Trade and the Spillovers of Transnational Terrorism
- 2009
Summary We examine the impact of transnational terrorism diffusion on security
and international trade. To counter the diffusion of transnational terrorism,
targeted governments implement security measures against countries where terror
could potentially diffuse. Since security measures raise trade costs, we argue
that countries, close enough to those from where terror originates, should
experienc...
COVID-19 financial support to small businesses in Switzerland: evaluation and outlook
- 2020
AbstractWe analyse small businesses’ recourse to public support measures during
the COVID-19 crisis using a survey of 1011 self-employed workers and small
business owners in Switzerland. We find that “objective” measures of lockdown
affectedness and economic structure explain fairly well how businesses availed
of support measures to cover labour costs. Recourse to government-backed corona
loans, h...
The effects of immigration on wages: An application of the structural skill-cell approach
Tập 146 Số 4 - Trang 709-739 - 2010
SummaryThis paper investigates how recent immigration inflows from 2002 to 2008
have affected wages in Switzerland. This period is of particular interest as it
marks the time during which the bilateral agreement with the EU on the free
cross-border movement of workers has been effective. Since different types of
workers are likely to be unevenly affected by recent immigration inflows, we
follow th...
International price differences in ski lift tickets
- 2011
Summary This paper provides empirical evidence on international price
differences in ski lift tickets based on 214 ski areas in Austria, France, and
Switzerland for the winter season 2010/2011. We find that French and Austrian
one-day lift tickets (net of VAT) are an average of 17 and 7 per cent lower,
respectively, than Swiss ticket prices after controlling for ski areas’
characteristics. The res...

Assessing the Future of Renewable and Smart Grid Technologies in Regional Energy Systems
- 2012
Summary In this paper we present the regional techno-economic model ETEM,
designed for the analysis of regional energy/environment systems and we show how
it can be used to explore the possible penetration of new technologies in a
region corresponding roughly to the canton of Geneva. We investigate three
scenarios with different constraints on CO2 emissions and electricity imports
and show the ess...
Mobility and sales activity during the Corona crisis: daily indicators for Switzerland
- 2020
AbstractThis paper documents daily compound indicators on physical mobility and
sales activity in Switzerland during the Corona crisis. We report several
insights from these indicators: The Swiss population substantially reduced its
activities already before the shops closed and before the authorities introduced
containment policies in mid-March 2020. Activity started to gradually recover
from the...
Augmented wealth in Switzerland: the influence of pension wealth on wealth inequality
Tập 156 Số 1 - 2020
Abstract Entitlements for social security and occupational pensions present a
major wealth component and play a central role for financial security. However,
most individual-level data lacks information on pension wealth. By linking
various data sources, this contribution estimates the present value of future
pension entitlements in Switzerland for statutory pensions, occupational
pensions and thi...
Swiss Climate Change and Nuclear Policy: A Comparative Analysis Using an Energy System Approach and a Sectoral Electricity Model
Tập 148 Số 2 - Trang 275-316 - 2012
Summary Decisions on climate change and nuclear policies are likely to have
major influences on the future evolution of the Swiss energy system. To
understand the implications of selected future policy decisions, we analyse the
development of the Swiss energy system with a bottom-up technology-rich
least-cost optimisation modelling framework. We use the Swiss MARKAL energy
system model and analyse...
