    <description>Title: Public purchasing subsidies and the fear of missing out: A full-sample analysis of electric vehicle adoption in Germany
Authors: Creutzburg, Carsten; Dörr, Leo; Maennig, Wolfgang
Abstract: This is the first study to employ a national full sample dataset for a socioeconomic analysis of the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). We use the most recent vehicle registration dataset from the Fed-eral Motor Transport Authority of Germany, which includes the entire underlying population of German vehicle owners. Combining web-scraped data covering all vehicles available in the German market with actual registration data allows a unique analysis of the individual decisions to purchase an EV. Our results suggest that financial incentives are the most relevant factor for EV adoption, with a €1,000 subsidy in-crease boosting EV choice probability by 1.2 percentage points. Given that EVs currently constitute 12% of newly registered private vehicles in Germany, our model calculates that, in the absence of subsidies, this share would be 1.2%. In contrast, a uniform maximum subsidy of €9,000 from 2011 to 2023 could have increased the adoption rate to 20%. These results underscore the importance of fin ancial incentives in achieving policy targets for EV adoption and suggest that purchase subsidies exhibit increasing marginal returns.</description>

    <description>Title: Does declaring a "climate emergency" impact consumer behavior? Evidence from the German electric car market
Authors: Maennig, Wolfgang; Rohde, Niklas
Abstract: Effects of climate emergency declarations (CEDs) have been reported in multiple cases; this is the first paper to test their potential economic impacts on the market share of electric vehicles (EVs). We use panel data on German CEDs at the district level from 2015 to 2023, employ a difference-in-differences (DiD) approach, and find that compared with districts lacking CEDs, districts with CEDs do not demonstrate significant disparities in EV registrations. We do not find evidence that climate emergencies motivate more environmentally friendly consumption.</description>

    <description>Title: Aid and growth: Asymmetric effects?
Authors: Dörr, Leo
Abstract: This paper provides new empirical findings on the aid-growth relation. We find evidence for considerable asymmetry in the aid-growth relation; i.e., aid cuts have a large negative impact on economic activity, while increasing aid may be ineffective in promoting growth. Development aid thus largely replaces rather than complements domestic resources. We innovate by combining dynamic generalized method of moments techniques with asymmetric effect analysis. Unlike previous studies in this area, our empirical design allows us to account for potential weak instrument problems and endogeneity concerns when estimating the effects of aid upturns and downturns separately.</description>

    <description>Title: From bias to bliss: Racial preferences and worker productivity in tennis
Authors: Creutzburg, Carsten; Maennig, Wolfgang; Mueller, Steffen Q.
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of differences in consumers racial preferences on worker productivity through the example of the home advantage (HA) effect using data on wins in mens professional tennis from 2001 to 2020 (pre-COVID-19). We identify players racial affiliation as one of five distinct race groups by combining clustering algorithms and facial recognition software. Our empirical design innovates by allowing us to distinguish among HA factors related to the presence of fans, referee bias, travel fatigue, and home-court familiarity. We provide evidence of social environments where Black players benefit more strongly from fan support than players of other races.</description>
