkraft letztlich ähnlich stark anzogen wie in Deutschland. Demgegenüber dürfte die geldpolitische Reaktion bestenfalls eine untergeordnete Rolle gespielt haben, auch wenn die deutlichere Abwertung des Euro die externen Preisschocks verstärkt hat.</description>
