Is there a diminishing willingness to pay for consumption amenities as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic?()
Full text linkWe employ the Covid-19 pandemic as an unanticipated event in order to investigate the willingness to pay for consumption amenities such as restaurants, cinemas and theaters. We use a hedonic pricing model in combination with a time-gradient difference-in-difference approach. Our data set contains virtually all apartments for sale in the larger Stockholm area. We use a very detailed and flexible definition of the density of consumption amenities based on the exact location of these amenities and the walking distance from the apartments to these amenities. Although there are differences between specifications, we find a decrease of 3.9 percent of apartments that we label as amenity rich. Based on the average apartment price, this equals a drop of 195,240 Swedish Kronor (or almost 22,000 US dollars)
Specification and estimation of spatial panel data models
No full textThis article provides a survey of the specification and estimation of spatial panel data models. These models include spatial error autocorrelation, or the specification is extended with a spatially lagged dependent variable. In particular, the author focuses on the specification and estimation of four panel data models commonly used in applied research: the fixed effects model, the random effects model, the fixed coefficients model, and the random coefficients model. The survey discusses the asymptotic properties of the estimators and provides guidance with respect to the estimation procedures, which should be useful for practitioners
GGDC Historical National Accounts
No full textThe datahub on Comparative Historical National Accounts provides information on Gross Domestic Product, including an industry breakdown, for the 19th and 20th centuries. This dataset is a complement to Angus Maddison’s estimates of World GDP. It gives the user GDP estimates at current as well as constant prices, and presents more detailed estimates at an industry level. These data will enable researchers to analyse the process of economic growth and structural change in more detail. The construction of the database was supported by grants from the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) and the European Science Foundation (ESF)

Financial and Social Performance of Socially Responsible Investments in the Netherlands
No full textWe analyse the performance of socially responsible investments in the Netherlands. It appears that the financial performance of the various types of socially responsible investments differs considerably. We construct a proxy for mutual funds' CSR policies and use information about the environmental and social impact of activities financed by "green" financial institutions. We find preliminary evidence that financial and CSR performance substantially differs per category of financial instrument analysed. In the Netherlands, tax policy significantly affects financial results and the government can affect the CSR impact of some financial instruments too. More coherent and consistent information about CSR is required to establish whether financial and social performance interact.

Hours worked and the U.S. distribution of real annual earnings 1976-2016
Full text linkWe examine the impact of annual hours worked on annual earnings by decomposing
changes in the real annual earnings distribution into composition, structural and hours
effects. We do so via a nonseparable simultaneous model of hours, wages and earnings.
Using the Current Population Survey for the survey years 1976–2019, we find that
changes in the female distribution of annual hours of work are important in explaining
movements in inequality in female annual earnings. This captures the substantial
changes in their employment behavior over this period. Movements in the male hours
distribution only affect the lower part of their earnings distribution and reflect the
sensitivity of these workers’ annual hours of work to cyclical factors.https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.11211First author draf
