Spillover and Competition Effects: Evidence from the Sub-Saharan African Banking Sector
No full textThis paper examines the efficiency effects of foreign bank entry on domestic banks in sub-Saharan Africa during the period 1999-2006. Using a recently compiled dataset on foreign bank presence, the competition and spillover effects of North-South, regional and nonregional South-South banks are distinguished. The results show that the competitive pressure on domestic banks' net interest margins emanates only from regional South-South banks. There is evidence of spillover effects from North-South and regional South-South banks on domestic banks. As domestic banks invest in foreign technologies, their overhead costs increase in the short-run. Non-regional South-South banks seem to have little effect on the efficiency of domestic banks. --Sub-Saharan Africa,efficiency,South-South banks,spillover
Spillover and Competition Effects: Evidence from the sub-Saharan African Banking Sector

Water vapour mixing ratio over Ny-Alesund from LiDAR measurements 2015-2018
No full textUsing the Raman channels of the Koldeway Aerosol Raman Lidar (KARL) a water vapour mixing ratio is derived.
Data is availiable for all measurements during the dark season since 2015.
Calibration in the winters 2015/2016 and 2016/2017 was performed using the GRUAN radiosounding product.
For comparison those winters where recalculated with radiosounding measurements processed by the Vaisala Algorithm.
The winter 2017/2018 is calibrated using radiosounding measurement from the RS41processed by the Vaisala Algrithm.
The details of the calibration of this water vapour product are explained in Kulla & Ritter 2019

Cloud top altitude retrieved from Lidar measurements during AFLUX at 1 second resolution
No full textDuring the AFLUX aircraft campaign (21.3.2019 - 11.4.2019) the AMALi Lidar was installed mostly nadir pointing. This dataset contains the cloud top altitudes below the aircraft (altitudes with strong signal increase), as well as a cloud mask, derived from the optical depth of the column. The majority of the data was collected northwest of the Svalbard archipelago. More details on the campaign can be found here (https://home.uni-leipzig.de/~ehrlich/AFLUX_wiki_doku). Please check the data documentation before using this dataset
