Über diese Zeitschrift

Die Jahrbücher für Nationalökonomie und Statistik werden seit 1863 als wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift in Deutschland publiziert. Sie veröffentlichen Beiträge in deutscher und englischer Sprache aus allen Bereichen der Ökonomie und angewandten Statistik. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Arbeiten, die theoretische Ansätze mit empirischer Analyse verbinden.
Aufsätze, die wirtschaftspolitisch relevante Schlussfolgerungen erlauben, sind besonders willkommen. Es werden aber auch rein theoretische, methodische oder wirtschaftshistorische Arbeiten für das Begutachtungsverfahren in Betracht gezogen.
Die Herausgeber sind ebenfalls an Replikationsstudien interessiert, mit denen die Robustheit empirischer Ergebnisse eingeschätzt werden kann.
In der Rubrik Data Observer erscheinen Beiträge zu Datensätzen, die für empirische Studien verfügbar sind, und zu Institutionen, die Forschungsdaten zur Verfügung stellen. Die Zeitschrift publiziert außerdem Themenhefte, kurze Diskussionsbeiträge und Buchbesprechungen. Alle frei verfügbaren Beiträge, u.a. sämtliche Data Observer Artikel, sind über die Suche zu finden.

Political Ignorance and the Internet

Irene Bertschek, David F. Müller

Seiten: 3-28

Abstract

We examine the link between Internet usage and political ignorance. To do so, we construct a novel index measuring individuals’ indifference with respect to political issues, which determines the degree of individual political ignorance. Our descriptive econometric analysis is based on a rich dataset consisting of six surveys of individuals covering the time period 2001–2014 and being representative for the German electorate. The empirical results show that in earlier years of Internet diffusion, there is a negative link between using the Internet and political ignorance. This link changes sign in later years of Internet diffusion. We discuss potential explanations of this observed change in the link such as information overload and the increase in heterogeneity of Internet users.

Bielefeld May In Fact Not Exist – Empirical Evidence From Official Population Data

Patrick Winter

Seiten: 29-38

Mehr PDF downloaden

Abstract

The “Bielefeld conspiracy” has long disputed the existence of Bielefeld, a (supposed) German city. In this paper, an approach is developed to test such a theory empirically by auditing officially reported population numbers, arguing that real cities would not fake these. It is shown that Bielefeld’s data, in fact, violate the Benford law, a statistical law that they should follow if they were genuine. This anomaly is found only for Bielefeld, in contrast to all other tested similar and dissimilar cities, across two decades, and with highest significance by five statistical tests. The Bielefeld conspiracy remains as the most or even only plausible explanation for these findings.

Export Boosting Policies and Firm Performance: Review of Empirical Evidence Around the World

Stjepan Srhoj, Vanja Vitezić, Joachim Wagner

Seiten: 45-92

Mehr PDF downloaden

Abstract

How effective are government policy attempts to boost firm exports in the short-run? We answer this question by conducting a review of 33 studies from 26 countries around the world, and provide nine findings. Export boosting policies are defined as a group of public policies that aim to increase firm exports in the short-run. These include policies such as export promotion, export-oriented public grants, public export guarantee schemes and subsidised export loans. Our review provides insights into policy effectiveness with respect to extensive and intensive export margins, as well as firms’ production function inputs and its outputs. The heterogeneity of effects across firm characteristics is emphasised, and the discussion is enriched with new evidence of spillover effects from export boosting policies. Finally, we summarise back-of-the-envelope calculations of the cost-benefit analysis and provide recommendations for future research.

Abstract

The German DeZIM.panel is an online access panel that provides data specifically for topics regarding migration and integration. It includes an oversampling for several migrant groups in Germany, and thus allows specific subgroup analyses. Due to its longitudinal structure, its long-term development and the effects of sudden external events can be traced and analyzed.
