Über diese Zeitschrift

Welcome! As of 2016 the Review of Economics as well as all other journals of Lucius and Lucius Verlagsgesellschaft are published by De Gruyter Oldenbourg.

Aims and Scope
The Review of Economics (Jahrbuch für Wirtschaftswissenschaften) is a peer-reviewed general interest journal and publishes articles from all fields of economics.
Only articles with a strong policy focus are considered for publication. The Review of Economics will consider papers that are based on (i) a well defined theoretical model (ii) an empirical analysis or (iii) an experimental or (iv) an evidence-based framework.
The Review of Economics is also highly interested in survey articles on important policy issues.
Since the Review of Economics intends to deliver a forum for policy contributions and to influence the public debate we guarantee a quick and efficient referee process (the initial publication decision will be made within a maximum of 90 days). The editors may decide to publish papers without a referee process whenever authors send their submissions together with the referee reports and the decision letter of the previous submission and explain how they reacted to the reports. Accepted articles will be pre-published on the internet page of the journal as soon as they are accepted. Because the Review of Economics is not an e-Journal all articles also appear in a regular print version with some delay.

Partner Journal
Czech Journal of Economics and Finance

The Czech Journal of Economics and Finance (ISSN 0015-1920) is an English-language, double-blind refereed academic journal published in Prague since 1951. It devotes special attention to monetary economics, public finance, financial economics, and international economics, but it is open to high-quality papers from all fields of modern economics. The editors prefer empirically oriented papers, but do not exclude review articles or theoretical contributions provided that they are of high quality and relevant to the journal's aims.

Geschichte

The Review of Economics was founded in 1950 by the three German economists Carl Brinkmann, Andreas Predohl and Reinhard Schaeder as "Jahrbuch fur Sozialwissenschaft". Among the contributors of the rst issue of the journal were famous scientists such as Oskar Morgenstern and Joseph Schumpeter.
In 1995 the journal was renamed as "Jahrbuch fur Wirtschaftswissenschaften". While until 2012 the journal published articles in both German and English language, since 2013 only contributions in English are considered for publication. Since then the journal is published under the title "Review of Economics".

Non-Linear Impact of Public Debt on Inflation in Rwanda

Talknice Saungweme, Glenda Maluleke, Nicholas M. Odhiambo

Seiten: 79-98

Mehr

Abstract

This paper examines Rwanda’s debt-inflation dynamics and the asymmetric effect of government debt on inflation using time series data spanning the years 1980–2021. The study applied a battery of tests to examine the debt-inflation linkage in this country, including the bounds F-test for cointegration, the Brock-Dechert-Scheinkman (BDS) nonlinearity test, the Wald test for asymmetries and the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model for short run and long run asymmetric impact. The results of the NARDL bounds F-test for cointegration support a long-run nonlinear link between public debt and inflation in Rwanda. The findings of the BDS test reveal that the series is nonlinear in all dimensions, whereas the results of the Wald test show that public debt has an asymmetric impact on inflation, regardless of the timescale considered. The NARDL findings show that while a rise in public debt tends to be inflationary in the short run, a decline in public debt typically leads to a decrease in inflation in the long run. The study also demonstrates that inflation responds more rapidly and strongly to positive than negative shocks in public debt. The country should think about continuous enforcement of fiscal consolidation measures and reforms, as well as implementing economic growth-friendly policies to reduce debt increases in the short run. This will induce a decline in inflation and enhance macroeconomic stability in the long run.

Does Innovation Shape the Employment Growth Distribution? Evidence from East European Firms

Stefan Schneck, Sebastian Nielen, Christian Dienes

Seiten: 99-123

Abstract

Employment growth is one of the most crucial indicators for economic policy. Existing studies show that only a small fraction of firms experience high growth rates and create the most new jobs. Making use of recentered influence function regressions, this study examines the effects of process and product innovations on the employment growth distribution. The analysis is based on firm data from Eastern European countries. The effects of process innovation on job creation are ambiguous. An increase in firms with products and services that are new to the market shape the upper tail of the employment growth distribution. Product and service innovations thus cause skewness of the employment growth distribution and are a major determinant of job creation. This study therefore presents evidence on whether and how innovation activities affect employment growth and contributes to the lively debate about how to foster employment growth.

Land Titling and Sustainable Agricultural Practices in Vietnam

My Nguyen

Seiten: 125-139

Abstract

This study quantifies the less salient yet important impacts of land titling on the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices (SAPs) in the context of Vietnam. Exploiting the within-plot variation in titling status, we find that land titling is positively associated with the implementation of SAPs. Specifically, being given formal titles to land makes Vietnamese rural households 6.58, 3.65, and 1.97 percentage points more likely to invest in soil-water conservation, adopt crop rotation, and leave the land fallow, respectively. These estimates represent increases of 8.7, 20.9, and 2 % compared to the sample averages, respectively. Given the substantial stress on the agricultural system generated by conventional farming, raising the adoption of SAPs could improve food security and alleviate hunger. Our findings also imply that strengthening land property rights through land titling can help us achieve sustainable development goals. The study calls for intensified policy efforts to make sure that formal land use certificates are issued for all farmlands.

The Impact of the Tax Reduction on Fuel Prices in Germany – A Synthetic Difference-in-Differences Approach

Lea Bernhardt, Xenia Breiderhoff, Ralf Dewenter

Seiten: 141-160

Mehr

Abstract

We analyse the impact of the temporary tax reduction on diesel and gasoline prices from June to the end of August 2022 in Germany. By implementing a synthetic difference-in-differences approach with different baskets of European countries, we find a significant reduction in prices by 33.8–34.4 cents per litre for gasoline and 12.2–14.6 cents per litre for diesel. These results are robust to variations of countries as well as different time periods analysed. Therefore, we conclude that the temporary reduction of the tax rate on gasoline and diesel was passed through to consumers by rates of 97 %–99 % for gasoline and 75 %–86 % for diesel, respectively. However, these pass-on rates do not imply a high level of competition. On the contrary, an increase in prices before the introduction of the tax cut and an increase before the end of the discount tend to indicate less intense competition.

How Does Takeover Competition Affect the Stock Performance of Targets and Acquirers? Evidence from the European Union

Tobias Kellner, Dominik Maltritz

Seiten: 161-193

Mehr

Abstract

We examine the impact of M&A announcements on stock prices of targets and acquirers in the European Union from 2002 to 2021. In line with the literature, we find strong positive returns for the target firms’ stocks, whereas returns are low or insignificant for the acquirers. We contribute to the literature by focusing on the effect of takeover competition and distinguishing between the returns of first and later bids. Accordingly, we confirm strong relationships between subsequent offers and target firms’ stock returns. These returns increase if a second order is made and if the premium related to the second offer is higher.
