    The acceleration of house price growth amidst falling interest rates to record-low levels across euro area countries between 2015 and 2021 has sparked renewed interest in the link between the two variables. Asset-pricing theory suggests that real house prices respond to changes in real interest rates in a non-linear fashion. This non-linearity should be especially pronounced at very low real interest rates. Most existing empirical studies estimate models with a constant semi-elasticity, thereby ruling out by design the potential non-linearities between house prices and interest rates. To address this issue, we estimate a panel model for the euro area countries with a constant interest rate elasticity (as opposed to a constant semi-elasticity), which is consistent with asset pricing theory. Our empirical results suggest that, in a low interest rate environment such as the period between 2015 and 2021, non-linearities in the house price response to interest rate changes are important: an increase of real interest rates from ultra-low levels could lead to downward pressure on real house prices three to eight times higher than the literature suggests.

    This report assesses the impact of the intermediated lending of the European Investment Bank (EIB) on small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Western Balkans, with a particular focus on employment. The EIB plays a central role in the financing of SMEs and mid-caps in the Western Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia), where firms' access to bank-lending finance is low compared to EU standards. With the aim of spurring firms' growth, the EIB channels liquidity through financial intermediaries on favourable conditions, such as providing lower interest rates or longer tenure.

    Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Unternehmensgewinnen und ihrer theoretischen Erklärung. Ausgehend von dem üblichen Gewinnverständnis, wie wir es aus dem Shareholder-Kapitalismus kennen, wird einerseits gefragt, wie in der Politischen Ökonomie der Gewinn erklärt und behandelt wird, um daraus eine Arbeitsdefinition der Gewinnkomponenten abzuleiten. Andererseits wird darauf basierend die Distribution von Gewinnen diskutiert und behauptet, dass der Gewinn zunächst einmal der Unternehmung selbst zusteht. The paper deals with the profit of the firm and its theoretical explanations. Starting with the usual understanding of profit in the shareholder capitalism, on the one hand we investigate how the profit can be understood from the view of political economy. Based on these results we introduce a working definition for profit and its components. On the other hand we discuss the distribution of wealth stating that the profits are attributable to the firm in its own rights.
