Essays in Applied Microeconomics

This thesis consists of 4 chapters in the field of applied microeconomics. Chapter 1 develops a model of international roaming. International alliances emerge endogenously and serve as a commitment device to soften competition on the retail market.

Services trade liberalisation and patterns of trade in intermediates: determinants, comparative advantage and intra-firm trade

In particular, we study the determinants of services liberalisation undertaken by countries under the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) of 1995. In Chapters 2-4, we analyse different aspects of the patterns of trade in intermediates. In Chapter ...

Furthermore, methodological aspects of marginalist price theory ar...

Primat der Form

Die Arbeit liefert zunächst eine Kritik der zentralen Argumente der modernen Makroökonomik. Hierbei werden insbesondere Aspekte der Aggregation bzw. Mikrofundierung, der Wohlfahrtsanalyse, der Rigorosität der Modellierung und der Lucas-Kritik aufgegriffen. Die vorgestellten Ergebnisse stellen die Legitimität und Angemessenheit moderner Makroökonomik grundlegend in Frage und verweisen darauf, dass sich das mikroökonomische Prinzip des individuellen Rationalverhaltens als Qualitätskriterium in der...

Three essays in applied empirical economics

Each of the three chapters of this thesis is related to a specific aspect of financing and concerns, respectively, governments, corporations, and households. The first chapter studies the determinants of euro-denominated Central and Eastern European (CEE) government bond spreads that reflect the financing costs incurred by these countries. The second chapter turns to the corporate sector and analyses whether corporate debt markets in the euro area are converging. In this way we assess whether co...
