    Podiumsdiskussion im Rahmen der Frühlingsakademie Nachhaltigkeit 2023: Wie kann und soll eine Landwirtschaft der Zukunft aussehen, die sowohl gesunde und sichere Lebensmittel in ausreichender Menge produziert, als auch schonend mit natürlichen Ressourcen umgeht? Welche Rolle spielen Digitalisierung, Genschere oder andere technologische Entwicklungen bei dieser Herausforderung? Wie können wir in konstruktive und evidenzbasierte Aushandlungsprozesse kommen? Diese und weitere Fragen im Bereich Landnutzung, neue Technologien und Agrarpolitik diskutierten Expertinnen und Experten bei der öffentlichen Podiumsdiskussion zum Abschluss der Frühlingsakademie Nachhaltigkeit. Nach einer Begrüßung von Prof. Dr. Senja Post (Professorin für Wissenschaftskommunikation, wissenschaftliche Leiterin des ZAK am KIT) diskutierten: - Dr. Richard Fuchs (Stellv. Leiter der Forschungsgruppe Land Use Change and Climate, IMK-IFU, KIT-Campus Alpin) - Sabine Kurtz MdL (Staatssekretärin für Ernährung, Ländlichen Raum und Verbraucherschutz) - Michael Reber (Landwirt, Innovative Landwirtschaft) - Prof. Dr. Stephan von Cramon-Taubadel (Inhaber des Lehrstuhls Agrarpolitik am Department für Agrarökonomie und Rurale Entwicklung, Universität Göttingen) Es moderierte Gábor Paál (Leitung der Abteilung Wissenschaft und Bildung, SWR) Die Veranstaltung fand statt am Donnerstag, 30.

To answer this question we estimate a version of the Burdett-Mortensen search equilibrium model and analyze how workers’ search behaviour responded to these reforms. We try both nonparametric and fully-parametric estimation methods and identify the cases in which the nonparametric approach cannot be applied. We find that the entitlement reforms are largely responsible for the increase of unemployment among unskilled workers

    Measuring Vulnerability to Poverty Using Long-Term Panel Data Author & abstract Download & other version 16 References 4 Citations Related works & more Corrections Author Listed: Katja Landau (Georg-August-University Göttingen) Stephan Klasen (Georg-August-University Göttingen) Walter Zucchini (Georg-August-University Göttingen) Registered: Stephan Klasen Abstract We investigate the accuracy of ex ante assessments of vulnerability to income poverty using cross-sectional data and panel data. We use long-term panel data from Germany and apply di fferent regression models, based on household covariates and previous-year equivalence income, to classify a household as vulnerable or not. Predictive performance is assessed using the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC), which takes account of false positive as well as true positive rates. Estimates based on cross-sectional data are much less accurate than those based on panel data, but for Germany, the accuracy of vulnerability predictions is limited even when panel data are used. In part this low accuracy is due to low poverty incidence and high mobility in and out of poverty
