New Project
30.11.2022
The Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) has granted a new joint research project with the Energy Systems Analysis group of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The EWaGI project aims at studying sectoral and macroeconomic implications of the energy transition, thereby focusing on heterogeneous firm behavior in response to rising energy prices. The three-year project starts in December 2022. Principle investigator is Philipp Harting.
With about 70 million dead, World War II remains the most devastating conflict in history. Of the survivors, millions were displaced, returned maimed from the battlefield, or spent years in captivity. We examine the impact of these wartime experiences on labor market careers and find that they often become apparent only at certain life stages. While war injuries reduced employment in old age, former prisoners of war postponed their retirement. Among older cohorts, many displaced persons never returned to employment. We show that these responses are in line with a standard life-cycle model and thus likely extend to other conflicts.
