How Germany is phasing out lignite
“It shouldn’t look aggressive”
Today, industrial-scale mining is a high-tech activity that transforms places and regions by creating massive technological infrastructures. “The public” and its relationship with this industry are seen as increasingly relevant for mining projects; however, the role technologies play in this regard is as yet under-researched. In this article, we use an example from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research program to examine how technoscientific…
Phasing out and in
Rohstoffe für die Energiewende
Damit die Energiewende vollzogen werden kann, müssen Rohstoffe ausreichend zur Verfügung stehen ‐ die Industrie braucht dafür einen verlässlichen Rahmen. Dies darf aber nicht bedeuten, einfach den Status quo bewahren zu wollen. Statt sich auf Technologiefragen und Effizienzsteigerung zu konzentrieren, sollte sich die Industrie vielmehr auch gegenüber Suffizienzfragen öffnen
Futurizing politics and the sustainability of real-world experiments
The German energy transition towards more sustainable forms of energy production has been characterized as a large-scale or real-world experiment. Whereas experiments are open-ended processes set up explicitly to allow (or even generate) surprises, by contrast sustainability implies the pursuit of clearly defined, normative ends. Whereas much of the literature on system transformation builds on the concept of innovation, our hypothesis is that fo…
When environmental legacy becomes a resource
Die Rohstoffversorgung für die Energiewende
Im Zuge der Energiewende steigt der Rohstoffbedarf für den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energietechnologien. Um die Versorgung mit Kupfer, Kobalt oder Seltenen Erden zu sichern, werden bislang vornehmlich technologische Lösungen wie Recycling oder die Erschließung neuer Rohstoffquellen diskutiert, so etwa in der Studie Rohstoffe für die Energieversorgung der Zukunft . Gesellschaftliche, für Nachhaltigkeit entscheidende Perspektiven wie die Interessen loka…

Local Churches in the Diffusion Process of Renewable Energies – A Key to New Milieus? Kirchengemeinden im Diffusionsprozess erneuerbarer Energien – Schlüssel zu neuen Milieus
The lifestyle of traditional social milieus is typically characterised by a conservative set of beliefs, often accompanied by sceptical attitudes towards innovations of any kind. Such milieus include most members of the German Catholic and Protestant faith communities. Hence, the question arises: can local churches exert influence on the spread of climate-friendly innovations? Our project examined the role of local churches in the diffusion proce…
Estimation With Response Error and Nonresponse
Error in survey data originates from failure to contact the sample and from false answers to verifiable questions. These errors may be systematic and associated with uncooperative or unreliable respondents. Zabel modeled attrition in the Survey of Income and Program Participation and found systematic demographic and design effects. Bollinger and David modeled response error and identified correlations to income per capita. In this analysis, we li…

Changes in cohort wealth over a generation
Empirical computation of expected wealth is hampered by two problems: mortality risks vary in the population and over time; and observation of net estates for most cohorts is truncated, as some individuals in a cohort survive the calendar date on which observation is terminated. These two problems are solved in estimating cohort wealth for a sample of Wisconsin taxpayers. Hazard rate models of differential occupational mortality risks were estima…

The Effect of Social Security on Lifetime Wealth Accumulation and Bequests
This paper is an empirical study of the effects of security on lifetime wealth accumulation and bequests. Using a sample of Wisconsin males, we have matched lifetime earnings records from income tax returns with their security account records and their bequests obtained from probate court records. Since the cohort of males was born between 1890 and 1899, they represent a cohort that saw a great change in the size and coverage by occupation of the…

Forecasting Short-Run Variation in Labor Market Activity
EVERY adult consciously or unconsciously determines the extent to which he supplies labor for economic activities. Every business determines the extent to which it wishes to increase its work force by new hiring or the extent to which it wishes to reduce its work force by layoffs. The outcome of these decisions is recorded in a monthly tally of the employed (E), unemployed (U), new hires (h), layoffs and quits (s),' and the number of adults outsi…

Welfare, Income, and Budget Needs
R EAL disposable income is the measure generally accepted by economists as an indicator of the welfare of a household. Were we living in a world in which each individual formed a household and in which everyone required exactly the same goods to maintain himself, real disposable income might be an adequate measure. However, households are generally complex, and the income of a household must support a number of individuals whose daily requirement…
