    This paper investigates the impact of monitoring institutions on market outcomes in health care. Health care markets are characterized by asymmetric information. Physicians have an information advantage over patients with respect to the appropriate treatment for the patient and may exploit this informational advantage by over- and underprovision as well as by overcharging. We introduce two types of costly monitoring, endogenous and exogenous. When monitoring detects misbehavior, physicians have to pay a fine. Endogenous monitoring can be requested by patients, whereas exogenous monitoring is performed randomly by a third party. We present a toy model that enables us to derive hypotheses and to test them in a laboratory experiment. Our results show that introducing endogenous monitoring reduces the level of undertreatment and overcharging. Even under high monitoring costs, the threat of patient monitoring is sufficient to discipline physicians. Introducing exogenous monitoring also reduces undertreatment and overcharging when it is performed sufficiently frequently. Market efficiency increases when endogenous monitoring is introduced as well as when exogenous monitoring is implemented with sufficient frequency. Our results, therefore, suggest that monitoring may be a feasible instrument to improve outcomes in health care markets.

    In this paper, we provide new evidence on the association of state ownership and tax planning and show that shareholders' monitoring incentives affect a firm's tax planning. Using the unique setting of the German corporate tax system, we distinguish between state owners that directly benefit from state-owned enterprises' (SOEs') income tax payments and those that do not. Our results indicate that the negative association between state ownership and tax planning is concentrated in SOEs where the state owner directly benefits from the tax payments. These results are robust to various specifications and suggest that shareholders' monitoring incentives are a determinant of firms' tax planning activities

    In this paper, we investigate tourism-related policy approaches that WTO member countries adopted in the early weeks of the COVID-19 crisis. We highlight the need for stakeholders to coordinate their responses in order to mitigate the negative crisis effects and better prepare the sector for the future. In doing so, we explore the economic impact of potential tourism scenarios, underlining both the demand and supply side effects of the crisis. By compiling and organising information from a range of sources based on information available at the time, the paper provides a systematic approach to map and analyse tourism-related policies for 59 WTO Members across all continents. Our findings confirm that: (i) almost 90% of the countries analysed focused their tourism policy responses on economic stimulus measures to mitigate the negative impacts of COVID-19 and facilitate a strong recovery; (ii) more than half of the examined countries have taken financial measures to support the sector through loans, tax deferrals etc.; (iii) less than a third of the analysed countries enacted social and employment measures.

    Unemployment benefits often reduce incentives to search for a job. Policymakers have responded to this behaviour by setting minimum job search requirements, by monitoring to check that unemployment benefit recipients are engaged in the appropriate level of job search activity, and by imposing sanctions for infractions. Empirical studies consistently show that job search monitoring and benefit sanctions reduce unemployment duration and increase job entry in the short term. There is some evidence that longer-term effects of benefit sanctions may be negative.

    The OECD Survey on Blended Finance Funds and Facilities represents a major step forward to consolidate evidence to inform policy makers and market players in the blended finance field, as they strive to both mobilise and shift financing towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This working paper presents findings from the 2018 edition of the OECD survey relating to the development strategy, performance tracking and evaluation approach of the surveyed blended finance funds and facilities. It provides new evidence on the extent to which blended finance vehicles anchor their investment strategy, as well as their environmental, social and governance (ESG) safeguards, to international agreements on sustainable development. It investigates how blended finance vehicles structure their monitoring and evaluation function, track development performance and assess development results.

    Teacher absenteeism and shirking are common problems in developing countries. While monitoring teachers should ameliorate those problems, mobilizing parents to do so often leads to small or even negative effects on learning outcomes. This paper provides causal evidence that this might result from non-monotonic effects of monitoring teachers. Cross-randomizing nudges to teachers and parents in Ivory Coast - to motivate and monitor teachers directly, and to mobilize parents -, we find that in schools where either parents or teachers are nudged, student dropouts decrease by nearly 50%. In contrast, in schools where both are nudged, there is no effect on dropouts.

    Der Übergang des derzeitigen, auf nicht erneuerbaren Rohstoffen basierenden Wirtschaftssystems zu einem nachhaltigeren System, in dem erneuerbare Ressourcen genutzt werden, ist ein zentrales Ziel der Deutschen Bioökonomiestrategie. Um belastbare Informationen zur Entwicklung der Bioökonomie bereitstellen zu können, wurde ein Monitoringkonzept entwickelt, welches die mit der Bioökonomie in Deutschland in Zusammenhang stehenden biobasierten Ressourcen und Nach-haltigkeitseffekte erfasst und beziffert. Grundsätzlich beginnt ein Monitoringzyklus mit der Definition von Bioökonomie und der Implementierung dieser Definition in Form einer Zuweisung konkreter Stoffströme oder wirtschaftlicher Aktivitäten zur Bioökonomie zum Untersuchungszeitpunkt. Basierend auf diesen Zuweisungen erfolgt die Auswahl geeigneter Datenquellen und die eigentliche Quantifizierung der relevanten Stoffströme und der biobasierten Anteile der Wirtschaftszweige. Diese Daten werden nachfolgend für die Bestimmung der Nachhaltigkeitseffekte von Stoffströmen und auf sektoraler Ebene genutzt. Der Monitoringzyklus kann zu jedem späteren Zeitpunkt wiederholt werden. Dabei ist die Überprüfung der zugrundeliegenden Bioökonomiedefinition von großer Bedeutung, da sich neben Marktentwicklungen auch politische Zielstellungen und gesellschaftliche Ansprüche verändern können. Identifizierung und Quantifizierung von Stoffströmen legen die Grundlage für das Verständnis von biobasierten Wertschöpfungsketten und der Endverwendung von Biomasse und liefern so Informationen für eine stoffstrombasierte Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung. Im vorliegenden Bericht werden Stoffströme der relevanten Biomassen aus Land- und Forstwirtschaft sowie Fischerei und Aquakultur in einer einheitlichen Struktur zusammengeführt. Die dafür benötigten Daten sind in konsistenter Form nicht verfügbar, sondern müssen aus vielen verschiedenen Quellen zusammengestellt werden. Im Zuge dessen ergeben sich Inkonsistenzen v.a. in Bezug auf Basiseinheiten und Umrechnungsfaktoren, die in zukünftigen Arbeiten im Rahmen eines verstetigten Monitorings noch stärker adressiert werden müssen. Biobasierte Anteile der Wirtschaftszweige können unter maßgeblicher Nutzung amtlicher Statistiken berechnet werden. Die Anteile variieren sehr stark in Abhängigkeit vom betrachteten Wirtschaftszweig. So zeigt die Herstellung von Lebensmitteln und Getränken sowie von Produkten aus Holz die höchsten biobasierten Anteile. Wirtschaftszweige, für die eine verstärkte Nutzung nachwachsender Rohstoffe erwartet wird, wie die Chemieindustrie, die Kunststoffherstellung und das Bauwesen, weisen im Betrachtungszeitraum noch vergleichsweise geringe biobasierte Anteile auf. Das formulierte Konzept zur Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung umfasst zwei komplementäre Ansätze: stoffstrombasierte und sektorale Bewertung. Letztere quantifiziert die Gesamteffekte der Bioökonomie eines Landes und setzt sie in Beziehung zur gesamten Wirtschaft oder bestimmter Wirtschaftsbereiche. Die vorgestellten Nachhaltigkeitseffekte und zugehörigen Indikatoren wurden basierend auf den Sustainability Development Goals, der Deutschen Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie und in Abhängigkeit der Datenverfügbarkeit ausgewählt. Der Auswahl der zu quantifizierenden Nachhaltigkeitseffekte kommt in einem zukünftigen Monitoring eine wesentliche Bedeutung zu, da es sich bei Nachhaltigkeit um ein normatives Konzept handelt. Bei der Auswahl der zu untersuchenden Effekte sollte das Nachhaltigkeitsverständnis verschiedener Anspruchsgruppen berücksichtigt werden. Vor diesem Hintergrund empfehlen wir die Anwendung der LOFASA-Methodik für die Auswahl von Kriterien und Indikatoren zur Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung. Die Methodik für die stoffstrombasierte Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung wird anhand des Leitproduktes EPAL 1 Palette und des zugehörigen Nadelholzstoffstroms vorgestellt und kombiniert Stoffstromanalyse und Lebenszyklusanalyse. Die wichtigsten Herausforderungen für ein zukünftiges Monitoring der Bioökonomie bestehen in der Verfügbarkeit aktueller Daten verschiedener Aggregationsebenen, der Identifizierung biobasierter Prozesse und Produkte in den amtlichen statistischen Klassifikationen, der Beschreibung von Schnittstellen zwischen verschiedenen Biomassetypen, der Auswahl geeigneter Indikatoren der Nachhaltigkeitsbewertung und in der Berücksichtigung biobasierter Dienstleistungen. The transition of the current economic system from non-renewable and fossil-based towards a more sustainable system using renewable resources is a dedicated objective of the German National Bioeconomy Strategy. In order to provide sound information on the status of the bioeconomy, a monitoring concept that assesses the bio-based resources and sustainability effects associated with German bioeconomy was developed. The general monitoring approach includes a definition of the bioeconomy and its implementation in terms of material flows and economic sectors at a given point in time. Based on this, available data is collected and bio-based material flows and economic sectors are quantified. These quantifications are used in the following sustainability assessment of material flows and economic sectors. This procedure can be repeated, starting again with a definition of bioeconomy that may change over time according to changing policies, market development and public perceptions of bioeconomy. Thus, bioeconomy monitoring considers the dynamics of the bioeconomy transition concerning processes, products, available data and connected sustainability goals. Understanding and quantifying material flows provides the foundation for comprehending the processing of biomass along value chains and final biomass uses. They also provide information for sustainability assessment. For biomass from agriculture, forests and fisheries including aquaculture, relevant material flows are compiled. Material flow data is not available consistently but must be collected from a broad variety of sources. Consequently, inconsistencies regarding reference units and conversion factors arise that need to be addressed further in a future monitoring. Bio-based shares of economic sectors can be quantified using mostly official statistics, but also empirical data. Bio-based shares vary considerably between economic activities. The manufacture of food products, beverages and wooden products has the highest bio-based shares. Bioeconomy target sectors like chemicals, plastics and construction still have rather small bio-based shares. The suggested assessment of sustainability effects foresees two complimentary levels of evaluation: material flows and economic sectors. The latter quantifies total effects of bioeconomy in a country and relates them to the whole economy or parts of it. The presented indicators were selected based on the Sustainability Development Goal Framework, the German Sustainable Development Strategy and the availability of data. The selection of effects and indicators to be measured in a future monitoring is a crucial point of any quantification. With sustainability being a normative concept, societal perceptions of sustainability should be taken into consideration here. In that context, we suggest to follow the approach of LOFASA for indicator selection. Sustainability assessment of material flows is demonstrated on the example of softwood lumber material flow and its core product EPAL 1 pallet using a combination of material flow analysis and life cycle assessment. Major challenges for a future monitoring of the bioeconomy’s resource base and sustainability are availability of detailed and aggregated data, identification of bio-based processes and products within the economic classifications, identification and quantification of interfaces between biomass types, selection of indicators for sustainability assessment and the inclusion of bio-based services.

    We investigate how negatively reciprocal traits of unemployed individuals interact with "sticks" policies imposing constraints on individual job search effort in the context of the German welfare system. For this we merge survey data of long-term unemployed individuals, containing indicators of reciprocity as a personality trait, to a unique set of register data on all unemployed coached by the same team of caseworkers and their treatments. We find that the combination of a higher negative reciprocity and a stricter regime have a negative interaction effect on search effort exerted by the unemployed. The results are stronger for males than for females. Stricter regimes may therefore drive long-term unemployed males with certain types of social preferences further away from the labor market.

    The OECD Survey on Blended Finance Funds and Facilities represents a major step forward to consolidate evidence to inform policy makers and market players in the blended finance field, as they strive to both mobilise and shift financing towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This working paper presents findings from the 2018 edition of the OECD survey relating to the development strategy, performance tracking and evaluation approach of the surveyed blended finance funds and facilities. It provides new evidence on the extent to which blended finance vehicles anchor their investment strategy, as well as their environmental, social and governance (ESG) safeguards, to international agreements on sustainable development. It investigates how blended finance vehicles structure their monitoring and evaluation function, track development performance and assess development results.
